$133.41 Hamburger
With the sunshine in SOCAL, and my temporary bachelorhood, I decided to scoot up to French Valley for lunch. Departed NZY, Lindbergh transition direct MZB direct F70 own navigation with flight following. There was a direct crosswind at F70 and my crosswind skills are a bit rusty, so I decided to make two passes there for practice. They both went well, to my surprise, so I shut down and had a quick bite of lunch. After a tasty burger, I loaded up the steed and headed back to NZY. There were a few planes who had decided to orbit at my altitude, so SOCAL climbed me to 5500, over the traffic, then back to 3500 for the rest of the way. Crossed Lindbergh at 1000, then a no-flaps landing.
Hours: 1.9
Plane: $123.50
Hamburger and Iced Tea: $9.91
Nailing a landing in an 11kt wind gusting to 15 with crosswind: Priceless.
A good time was had by all.

Sounds like a good day out! I'm very jealous of you flying in and out of North Island, and getting such a low altitude over Lindbergh for the approach.
You can get it. Depart MYF direct MZB and call Lindbergh tower requesting the Taxiway D transition to the south bay at 1500. They'll probably give it to you and switch you to Island tower as you cross midfield, then south down the bay over the Coronado bridge. All you have to do is ask.
