san francisco for a week

Hi there. So I've created this blog to sort of track my travels this summer and have some kind of record of it all. It's the first summer I haven't actually worked in a long time, and I'm really excited. I'll get to see some new parts of the world, hang with friends & family and just breathe for a bit. After all that's happened this year, I think it's just what the doctor ordered.

I arrived in San Francisco yesterday afternoon after an amazingly quick and easy flight (love Virgin America). Jenn and the girls (my nieces, Hazel & Oona) picked me up from the airport. So so great to see them. I'll be here for about a week, and then I'll leave for Singapore on July 9th.

They're having a 4th of July party this Friday, so that should be fun. I think there are something like 82 people coming. Other than that we're just gonna be mellow I think, but it's good. Maybe I can implement a little decrescendo of my New York crazed, frantic self by the time I leave for Singapore.    

So for now I'm just hanging with my sis & her fam, reading some books, and um wearing lots of layers...in July. Gotta love San Francisco. But it's okay, cuz when the sun actually comes out it's pretty breathtaking. Also they make great coffee.
