San Diego Marriott

It’s great to finally get to the hotel, and a nice hotel it is too. We’re on the 21st floor in the right hand tower. Posh, eh? There’s a great discounted rate for rooms here during this conference that we managed to get because we booked quick.
American Airlines lost my bag at JFK, so it didn’t make it to San Diego with me. I went shopping (Banana Republic, no less!) to get some clean clothes to change into after having a much deserved shower. It has taken us something daft like 38 hours to get from Swansea to here, so you can imagine that getting cleaned up felt pretty good. I got a few bits to tide me over, not having much faith that my bag would turn up today, but it did. Via Los Angeles.
The sun of San Diego is very rewarding. It’s warm, clean, quiet and pleasant here. It’ll be time for some beers and food soon, and hopefully we’ll stay awake.
