Ok, so I setup a time to go up to Sacramento to meet with the group I work with.. and then planned to spend 1 day in San Fransisco at the main office with the boss.. and then head home. It was a nice simple trip.. under $200 round trip, stay at the same hotel I did last time so I know where I’m going.. all is perfect.
Then I try to fly up to Sacramento and find out that I had apparently setup to go via the wrong airport… next flight was in the afternoon (2pm).. and that was only to LAX.. then I’d have to see if they could get me on standby to Sacramento.
Screw that.. I drove.. got into town at 4pm (before the late flight would have arrived).. checked in to the hotel, cancelled the rental car.. all was well. Went to work, uneventful, went home. Next day the plan was to drive down to San Fransisco.. a quick 2.5 hour drive and I was there.. worked there during the day and then had coffee with a friend from work. Time was about 7:30, I expected the trip to be faster since it was not rush hour…
Driving back from San Fransisco to Sacramento.. I decided to stop for a quick minute at a Starbucks over near the 3Com stadium.. grabbed a drink and then realized there was no way back on to the highway where I was. I started driving around in what I felt was the right direction… so about 20min later I come across Mission street.. later followed by Lombard street [didn’t drive it], passed Fisherman’s wharf and ended up going over the Golden Gate bridge. I got back to the hotel about 11pm.
At least I have something to show for the adventure *g*:

Anyway, tonight at a bit before 7pm I finally made it home after stopping for Subway for dinner.. not bad for leaving at 8:30am from Sacramento.. (if it weren’t for LA traffic I’d have been home at 3:30pm)
