San Diego

Got here. Just lovely, lovely, lovely. The view out my window at the Westin of San Diego Bay -- shiny bright blue water, battleships and sailboats, hacienda red tile roof houses and bleached white stucco apartments, palm trees with full heads of green hair.

And the warmth ... well, it was quite a day yesterday starting off in a blizzard on the runway in Boston watching them hose our plane down with slightly pink tinted de-icing liquid before we could escape the freezing breezes for this tropical paradise.
