I just got back from a quick trip to the Bay area. I had so much fun, and it was soooo nice to get away from home for a few days. Any longer and my credit card would have melted. My college roommate (Class of 1988) provided the transportation around town, lodging, and the activity planning. We went to several really nice restaurants, walked all around downtown San Francisco, spent time with her parents in Sunnyvale, and went out on New Years' Eve (her parents got home long after we did). We also went to a mall and I had my face done up for the evening (including the purchase of a much makeup to take home) and I got a massage at a very nice spa before we went out to celebrate the new year. Nothing like celebrating with some excess. I must say I think I've had more alcohol the past four days than in the past four years.
