Day 1:

Arrived safely in CA last night.

First flight was delayed by 25-30 minutes. American Eagle (bus) to O'Hare. They have a 'valet' system which most of us used -- the crew puts the baggage somewhere else in the plane, probably because it wouldn't all fit overhead. Good for getting people seated more quickly. At the end of the flight you have to wait in the elevator/tunnel for them to get your luggage out again, which is, eh.

Originally had 1-1/2 hours to get from one gate to the next, ended up having about half an hour -- I think it could have been more time actually, but because everyone checked in early, we left early. Got in to San Jose 20 minutes ahead of schedule.

Kent was already there and I didn't have check-ins, so we just took off in niece Annie's car. Got a drive-by 'tour' of some of the 'sights' on the way to his place. Financial district, mall and its construction history, partially built projects stalled by the economy tanking -- one of which is now being disputed in court. Strange mix of stuff.

Day 2: Woke up a few times -- once when A's alarm, which she'd forgotten to take with her to the living room, went off -- but overall slept pretty well. Got up around 7:00 a.m. PT (she had to be at her internship, which is a little ways away, by 8:00 a.m.).

In just a little bit we're going to go to a store for a little shopping - K says it isn't like a regular supermarket, and should have some good stuff :)
