Lee - when are you coming into Oakland - I live closeby and am much more friendly than the bus drivers!

Thanks for the info, all.

Sorry for the vague posts. Nilly and Sean and I are all driving up with ND, but since ND has to leave earlier than we want to, we are flying home. Thus, it is only getting to the airport on Sunday that is an issue.

Deb, I will probably only get a manicure, so the spa chairs should stay yours.

And Sean, Emmett is over at his mom's tomorrow night and his room will be all sadly vacant, so if you still need a bed for Thursday night by the time you get up and read this this morning... well, here ya go.

Just adding my concurrence on this. You're welcome to Emmett's bed if you're here Thursday night. (It's a grown up sized bed.)

What time on Sunday, Lee? I'm taking Jess, Laura and Teppy to the airport on Sunday evening after the Wine Country run, around eight, but it's SFO.

I need to coordinate that part with Sean, Deb. I want to leave around 4:00. Luckily, there are plenty of flights to choose from, to both LAX and Burbank.

Lee, I'm happy to fly out whenever. 4:00 is fine, or whatever we get. And flying in to either airport is okay, too.

Lee - I don't know that I can help on Sunday - I think I will end up on the Russian River being a strong shoulder for a good friend. (Her mom just had a heart attack resulting in the need for a quad-by-pass and while in the hospital they discovered that mom also is in kidney failure and they have started her on dialysis. All this happened while they were at their cabin on the river, so my friend is staying up there while mom is in the hospital - so she is feeling very detatched from life. OK, more than you wanted to know - but there it is).

Anyway, as mentioned, the Oakland airport is VERY public transport accessable - BART and fly is the way to go.

eta - number slut - this is my phone extension at work. The extension of the devil.

Okay, this afternoon I will book us on the 4:10 flight to Burbank, and plan on taking BART to the airport, and then a cab home from there.

The beauty of all of these plans is they can all be changed, even the flight, since it is fully refundable.

And now, I am off to show Nilly Hollywood and then have lunch with Robin.

Also,

David, JZ.... Thank you very much for the offer for Thursday night, I will take you up on it.

Sparky, thanks for your offers, even though I no longer need them. And I know, I must be absolutely crazy to pass up an opportunity to sleep with in the same room as Jess, but this way, no one has to deal with the horrifying, window rattling snoring.

I'll still come over for Friday dinner though, provided that's still on.
