...Hello World...

Well, tis day 1 and all through the country I did fly.  Down to Phoenix and then over to San Diego.  The first 5 hours of the trip I was bombarded with screams and cries of the not so adorable children seated in front of me.  Love airplanes, but, I didn't pay for the ticket so I will not complain.  On the second half of this trip I met a very nice lady sitting across the aisle from me; the window seat by her happened to be open and she offered it to me.  I gladly obliged.  She was a pleasure to sit with on the plane. 

As we approached San Diego I didn't even feel the plane touch the ground (props to the pilot)..... :D......   Had to call the hotel so they could pick me up, and sat down to talk to the nice lady again, she had a 4 Hour wait for her ride.  I couldn't even imagine.  We got talking and I used my nifty smartphone to find a casino for her to hang out at. . . it was her idea. . .  Here's where I start to feel terrible.  We were talking and she had just started a story "When I visited New Orleans last..." and the hotel driver phoned me.  Unfortunately without thinking I rudely got up and walked away from this nice lady and went up and found him because he said he was going to get ticketed if I didn't hurry up.  I feel bad for just walking away.  Not even saying goodbye. . . oh well I'm sure she understands, and I hope she wins a ton of money at the casino.   

Got to the hotel, and the room was not booked.  Luckily they had a room in one of the blocks set aside for people like me.  Got up to the room,  51" TV and 2 queen beds! Nice!

Now I sit facing South in a Starbucks.  Contemplating whats to eat for $20 around here.  Thinking a Po Boy shrimp sandwich sounds delicious.  Wanted to try Swordfish, but it's almost 30 bucks.  I'll pass.  

Tis day 1 and all the the country I did fly, so good bye for now.  Until I find another fine establishment with free wifi...

Cheers.
