As soon as I go into my office (donwstairs) this morning I need to book my accomadation at the conference in the USA. Being slack I have not worked out how long I will be staying where… I am thinking about 2.5 or 3.5 days in Anaheim before grabbing a taxi to the conference. After that I am not sure how I will get back from the hotel to LAX… I will see if I can get a lift with someone at the conference. Otherwise I will take the train…

Yes, you heard it here. California has trains. I have used them before. They are not bad – actually it is Amtrak from Anaheim to LA and then the MTA from there to the airport. Going to LAX by train certainly is an interesting experience. Getting a lift would be a better way. With all the locals I am sure that someone will offer a lift to an out of towner….

For this trip I definitely want to spend a night in Auckland to visit a friend… And to break up the trip going over there…

I had a strange dream last night about Disneyland… And how I was being shown around the place by an employee… That would be so cool I think… Right now i had better grab some breakfast…
