First the good. San Francisco, how I love you. Your weather, your laid back attitude, and your ridiculously nice people make me wanna pack up my tribe and move West.
Adios for now. By the way, you are much prettier than this airplane shot.
The ugly. Me….bringing up the rear on the flight
But look what was waiting for me when I got to L.A. …even if it is for just a few hours.

I made it to San Francisco – part one of the California trek is underway. We have an event tonight and then it’s an early flight to L.A. on Thursday – then another event that night – followed by a redeye that gets me home by Friday morning!
With all the delays I didn’t check into the hotel last night until 11:30pm PST. But because I like to keep on EST when traveling… I was wide awake by 3:15am PST (my usual). I ordered some breakfast to kill time. Here’s how the room service convo went:
Me: hi there – can I order some room service please?
Dude: Ofcourse, unfortunately we are only serving from the late night menu I’m afraid – the dinner service is over.
Me: no problem at all, because I’d like breakfast! Coffee and rye toast.
Dude: (……long pause…..)oh yes, not a problem.
Bless his heart and mine.
Anyway- in the tradition of things I won’t be able to enjoy while I’m here see picture below…

in Yes, I'm an event planner Tags: Beach, California, Chicago, Hotel, humor, Life, Photography, Planning, travel, work
I’ve been an event planner for a long time. For the majority of that time I’ve worked for large mothership corporations that have sent me traveling all over the country (and beyond). Now that my kids are older, they always ask if I’ve seen the sites of whatever state (mental/physical, take your pick) I just got back from.
Kids: ”*Mommy, did you go to the Hollywood Sign?”
Me: “nope”
Kids: “Mommy, did you go to the Alamo? Ride a trolley?”
Me: “umm no and no”
So I started taking pictures of the parts of the city I do get to see – from my room
Crack-O-Dawn, Santa Monica, CA
(this is as close as I got to the beach)
Crack-O-Dawn, Chicago, IL
(this is as close as I got to Lake Michigan)
You get the point.
*PLEAE NOTE: My kids want you to know that they don’t call me Mommy anymore…but since it’s my blog…Mommy Mommy Mommy!!
