When you try it again, go really slow (ignore the idiots hooking at you) and you might see the turn off, on your right. The road to the GG Bridge is old and IIRC the road to the center is hidden and the entryway is small.

You still have a few hours of daylight left to find it before the fog starts rolling in. Good luck.

I've heard from a few other FT-related people who remember me and noticed the picture, including one who tagged me as "that guy who carried wine in his pocket, right?"

The Club Acela lounges have no booze. I'm a bit disappointed that I'm here with a half hour to spare and nothing to drink. I could go out into the station and buy booze but then I'd lose my ability to pre-board and order more booze more quickly. I lead a tough life, it seems.

LOL

Of course I have the MLK DO shortly thereafter!

The traffic is horrible in that area with everyone heading to Marin and Santa Rosa. You could make a nice day trip to the GG Bridge, then go to Sausilito to have a look at the town and the nice view of SF from there. Then continue up North 101 to the coast to Bodega Bay. That's where they filmed the movie The Birds. You could also cut across from the other side and head to Napa and come home via Vallejo and the Bay Bridge.

The Jelly Belly factory is near Vallejo or Fairfield.

I have some in my suitcase you'd be adding to the list:
skunk
rotten egg
baby wipes


:td:

I was given one rotten egg flavor when I was driving it was so revolting I almost wrecked the car trying to spit it out the window. They told me it was licorice or something...

Blech!! My coworker had a bunch of gross themed jelly bellies on his desk - one of the flavors was vomit.

whoohoo. My travel drought may be over. Going to nyc to see the family. Now I just have to find a cheap, crazy routing.

It seems that my aura has gained weight since I last saw it an hour ago.

I also have apparently appeased the Acela attendants to some strange level. I just asked for another V&T (my 5th, I think) and the other woman working the F cabin suggested that they just "make it a double" in hope that I won't bother them again for the last 40 minutes of the trip. I could take that badly but I think I'll take it as respect for my vodka skills.

Yeah, skills.

He really was brilliant in many, many ways. Not so much anymore (he rarely speaks in public) but whatever.

Soundtrack for the train ride was mostly Van Halen, with a bit of "More for Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion" thrown it to fully represent the 80s. Ahhhhh...
