Be sure to wear a flower in your hair...

Tomorrow is the last class meeting of the semester, where I should find out my estimated final grade for Reference. Then S and I are going to crash at my cousin and his wife's apartment in St. Paul (Oh, the hospitality! Thanks, 'cuz!) and fly out to our vacation destination on Wednesday morning. Where are we headed? The mystery can now be revealed:

San Francisco!

We have very vague plans, but want to see a lot of the neighborhoods (Japantown, Russian Hill, Chinatown), Muir Woods for the redwoods, the park and the bridge, and eat lots of yummy food (noodles and sushi and Italian and Chinese and on and on...). We are going to Alcatraz on my birthday (Friday) and I don't know what else S has planned for that day. I'm sure it will be wonderful. I am very thankful to be going on a trip, to be recovering from my cold/bronchitis, to be getting older (yes!), and best of all, to have S as loving travel partner. I promise photos (as long as my camera doesn't break or get stolen) and stories when I return in about a week.

Until later, ciao!
