California Dreamin
Last Wednesday I flew out to San Francisco California for a job interview. We lifted off from Hartsfield-Jackson a bit later than scheduled, and the plane arrived at San Francisco International at around 9:00pm Pacific time. Since I was used to Georgia time and slightly nocturnal--less than I used to be--I was able to get to the rental car center and drive to my hotel relatively easily.
The green arrow is my hotel =)
I wish I had a camera when I was flying over San Francisco. This was only the second time that I had ever flown (I was a bit nervous on takeoff) and it was a wonderful experience. The city looks really amazing at night from 30,000 feet.
I spent most of the day on Thursday interviewing, and most of the night running or driving around California. Around 7:00pm I decided to go running, and trekked over to Stanford University for a looksee. After my run I drove back into San Francisco and switched into tourist mode. I cruised around the city for a while, and drove over the Golden Gate bridge. It was around 11:00pm when I had finished my rounds of this vast new city, so I drove back to my hotel for a good nights sleep before my flight.
I woke up the next morning at 8:00am (12:00pm Eastern time) and gathered my stuff together. I drove back to the airport, and while I was on the terminal train I received a phone call from the company that I was interviewing with. They gave me an offer!
California was a wonderful experience (again), and I think that everyone should go there at least once in their lifetime. I know I will be going back as much as I can =). The weather was a perfect 72 degrees with a slight breeze--despite being slightly overcast . No complaints here.
