Ho hum. So much ground to cover.
I suspect my larygitis proceeded at a much quicker pace due to all the chit chat made heading west. It was so weird, but everywhere I went, people were in a mood to talk. Including my 3 am pickup and the midwesterner we grabbed on the way to the airport. The slight midwesterner proved to be quite the talker. He's since relocated to LA and freelances his programming skills around. Not only does he do the software, he works with hardware. Dave was really cool as he's built prototypes for the moon! Talk about cool. So we talked until boarding.
Oo! Forgot about the frisking.
JetBlue is absolutely thorough in their approach. Every single person walking through the metal detector is frisked. They take your shoes off. They touched my underwire (both of them). Then they patted my boobs to be sure I hadn't stuffed any objects in there. (Doesn't that sound comfortable?) They made me open my mouth and used a flashlight. And they used fancy swabby things to check my laptop through. it takes forever. But the flight was decidedly uneventful. ANd the middle seat was unoccupied. But the service was cheerful, the seat were really made out of leather, and I had my own little tele to watch (no movies - just tv. hgtv, discovery, espn, news, etc.) Very cool. Definitely recommend Jet Blue.
Yes. Talking. I land. I wait for another shuttle bus. In the interim I meet a guy from San Jose and a girl from NY. Lovely people. Long stories. Pretty interesting. Voice goes downhill. Anyhoo. The driver decides to drive me directly to my brother's house (instead of the Park n' Ride in La Mesa). Nice.
Tomorrow I will tell you about the bar we visited my first night. I think it's called Fannies. It has what I would deem an interesting clientele. Well intentioned, but slightly awry. And largely nonviolent (I hope:)
Sorry for cutting it short, but it feels like my eyeballs are going to pop out of my head.
Nite!
