The second leg of my trip from Singapore to Tokyo, then to Los Angeles was better than I anticipated. It was an 18 hour journey, the trip to Tokyo taking 7 hours followed by a break for an hour and a 10 hour journey to LA. As usual, the in flight service at SA was excellent – good meals, snacks, comfortable seats and great movie selections – though I wish the tamil movie could have been anything but Satyaraj’s 
.
The immigration and customs at LA was breeze, I landed at 12:30PM and was out by 1:10PM. Straight I went to the domestic United gates for my domestic flight to San Jose via Santa Barbara – before this I thought Santa Barbara to be only a popular TV Serial. This was a Skywest Airlines’ Brazilia Plane. Santa Barbara should be the smallest airport that I have been to, it was surprising to see an US Airport with only one flight and no big airstrip for landing. The airport was nothing but a small stretch of land for landing and talkoff and a small waiting room. That’s it. From Santa Barabara I reached San Jose and stayed for couple of days with my cousin in Milpitas. Milpitas is a nice residential township.
