Nothing is like packing up the car and driving an hour or so to get to a CCAR convention.

No airports, no complex packing necessary, just throw stuff in the car and go. The anticipation of seeing friends, recharging the battery, and enjoying the beauty and culture of San Francisco is great. Living in San Jose and often coming into San Francisco for a life cycle event or meeting is very different than being able to just be in this diamond of a west coast city. I am always excited to enjoy the city in which our convention dwells. When else can one enjoy such great cities like Jerusalem, Atlanta, Toronto, Chicago, Boston and now San Francisco! Tonight my wife and I enjoyed a taste of the night life here in San Francisco as we saw a show and had a nosh. I am looking forward to blogging about the convention and sharing some thoughts and perspectives.
