and here is another thing

we live in the O"Hare flight path about a mile from Lake Michigan and while our planes come about every two minutes when they are on that Foster Avenue flight path we never get to see them close up like you do here in San Diego.  I tired to get a good picture but the planes came by so infrequently I got tired of waiting for a really good shot- but you  kind of get the idea from this picture- taken of Fifth Street 

but here is the best thing- the airport is only five minutes away from downtown- how cool is that!  

ah yes

San Diego in November with 100* yesterday- as I said a few posts back global warming anyone?  so here I am to attend the best meeting of the year from a business standpoint.  lots of my favorite business colleagues and lots of collegial sharing of information - just a really great group and since I am heading towards a free life this is my last time to meet with this group.  no point in getting all sentimental, let's talk about some amazing things.

for instance the hotel provides robes for its guests- LOL and here is a photo of the robes

so perhaps the place is a bit too hip for my husband and me - LOL
