If you're going...

Open road

Last weekend I took a quick three-day trip to San Francisco, for reasons I won't go into here. This means that within the space of three weeks I visited both sides of the Pacific, but never crossed it. It also means that I logged a total of 48 hours of flying time, so I've seen pretty much all of the bad in-flight movies that are out right now.

Despite being such a short trip, it was good to be back...I got to see a few good friends, visit some old haunts, stock up at Fry's, and fill a suitcase with cereal, peanut butter, and other things that are hard to find in Spain. There's nothing like a 19,000 km trip to the supermarket for some english muffins.
