So, I’m leaving for San Francisco in a few hours in what will be quite the lengthy journey. I’m leaving my house at 7:00 AM Eastern, having my parents drive me to a shuttle that leaves at 9:00, getting to the airport at 10:30, catching a plane at 12:20, arriving in Houston a few hours later, catching another plane after an hour layover, arriving at SF at 5:00, taking BART to my hotel, and then walking the remaining distance to my hotel which I figure I’ll get to at around 5:30-6:00 Pacific Time. Total trip time: 14 hours. I’ve checked out a 700+ page biography of LBJ from the library to keep me company.

It turns out I’m going to get to spend time with Heather for a good portion of the trip if not all of it, which is really great. I planned the trip with the idea that I might not see her at all and I was fine with that, but I’m definitely glad it’s working out that I will get to spend a significant amount of time with her. I will also be meeting longtime diary reader Brittainy for the first time, which is equally exciting. And, of course, I’ll be seeing some sights of San Francisco too. I’ve been to the city twice before, but only for brief day visits, so I’m looking forward to actually staying there for 4 days and taking in a lot more of the atmosphere of the city than I’ve had a chance to in the past.

Heather is still probably the person in my life that I feel closest to, despite how far away she lives, so any opportunity I get to see her is something I look forward to a lot and I always especially cherish it because I can never be sure when our schedules will line up in such a way that allows us to see each other again. So, the next few days should be fun. I wish I could stay longer, but Christmas is irritatingly interrupting the possibility of that. Stupid Christmas.

Oh, and if yo

u’re a new reader and don’t know who Heather is this entry should give you at least a quick and dirty idea of our relationship.
