If you can see the twisted, turning road etched in the faraway mountains, you should consider getting a FlowCushion if that's your daily commute! 101 and 1 along the California coast was my weekend jaunt as I visited a few California missions for the purpose of promoting a work of fiction for their inventories. Five to be exact - Carmel, San Juan Bautista, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and La Purisima.

Overall, the weather was lovely and the views spectacular. The seat cushion kept me comfortable not only on the long plane to Oakland, but all through the drive down to San Diego (yes, this was an epic trip) I definitely wanted to take full advantage of the time I had there, and see as much of the landscape as possible.

Living in Virginia Beach, we don't have mountains obviously, and seeing these beautiful multi-million dollar homes lodged in the range trailing down the state was an impressive site to see. I took advantage of an extended stop at Pepperdine University in Malibu to take pictures of the gorgeous campus. Unfortunately, my tight schedule did not allow lengthy stops until we got to San Diego, so I didn't get to play movie buff tourist.

If I could be thankful for one thing, though, is having the alternating pressure seat cushion for the flight home! My flight from San Diego to Houston - my connector - was delayed two hours due to inclement weather that froze airport operations in Texas. Since I'd had a rough ride, I kept the FlowCushion on and napped until we got off the ground. When I couldn't move around the cabin, the cushion helped ease the discomfort of the prolonged trip home. A definite comfort, and a definite keeper for the next long trip.
