I’m here for a conference. This is the view from my hotel window. Spiffy, eh?

My Trip to Holland
Well, not actually the country, but the family. I had a chance to spend the afternoon with my old buddy Shane and his family. Vicki’s parents have left chilly Connecticut and relocated permanently to the Bay Area, and were enjoying time with Ian (now 2-ish) and Max, who only arrived a few months ago. Boy are those kids cute! Click here for the gallery featuring the kids, with a good dose of grandparents thrown in as well!
I left my…in San Francisco
Actually, to my own amazement, I don’t think I left anything behind. But I did have a great time visiting that most civilized of cities last week. Here is a gallery of shots, scenic and otherwise, I shot while there. My base of operations was the lovely Hotel Vitale on the Embarcadero, with my room overlooking the Bay Bridge. The weather was cool (mid-60s), and the fog came and went, adding to the experience. As I noted to my fellow Atlanta-bound travellers as we entered SFO when leaving, that’s the last time I’m likely to feel those sorts of temps at midday until October or so at home.
Seems like a Dream…
Quick trip to NYC for one night this week – stayed close to Columbus Circle at Dream NYC – where the rooms have a lovely glow about them. It took me at least 10 minutes to figure out which switch turned off the ‘soothing’ lights. Felt like I was back in the 70s, less the shag carpet. Nice room nonetheless.
