I&#8217;d forgotten how tiring flying can be. (And I&#8217;m getting a bit nervous about spending 17 straight hours on a plane this summer!) Still, we arrived safe and sound, and just in time to wait around for the super shuttle. Yep. Wait, and\u00a0 wait. Eventually, though, we made it to the hotel, got registered for the conference and headed to Macy&#8217;s for dinner. Yep. Macy&#8217;s. There&#8217;s a Cheescake Factory right in the store there. I don&#8217;t know how a person would go about finding it on their own, but we had good directions. And, it was yummy.<\/p>\n<p>Dad was a great sport listening to Mandy and I all day yesterday in the car and on the plane. Today, though, he headed off with Marcus, and I haven&#8217;t heard from him since. I would imagine the two of them are getting into all kinds of trouble. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a lot of fun to run into folks from my &#8220;former&#8221; life. It&#8217;s been especially fun to bump into people where I wouldn&#8217;t have expected &#8211; or even some I just flat didn&#8217;t know I&#8217;d see. I got to talk briefly with AnnMarie this morning and then saw C.O. and Harold as we were leaving for the evening. I also heard my name at lunch today and turned to find a friend, Jason, from Unalakleet.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve also caught up with some of\u00a0 my past SFA teammates. Tomorrow I&#8217;m having lunch with my friend and former colleague, Sharon, and intend to get caught up on her life! It\u00a0 makes me miss pieces of my past&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the time here has been fast, but good.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-997\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/02\/img_0727-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_0727\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">We walked past the apple store today, and of course I thought of Bill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Tonight we headed down to the Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf. We just walked around, looked at the shops, and\u00a0 saw some street entertainment. We got passes for the cable cars, buses, and BART (whatever that stands for), so we&#8217;re pretty set for getting around. I&#8217;m thankful that DeeAnn is confident, as I wouldn&#8217;t have known how to maneuver around here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-998\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/02\/img_0728-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"img_0728\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-999\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/02\/img_0731-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"img_0731\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1000\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/02\/img_0732-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"img_0732\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1001\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/02\/img_0733-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"img_0733\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1002\" src=\"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/erin\/files\/2009\/02\/img_0739-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_0739\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow it&#8217;s more conference and possibly a trip to a restaurant on top of some building&#8230; apparently you can see the whole city from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got into San Francisco yesterday evening after a long flight.
