You very quickly ascertain there is direct flight departing Reagan National at 11:00 am that will get you into Orange County John Wayne Airport at 7:00 pm after making three intermediate stops en route. And the yacht harbor is located a very short distance from the airport. You book a seat, pack your bags and head over to DCA. BTW, you'll have plenty to eat on this flight on your way out to SNA as no less than three full meals will served by this airline which has a reputation for quality on board service. Name the air carrier you'll be flying with as well as the aircraft type and all three stops in order.
call me a curmudgeon if you will, but DCA doesn't have a middle name, and its only first name is "Washington" ... and this was CERTAINLY the case in 1987
