Also sorry I vanished before you got back. I went to spend time with dad and whatnot before I leave... But he seems more interested in his caravan

Maybe he's planning a runner

Your going to have the best time

It's always very exciting waiting to get on the plane. Hope you have plenty to keep you busy while on board and some nibbles

I wonder if I will be able to find MRI and Pleakley at the airport?

Did someone say it was going to rain? I think it might be easier to take a canoe than drive to airport.

kat · « **Reply #81 on:** November 29, 2012, 11:38:40 PM »

Sounds like it is going to be quite an adventure

However you get there I'm sure it will be heaps of fun once you all find each other.

That is so funny Fancy, I can tell you are so excited cause you said, " I hope I can find MRI and Pleakley at the airport". You won't find too many MRI's at the airport, but mayby the hospital....

, but I am sure you will spot IMR and Pleakley since they will stand out being all pink.............I can send you a canoe if need be, but I think there will be a short break, but not for too long.. Happy Airport hunting, Be sure to let us know that she got there safely and you found her... RWM

Hehe, all fears were unfounded, we found each other with no trouble and are safe at the hotel enjoying the view

Congrats! Here's a little something to celebrate

Now get a good nights rest and the fun begins tomorrow!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #85 on:** December 01, 2012, 09:50:45 AM »

Oh did I ever sleep! 32 hours of very little sleep does that to a person I guess. But feeling well rested and ready to tackle the day! We are headed for the Marin Country Headlands today.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #86 on:** December 01, 2012, 10:39:12 AM »

Congrats in a safe arrival, what are you looking at in Marin county, unfamiliar with that neck of the woods, will have to google it I guess. Have a great day and good rest.

Crewella · « **Reply #88 on:** December 01, 2012, 04:22:54 PM »

Oh yesssss indeedy ....... I spotted that too!

Glad ypu got there safe, IMR - happy exploring!

For those of you that know SFO, you know it is one huge airport. What you need to remember is the floor you parked on because they all look the same!, ENORMOUS!

Only took two tries!

That was IMR's first experience upon arrival, lost car!

Once we got to hotel and relaxed for a few minutes, Pleakley and Dinah Jo were introduced to each other. I must say that The two were, definitely, not Love Birds! All Dinah Jo did was moan and groan. Pleakley was in a, fairly, chipper mood after a VERY long flight. He was, a bit, hungry. but Reina, my little dog, kept taking Pleakley's food away from him.

What is Reina's is Reina's and what is pleos' is Reina's!

As tired as IMR was last night, I talked her into seeing Union Square. Had a little break from rain. The square gets decorated, so beautifully, at Christmas time The ice skaters were out by the dozens. It will get more crowded in the next couple of weeks. IMR might give it a go next week when I return, which reminds me to stick skates in car. Just might fit her. I will have to sit on the sidelines!

Reina is very low to the ground. She looks legless when her hair reaches the floor. When we got back to hotel, she looked like a wet mop. I tried to find the electrical outlets for hair dryer. They were very well concealed! IMR, finally, found a couple.. By that time, Reina was drying by herself.
Pleakley, Dinah Jo, Reina, IMR and I fell asleep, shortly after that, to a beautiful view out our ceiling to floor window.

What a great story Fancy, I can almost picture it all in my mind. NOw tell me, where does Reina sleep, is it with Pleos or her mama..

Poor puppy must have been a sight. I hope you guys got lots of nice video or photos. I used to love to iceskate when I was about three , it was actually easier then roller skating. Is it because of your neck, back that you are sidelining yourself? I would love to see photos of you or IMR on skates, that is priceless. HOpe you have a safe warm trip back to your neck of the woods, Glad you found your car, and yes I know all about those crazy garages near and at SFO . I have been at both the Hilton and Mariott, and know how huge they are and the parking is crazy to say the least, Thanks for sharing fancy.

I was very tired last night and didnt post very much, the flight was just fine, had a short delay at LA airport while the weather cleared but only just on two hours. The Qantas A380 was very comfortable to travel on and the service was excellent! I was greeted at the hotel with chocolates on arrival... a whole bag full! From 49er and Mrs 49er, ooh and Shar pei socks! Not to mention some sweet treats from Fancyfont including a cook book and even more delicious chocolates

as well as the softest, cuddliest dressing gown ever

In pink to match my luggage

I certainly shant be cold or hungry while they are all taking care of me

Well, what a day we had! Fancyfont was kind enough to drive us out to Marin where we said our goodbyes as she headed home. 49er and Mrs 49er and myself then headed on a tour of the Marin Marine Mammal center which was oh so interesting! (Have you ever heard an elephant seal?) We got to see several animals in for care and learn about the fabulous service they provide for injured animals. Then we had a walk down by the beach, the birds were all out to greet me and we saw eleven(?) species, some of the geological points of interest and some of the native plants (some good enough to eat

). Then we headed into the city on the bus seeing the sights before heading to Mel's Diner for dinner. My first American diner experience

And first time eating buffalo wings!

And speaking of firsts, Fancyfont bought my first apple pie to try with her, yummy!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #92 on:** December 01, 2012, 09:50:12 PM »

Sounds like a great first day and with excellent hosts and guides, you can't go wrong! Be prepared to surprise your family and friends with the cookbook Linda gave you, some tasty new treats..

I have heard Elephant seals before, but never up close, they are pretty impressive just with size! Glad you enjoyed all the birds too. CA has not all the exotic birds like Australia does, but a wide variety of more common birds and seashore birds along with lots of raptors.

I am glad you have so many chocolates , that will keep your serotion level at an even pace and the gown, in pink sounds wonderful, lucky girl! Can't wait to see what day two brings you! What are the Shar Pei socks, do they have pictures of Shar peis on them like AJ? How thoughtful! Be sure to take photos.

( only 24 more days to go!) RWM

I am glad you are having such a wonderful time!

...what is a buffalo wing? Last time I checked Buffalo did not have wings $:-\$

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #95 on:** December 02, 2012, 12:02:57 AM »

That's because they are really small, you can't see them

(They are chicken wings, deep fried then dipped in sauce)

You're on holiday! Stop posting here and have an amazing time! You can tell us all about it when you get back!

fancyfont · « **Reply #97 on:** December 02, 2012, 10:31:29 AM »

Degers, after a busy day, what else is there to do at night, especially, on a very rainy one at that, but to come here with her friend and share her holiday moments with everyone.

degers · « **Reply #98 on:** December 02, 2012, 11:21:44 AM »

Hehe, I know, we all love seeing the pictures! Take care of her for us fancyfont!

Talon · « **Reply #99 on:** December 02, 2012, 12:22:12 PM »

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time, IMR! You're brave to try buffalo wings. I'm not a really big fan of spicy food. I hope you and your pleo enjoy your visit with us.
