Back in LA after 5 nights in San Jose. This morning Ruth & I managed to take a quick drive down to Monterey for a look around before flying to LA. Tomorrow we’ll be making the wonderful flight back home to Sydney.
14 hours in economy.. lovely.

Almost a year to the day since my last visit, i’m back in San Jose.
Ruth & I caught the CalTrain up to San Francisco this morning for a few hours looking around Fishermans Wharf and Union Square before making the 1.5 hour return journey.
Tonight we had dinner at the wonderful PF Changs… yum!

Thank god for frequent flyer lounges.

Bizarre timing, just as I finish reading Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons, the real world mirrors the beginning of the book that starts off with reports of the Pope dying. Lets hope thats all that happens. I get a chill when i think back to what happened 4 days after I watched the pilot episode […]

Watched the movie Hero last night. What an excellent film. Took a few moments to get past the fact that the english was dubbed over the original Mandarin soundtrack, but wow what visual imagery.
