Query Same Table Twice

The oversimplified version of my issue is this...

Table Locations
[LocationID]
[LocationName]

Table Trips
[TripID]
[TripDate]
[StartingLocation] <--LocationID
[EndingLocation] <--LocationID

You've probably figured it out already, but the question is, how do I do a query that returns all of the trips in the form:

Trips.TripDate, Locations.LocationName, Locations.LocationName

with the starting and ending locations represented.

Thanks!
Chuck

SELECT T.TripDate, S.LocationName StartingLocation, E.LocationName EndingLocation
FROM Trips T
INNER JOIN Locations S ON T.StartingLocation=S.LocationID
INNER JOIN Locations E ON T.EndingLocation=E.LocationID
