Dove w/ Jean from Chad. "Chad's white computer guy". Giant black sea bass swam right under me! It was blue-silver in color and about 3.5 ft length. |

Activity: Concerts/Theaters State: California City: San Diego La Jolla August, 2007 |

Went with Antje and El to La Jolla Music Society's Summerfest. Memorable chamber music evening,which I will never forget: Ravel's sonata in G min. for violin and piano, Bartok's Contrasts and Brahms' string sextet in G Major. Anne-Marie McDermott expressive. Jimmy Lin excellent. I find La Jolla Summerfest the best in the country. Located near the center of La Jolla (for dinner),everything is superior: the elegance of the players, a well designed program,the concert hall is intimate, the audience extremely well dressed and appreciative. For those who love classical music, this is a must event. |

Went shopping as part of my A-Phi reunion with Maggie, Linda, Bardon and Gaevert. What fun! Looked in the boutiques but I'm always hesitant to buy anything unless it's low risk because I might want to return it. Found a pair of capri denim pants at Gap (though absolutely nothing else was exciting), a ridiculously cute green jersey cotton top (my green thing!) from a cheap chic boutique and a meshy creme top from Banana. Was fun seeing the girls! |

Double Tree Golf Course. Well, I played pretty horribly. Probably the worst round ever since I started...okay, maybe not worst. I played with John Goode, Rich Lutz and Joe Wong from HP. I was filling in for someone in the HP golf league. I flew into the water with my first drive on Hole 1 and then barely cleared post-mully. We finished 18 but the 18th was definitely in the dark. Amazingly, we all were able to find our original balls by staying someone around where we needed to hit the ball. |

OAK is as good a way to get to SF, especially downtown, as SFO, thanks to the close BART proximity. It would be great if BART was in the airport, but it's a short bus ride, and from there right into the bay area rail system. Southwest has good deals into OAK. |

Activity: Work/School State: California City: San Diego SAN Airport 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Ah, the joy of a small airport in a large city. SAN has never been a problem checking bags with only a 1hr. lead time, and the terminal is clean and cozy. Be aware there are three terminals (1, 2, and a commuter terminal to go to LA). You can park for $0.50 for 1/2 hour if picking up a passenger - otherwise the on-airport parking is expensive ($20/day I think). Off-site parking is close and is available for $12 per day. |
