Sorry DR Jeanne - I didn't go into the nitty gritty because I didn't know that anyone really cared.
The conference starts Wednesday - the day I fly home - in San Diego. The DH and I are taking a few days of vacation in nearby La Jolla before it starts. And today was a gorgeous day - mid 60's, sunny, not a cloud in the sky. We napped, ate delicious food, window-shopped, and strolled by the sea, taking in the seals and the pelicans. Just a really wonderful, relaxing time.
DR JoseSPiano - thanks for the offer. I'm not going to be in San Diego proper long enough to take you up on your offer, but next time I get back here I definitely want to!!!
