Ok guys, two in one blog posting - after 24 hours of travelling - yes I said 24 - the team arrived in Medford to a fantastic welcome by the host district. They made us a banner and all!
Of course we were so tired that I think I was speaking to them in Vulcan - but they seemed to understand us ;-). Liesl was the only casualty with a lost bag from LAX, but with some deft cellphone photography of luggage tags (you had to be there), promises of the bags arrival were made and we were off for another 2 hours drive to California with Vonderful Vinnie and the big Van.
Greta, my host put me in a wonderful bed, I slept like a log for four hours (damn time difference), had a great breakfast and a gorgeous walk for an hour. The weather is perfect, Greta is a doll, and I'm back off to bed for a nap.
What about Chefette rotis and the wildlife? Well my advice to anyone flying across 3 time zones and not fussed about airplane food? Buy a Chefette roti and pizza before you go. And by the way, I'm now in Bear and Mountain lion country - now to find a tiger.
And I got to wear my hosts Bob and Vinnie's clothes for two days...get my bag back plus hopefully get some miles for you to use! So all in all nothing I couldn't handle hahaha!
