Trip to Ireland and France - Final day, Wednesday February 25th

Wednesday was our last day. We headed to Dublin airport, and caught the direct flight to San Francisco. It was a very smooth trip. The plane was an airbus, so we could select our own movies, which was great, so I watched four movies on the way back since I couldn't sleep, the best of which was probably W, just because Josh Brolin was so good as George W. Bush. We arrived in SFO on time, and then headed home. Dara, Zach and Aidan came over to see us, which was good because we missed them so much, and then I showered, and headed on Bart over to Oakland International airport for a business trip to LA. Another uneventful trip. The weather in LA was just so different to the weather in Ireland and France. I calculated that by the time I got to my hotel in LA, I had been awake for 23 hours. I think that might actually have helped me get over my jet lag! I spent Thursday in LA, flew back to Sacramento and then took Amtrak back to the bay area on Friday evening. Given that I used the bus and light rail to get from my condo to work on Friday, I believe I used every mode of mass transit in this timeframe!
