I just got home from a whirlwind trip to San Diego.
Lets see…
I missed my flight in Eugene…. turns out the boarding pass machine turns off at 30 minutes before the flight. 27 minutes before the flight was too late… watched the plane leave.
I got a friend to help me drive to Portland. Drove to portland, checked in online in car, made the flight. Got to San Diego eight hours after getting up.
Had meetings until 6. Dinner from 7-9 in the Gaslamp at a Tapas restaurant.
Meetings from 9 to 11, then sleep.
Meetings from 9 til 12. Then visited Wavehouse and Mission beach. Then off to the USS Midway. Then off to the SD Maritime Museum. Then off to the House of Blues. Then off to the hotel for a meeting. Meetings… Then dinner at O’Brother’s organic burger joint. Then off to check out roof top bars. Saw the Stingaree club (amazing!), then the “Beach” on the roof of the W. Sleep finally at midnight.
Meetings from 8 til 10:30. Checkout at 11. Then off to the Air and Space museum. Then off to the Natural History Museum. Then off to Prado for lunch. Then a tour of Prado’s ballroom (great for a SD wedding). Then off to tour the Fleet museum. Then off to the airport.
Wow. That was a long trip. I got to see several of San Diego’s highlights. In a “one hour per location” pace, I got to see but not really inspect all these great places.
San Diego was fun. Now to rest and recover for normal life in Eugene.
