Finally being a good Californian
Well, this weekend I get to go see a part of California I'm ashamed to admit I still haven't seen: San Diego, which is only a couple hours from Los Angeles, so I really have no excuse.
All I have to do is drive myself there -- everything's being taken care of by my firm, since it's a business retreat and while technically optional, you're kind of supposed to go.
So, I'll finally see Southern California's other major city. Should be pretty cool.
I still need to visit San Francisco though -- like a bad, bad Californian, I've never been there. ::ducks::

I used to live in San Diego. Where is the retreat being held?
You really have to see San Francisco. It's about as different from L.A. as a city could be in the same state. And I'm not making a comparison. I love both. Apples and mangoes.
Have a great weekend!
P.S. If the retreat is at the Hotel Del on Coronado, be sure to watch for Marilyn's ghost.
OMG, GO TO SAN FRANCISCO.
SF, I miss you!!!
john-michael, I hope it was helpful! Unfortunately, I'm not much of an academic :/ The trip was great, though, thanks for the good wishes!
heart, you guessed the location -- gold star for you! ;) I didn't see any ghosts, but then the alcohol may have been interfering with my sensory perception at some point...
You're right, I desperately need to get to SF.
odderie, I intend to, sooner rather than later! I'll be sure to give you details when it happens :)
sixer, what's the best restaurant?
I have been to London, and I adore it. England is such a beautiful country -- the city of London is so rich and full of culture and history, it's amazing. Here in the states, the east coast (by far my less favorite coast) has most of what passes for "historical" here but not much of it goes back more than a couple hundred years. Sadly, we ransacked and pillaged most of the real history that preceded us, to make room for our own. But London has buildings that are a thousand years old... it's just mind-boggling to set foot on grounds where someone else walked a thousand years ago, and to actually know a little something about them. Just incredible.
The countryside is beautiful too -- I have a great-uncle who lives in Chorleywood and spent a weekend with him and my aunt the last time I visited England. The weather may be cold and wet and miserable, but it sure makes for some incredible natural beauty.
Hey Lawfairy. I recognize you from feministing.
Say, do you know a good attorney service down there (just for pulling files/making copies) that you can recommend? I'll return the favor if you need recs for the SF Bay area, where I am.
Thanks.
SD, California's other major city??!
i thought it was a suburb of LA!
annika from SF
sixer, I haven't been there -- I'll have to try it! I'm hoping to get up to Napa sometime in the next couple months, so I'll add it to my list of places to visit up there :) And I'll be sure to let you know next time I hop over the pond!
furious[t], I'm not quite sure if I know what you mean... if it's just pulling files/copying you'd need, wouldn't you just hire some kind of copy service? Or do you mean someone we use (my firm generally handles all copying internally, so unfortunately I don't know of any)? Sorry!
annika, only SoCal's other major city. No disparragement of the lovely and fab (from all accounts, anyway :)) SF, which I'll visit at least by May of next year, as I've promised a friend :)
Let's plan a trip to SF sometime. It's my favorite city in California - I think you would find it divine!
::pulls out calendar::
This is SO happening.
