Day 1 - August 2006 Vacation

I don't know what kind of Internet access I'm going to have on this vacation but since we're going to be in relatively civilized country, I thought I'd at least try to blog every day something about the vacation.

We actually got a jump on our vacation by a day since Carolyn had an assignment in Bakersfield. She's conducting an educational session for some of her providers - something to do with the finer points of the law and its interpretation by the state for child care providers. Because she has this today, we would either have gotten a late start tomorrow heading to Southern California or an early start today. By getting to Bakersfield, we'll have half the distance to travel tomorrow and, hopefully, travel through Los Angeles in the middle of the day rather than the middle of rush hour traffic.

We're staying in the beautiful (and apparently fairly new) Homewood Suites in Bakersfield, a hotel that caters primarily to business people during the week with free breakfasts and light dinners. Tonight, they'll be serving BYO (build your own) tacos and trimmings. Yum. I can hardly wait.

Stay tuned.
