Planes, Trains, but no Automobile

Published May 8th, 2008

I’ve got a trip coming up. I’ll be heading up to San Francisco this Sunday evening, on business. There’s a conference for a software package we use (and aren’t particularly fond of) and my boss wants me to put in an appearance - as well as voice a concern or two. Otherwise, I don’t foresee the conference being of much value to me. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

On the upside, I’ll be able to do a *little* recreational activity, unlike the last business trip to SF I took. That time, I was stuck in a hotel by the airport, with really nothing around. This time, I’ll be right in The City (pompous bastages) in the Embarcadero. I’m meeting one of my best friends for dinner - I haven’t seen him in a while and I missed out on the last trip my friends took to visit him - on Sunday night, after I fly in. And somehow take the BART from the airport to the stop near my hotel. Never used the BART, not really sure how that all works.

Anyway. I’m also really excited to go to the Giants game Monday night! I’ve never been to that stadium, actually haven’t even been to a baseball game this year. It’s been far too long since I got out to a game around here. I have a great seat too, and I am bringing my camera for sure. So stay tuned for that.

Tuesday night is business dinner. Yeah.

Wednesday morning I figure out a way back to the aeropuerto and fly back to Los Angeles. Trip over.

Sorry to all my SF friends who I will not be able to see. I apologize in advance - if I could skip out on the conference and just visit people, I totally would. That probably wouldn’t be wise though.
