Arriving in San Francisco

I survived the flight to San Francisco, but it felt like it would never end. Even more gruelling was the line at the car rental place. I thought we'd never get out of the airport! But get out we did.

We finally found the hotel after driving around a bit... lots of one way streets... I hate that. Then when we pulled up to the hotel, the nice man in the suit and top hat told us we had to go around a few more blocks and drive into a different entrance. We had already visited all these streets on our first go-around, so no problem, right? Except for that first wrong turn. But we eventually made it.

While checking in, the Senior Sales Manager for our event came to welcome us. Turns out they've got a couple of prime seats for tomorrow's baseball game. We kept the night open, so now we'll be going to the game. I think we'll need to invest in some warmer clothes before we go. It is a night game, after all, and we packed for the 90 degree weather we left behind, not the 60 degree weather we came into.

We got ready for our meeting with the PR firm, and took a taxi over... you can't get lost that way. Had a one-hour power meeting :) and then walked back to the hotel.

Back in my room, and now I'm feeling the love. Our event gurus have left a personalized card, cheese, crackers, fruit, and some lovely gourmet cookies. The strawberries are delicious, and I think I'll have the pear and banana for breakfast.

That's all for now, I've got to get ready for dinner. Wish I could have taken a nap, but I wouldn't have been able to sleep, I would have worried about waking up in time. Well, that, and messing up my hair.
