Not a bad sunset, since it was taken through the dirty window of a moving train! We are in San Luis Opispo and glad to be off the train. Once again, I have found a ‘linksys’ network open and decided to post. This is from earlier when I took the picture:

I’m in ur network, uploadin my filez! I found an open wireless network while the train sits at some city outside of Santa Barbra. Thanks to the owners of the “linksys” wireless network, yeah!

We will be about an hour late pulling getting into town because of the earthquake that hit this morning. They had to go slow with the train until all the tracks were checked. That’s fine by me, a train derailment isn’t something I would like to experience.

Waiting for the train to arrive and take us to San Luis Obispo. This is the first time I’ve taken the train in 24 years.

We’re taking it easy today. It’s been a long week and we need to recharge before heading out to San Luis Opispo tomorrow.

A Post Comic-Con Message

A brief message from your host. San Diego is beautiful, wish you were here. :-)

The Load Out

Loading Out

We’re packing up and heading out of the hotel, it’s time to relocate. We will be moving to one closer to the bay for today so we can see some of the sights before leaving tomorrow. We plan to check out the museum ship USS Midway and maybe take a harbor tour. We also have to ship off the box o’ stuff back to Atlanta before settling in. We picked up a fair amount of crap at the convention and we don’t want to check it in at the airport.

More later after we’re checked in and all that.
