Worldcon 76 Day 5+2: Halfway Home
Aug. 22nd, 2018 09:49 pmThis morning we slept in a bit, then started loading out of the hotel. Once again the hotel let me borrow a cart. Although it took only one cart load to move in, but somehow two to move out.
( Minivan as TARDIS )
We returned the cart, checked out of the hotel ($1400) and paid for the parking ($160), and then we left Worldcon 76 behind.
We had a couple of errands to run, stopping at Westfield Valley Fair and then HSC Electronic Supply -- the latter being more urgent as the current owners are suggesting that if they can't find someone to buy them out, they'll have to close.
( There is Sometimes a Free Lunch )
I mentioned that we didn't rush. Maybe we should have done so. It was 3 PM by the time we got going, and the afternoon commute was well under way. That means it took a huge amount of time to grind our way out of the Bay Area. Including a single stop at Lodi Junction for gas, we did not get to Yuba City until nearly 8 PM.
We'll be here in Yuba City tonight. The Econolodge Yuba City is a bit of a letdown from the Hilton San Jose, but it costs a whole lot less. The challenge for me is to try and get the two legal and banking errands I have here done early tomorrow before we check out and head home. It's only 150 miles to home, and I'm ready to go home.
