Chicago + SF + Klamath Falls + 10 hrs + 2800 miles = 1 long day

The last time I had to make two airplane transfers (for a total of 3 different planes) to get to a destination was... well heck, I am not sure that I have ever had to do that.

• When C & I went to Tahiti, we had 1 layover (STL -> LAX -> Paradise)
• When I went to Alaska with my dad, it was direct (STL -> Palin Paradise/Anchorage)
• When I went to Israel, I stopped once each way (NYC, London or Paris)
• ...
  

But to fly from DC to visit me in Oregon, it will take poor C 10 hours and 3 planes to get there (it only takes 7.5 hours and 3 planes to get her back).

Looking at this positively, she'll get to visit Chicago (for 1 hour), San Fransisco (for 1 hour) before landing in beautiful (I'm assuming) Klamath Falls, OR. After landing in Klamath Falls, (the closest airport to Crater Lake NP) C still has a 65 miles / 1.5hrs drive to the park - talk about being in the middle of no where. With only 4 flights a day and one gate, the Klamath Falls Airport will be the smallest airport C (or I) has ever flown into.

But it will all be worth it...

This is what she'll see when she gets there (&me)
