...CALIFORNIA...I.AM.HEEEERE!
So after crying like a baby after leaving The Mister at departures, after taking off my shoes a billion times and walking through a bunch of customs people asking me what kind of convention I'm going to and after getting into the taxi in California acting like I owned it (so people wouldn't be able to tell I'm a completely brand new tourist) and AFTER the taxi driver dropped me off at the WRONG hotel and after walking 15 minutes to get to the ACTUAL hotel and in between that time having a should-have-been-slow-motion-meeting-up-in-the-middle moment with Marti amidst luggage and slick sidewalks *breathes* I. AM. HEEEEERE!
Well, at least the wrong hotel that I got dropped off at will be our hotel in a couple of days. Which is awesome because that hotel is SEXY (and right on the doorstep of the convention center as well!)
So anywho...did I forget to mention that that 15 minute walk was in the RAIN? Okay, I'm not whining....I'm just saying, okay!?
I think we'll just be taking it easy tonight because our bodies are thinking it's already 7 pm when I'm pretty sure it's only 4 pm right now Anaheim time...
...tomorrow.......Tim Holtz....stay tuned!

Yuck, no fun to travel in the rain, but I'm sure it's better than the cold & snow you left behind.
well at least it wasn't SNOW or ICE!

Ok ... you wanted an "adventure", right? Maybe walking to your hotel wasn't in the plan ... nor was the rain ... but you must have been having fun anyway. The anticipation mounts ... YOU'RE AT THE CONVENTION!!! YIPPEEEE!!! ♥Carol♥
