I just went down for breakfast and there was a group of about 50 well dressed LatinX men and women. Something told me they weren't here for Aftershock. There was an older white guy who looks like he could be one of the crew members for a band so I asked him and he told me they were here for some business meeting. Makes so much more sense. Maybe they are planning to protest the concert. That would be hilarious since they were all nice and smiling towards me in the elevator. Imagine running into them later today and they have Jesus signs. Cracking up.

So yesterday was uneventful but long. I got to the airport at 5:30 just in case my flight was back to its original time (it wasn't) or there was an earlier flight (nope). So I ended up sitting in the lounge until 10:30. Headed to my gate and boarded at 11. Now I don't mind small planes, but this was a wind-up one and those make me nervous. Haven't had to fly on one of them since Canada in 2004. All the nightmares came back. Luckily I was in 1A and in the event of a crash I would be in the front part which statistically is more likely to not break apart. Ah, the morose things a traveler ponders.

Got to Sacramento around 1:15. Multiple shuttles later, got to my car. Hit the hotel at 2. My room was ready. And so was the kid's. Huh? Yeah, funny story. I had reserved one King room. But then I submitted an upgrade for a 2 room suite. Well I guess they were out of those and instead they gave me two actual rooms. We are on different floors right under each other (I'm on 4, she's on 3) but we each get our own room and our own privacy. Trust me, not complaining about that at all. The rooms are what they are and I am glad we have our own as they're pretty standard. Not like the suite I had last week in L.A.

The kid arrived around 6:30 and we went to old town for dinner. Went to Joe's crab shack. Haven't been there in forever. We had a good dinner, albeit loud since it was a Friday night downtown. After dinner we hit the big candy store down there. That was fun. Got back to the hotel around 9:30. I went to bed around 11 and woke up at 5:30. So excited to wake up at 5:30. Living the life.

Today we are heading out around 10 and won't be back until 10. It is now time to rock and or possibly roll. Woo.
