Trip On Friday May 11th, 2012
for 3 days
We drove to Santa Barbara Friday night and came back Sunday morning. Unfortunately it was too overcast to go to the beach, but there were model trains at the train station, a play ground across the road, an hours long power outage and all kinds of exciting things happening. Sunday we got back in time to play Ultimate in Fullerton. All in all a successful trip.

17 min, at least that's faster than walking and much less hot.
In a victory of vanity over reason, I ran 3.5 m on a treadmill this morning.
Also, things I've learned today:
1. A single 3.5 m run does not make my pants fit any better (this is a little disappointing)
2. The two ophthalmology residents I tried to talk to yesterday while waiting for the bus are still just as snooty this is morning in the gym.
3. Do not set reminders on you phone for sessions before 10 am. It's great to be reminded of interesting presentations, but if you are still in your hotel room the buzzer just reminds you of all the stuff you're missing.
4. Here I was going to write something about how the shuttle isn't any better today, but shockingly it was waiting outside when I went to the stop and left in less than 5 min, hardly leaving me enough time to write down all these life changing observations.
Whew, and I haven't even gotten to the conference center yet.
Crowne Plaza Hotel at 9:12am EDT in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
I feel ridiculously exhilarated, because I just snuck by the bus police so I don't have to wait for the next one in the heat. They've decided to set up tables in the area the bus usually stops in, just to make sure things don't go too smoothly.
Walked back to the hotel earlier, but it's really too hot, so took the shuttle again. Took 30 min for less than 1.5 m. I'm thinking taxi next time.
