Cypress Hotel, Cupertino
Woooo Hoooooooo! The gang’s all here! When I arrived at the hotel (once again, my license was “declined” at the rental car agency. I showed them my brand new sparkling license and they said that it wasn’t in the system yet. Oh, I love bureaucracy! It just took more time.)
Here are a couple shots from my short two hour flight on Alaska airlines:
But oh, I am in heaven. No more rain, temperatures in the 70’s with a stiff breeze. The freeways aren’t crowded - at least not when I was driving in - I had the windows down, the wind blowing through my hair and I remember how much I LOVE California. Thanks to GoogleEarth, I have the exact directions to the hotel, including fractions of miles travelled, and I get here without any mishap. There is ample parking. The reception is cordial and efficient, and . . . there is a big plate of chocolate chip cookies waiting to greet the guests.
My room is a hoot. The only thing missing is . . . AdventureMan. Oh, AdventureMan, you would love this place.
At 5, there is wine in the lobby. This week, ironically, it is wines from Washington State, which are good, but I just came from there! As it turned out, the red wine I had was excellent. The gang gathered, laughing and exchanging family lore, welcoming the bride into our very geeky and kookie family.
Now I have to apologize. We all went out and ate barbeque. I was SO hungry, I forgot to take photos. My bad.
This is the view from my room at sunset:
Today, we are doing a tour of Google! Wooooo HOOOOOOO!

Those are the bathrobes, Purg! What fun, huh? Yes, it is one big CIA wedding, we all wear masks so no one will know who anyone is, and we all have to know the password, which changes hourly.
I had a girlfriend who did her PhD in Papua, New Guinea, Mrm. I can’t say it is a place I want to go. Now Zanzibar . . .
I miss my fuzzy little QC, 3baid!

the hotel looks great and the company even better! enjoy Google and the wedding (not necessarily in that order :D)!
Oh Little Diamond, we are all missing you so much. The family is gathering, all the different sides and factions and oh, what a hoot. We are missing you too much!
Talk about endangerd animals, did they give you any seal oil too?
Wow that throw on the bed looks so soft and warming!!!
No seal oil, Purg, but Occitaine supplies in the bathroom, which are very nice.
The throw is faux fur, Ansam, and it is warm!
Hmmnn,…. so which one in the photo is you ?
I am guessing the one on the far left is you. Am I right or am I rite? Or you are not even in the picture - you are the one taking the picture. Am I wrong or am I rong?
Hee Heee, I am the one taking the photo, you are right.
