Thanksgiving Trip to Vancouver BC

Great lessons learned from short 1 night trip to Vancity ...

* Realization of my dependency on mobile data service: Not having data service (or fearful of crazy data roaming charges) on Canadian territory made me feel like a stone-age people...
* Always avoid I-5 Peach Arch borders: This time WA-539 from Bellingham worked perfect both in and out
* Richmond, BC is China... :)

Downtown San Jose

Interesting... frankly speaking, even though I say I lived in the Valley for 3 months and had several visits even after that, this is the first time being in downtown San Jose...:)

Marriott Hotel was awesome - had nice welcoming toys for kids and clean and modern.. Nice gym, even washing machines...

Kind of feeling good and sad.. good is marinhead got a new lift. some parking spots with benches to have innovation, but at the same time, this is not a hidden jewel any more... :)

California!

California feels like a different country...one thing I can never understand on California is an  "immigration" booth at the state border and asking where we were from and asking whether we had any fruits... :)
