Hello From Sunny California!

[lizbud]

Wow, it sounds like a very fun & exciting day of sight seeing.
I almost felt like I was there. Wonder how much a ticket to
San Francisco is ?

[CathyBogart]

Welcome to California! Any plans to be in the San Jose area?

This day just flew by! I've been in sessions since 9 a.m. It's now 5:30 p.m. and I'm jumping on real quick to say hi. Then I'm heading to my hotel for a power nap, then having dinner with my coworkers at 7. Later tonight or tomorrow night I'm going out to a club with my friend Dave. Yay dancing! *lol*

This trip has been an absolute blast.

Cool! Which club? If it's open, check out Ruby Skye or the 1015. Both awesome club spots!

Oh Kim it sounds like you having a wonderful time in Cali, I wish I could be there with you!

HOPE YOU ARE HAVING FUN IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA!

Supposed to get rain today, but it's still pretty nice out. Not like back home. When I talked to mom on Monday she said it had snowed!!

I think this will probably be the last time I'm able to get online before I leave (unless I want to pay).

Had a great time at dinner with my co-workers. Afterwards, Ron, Kori, Helen, and I went to a nearby bar for a drink.

Dave had called and had to work late again, so no dancing last night. Hopefully we'll get a chance tonight.

This trip has been a lot of fun. I've learned a lot at these seminars. I don't really want to leave, but I am starting to get a little homesick and I'm anxious to put to use the new stuff I've learned.

I miss my fur kids.

Did you make it to pier 39?

[ramanth]

Yes I did. The seals are very cool.

No line at lunch! *gasp* Had lunch at Lori's Dinner. Great burger. mmmm.

I have another session at 1:30 and then another at 3.

And that will be it for IUG. Meeting RedHedd for dinner.

Gina, thanks for the idea of taking Kim up to Twin Peaks; unfortunately the weather last night did not cooperate as it was gray and rainy. We DID drive up there and got a wonderful view of .... tons of FOG and rain. It was so gray we couldn't see a thing. Kim did take pics of all the grayness but I think the best shot she got was of the street sign that said Twin Peaks. Maybe next time ....

Then I took her down some steep hills through lots of traffic. We ended the journey in my neighborhood where we met her friend Dave, who just moved to the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago. We ate at one of my current favorite restaurants on the street where I live. It's an Indian restaurant and the food was yummy.

Afterwards we went up to my very messy apartment that's currently in the midst of moving - lots of boxes and dust abound! I was quite embarassed to have people see the mess, but Kim wanted to meet the cats. Mishi was meowing at the door when we arrived, however Mitzi high-tailed it for under the bed when she realized strangers were in her house and even treats wouldn't coax her out to meet company. She's my shy cat.

I think Kim got many good pics and even some video of Mishi being the silly, goofy ham he is.

Kim, I hope you and Dave didn't get lost getting back to your hotel. Did you guys go out dancing too? I hope you enjoyed your stay in our beautiful City and that you have a safe trip home. It's always wonderful meeting PT people f2f!

Kimmy,

Glad to hear you got there safe. Can't wait to see the pictures!!

RedHedd,

Can't wait to put a face with a post!

[RedHedd]

Kim called me this evening while I was commuting back home from work.

Her flight got her home safely last night and she slept most of today. She's staying at her parents this weekend and won't have a computer or Internet connection until Monday.

She asked that I post to let everyone know she's safely back home and will be posting pics Monday.

It was SO nice to meet another PT person f2f.

I think Edwina's Secretary is the next to come to the S.F. area, next week? Sara, let me know! Georgia

[ramanth]

I'm back!

What a great time. I need to sort thru my brain or maybe I just need a vacation after my vacation. *laughs*

It was so great meeting RedHedd, Wolflady, her hubby, and Mishi. (And seeing Mitzi's tail )

The batteries in my camera are officially dead, so I need to get them charged up before I can download pics.

Hope everyone has been well.

[wolflady]

Yay! I'm glad to know that you made it safely home and had a good time in the city! It was so nice to meet you and I hope you can come out again sometime!

**hugs**

Aaron still hasn't uploaded the pictures yet... I'll see if I can make him do it tonight! LOL

Also, we could snail-mail you a CD with all of the pictures on it if you'd like. Shoot me an email with your address if you'd like for us to do that.
**hugs**
