Guess which pair of rascals are flying to SF tomorrow morning?
It’s the one year anniversary of the first … uh … rather memorable visit.
We are armed with Canon cameras, 16 gb of memory cards, and an incessant desire to lip dub Journey.
We wish to make friends with the natives.
We’ll be there until Sunday. If you see us on the streets, say hello. We’ll take a photo with you and use many superlatives to tell you how great you are. We’ll mean it.
We’re very nice!
See you on the flip coast.

Last year’s trip was an incredibly eye-opening experience. First off, JA was quite addicted (and still is) to lip dubs. She had us lip dub to ‘Journey’ in every place we traveled. Some of these hot spots included the Jet Blue Terminal, the plane, the car, the Bathroom at the BH Four Seasons Hotel, and a local bar after the TechCrunch party, the list goes on and on… Pity that we still haven’t edited the VERY raw footage of our first steps into a ‘lip dubbing lifestyle’. I may need to post a snippet to give you an idea of exactly what transpired. It used to embarrass me to be so public, but I think I’ve now accepted it as a way of life (well, my life at least).
Another life changing moment in SF was seeing the release of the first iPhone. It had just come out and it BLEW MY MIND. I couldn’t wrap my brain around the fact that there was now a mobile device that could pull up web pages similar to the ones on my computer screen. Virtually, everyone I met that weekend had an iPhone. I was determined to get one, but had NO idea how I’d pay for it…
Who knew that one of the most romantic gestures I’ve experienced in my life would happen that weekend? A guy friend of mine saw me drooling over the iPhone and bought one for me as a surprise. The funny thing is I completely missed the que (I’m awful at surprises) as he had hidden it in my parent’s kitchen. It’s one thing when a guy buys you flowers, it’s another thing when he gets you a gadget (and not just any gadget - THE Gadget of a lifetime- my beloved iPhone). I know that most people would probably not find this story romantic in the least, but for me it was a gesture I still hold close to my heart. Anyways, enough with the mushy stuff…
I’m more than ready for this year’s trip to SF; I miss my family and desperately need a break from this fast paced discombobulating NYC lifestyle. As cosmopolitan as I try to be, I’m still an SF girl at heart. All I want to do this trip is enjoy my family; a home cooked meal, a hike in the hills, and of course, reconnect with our SF gang.
Last year, JA and I had a feeling that the trip would change our lives. We never thought it would be to this magnitude. I can’t wait to see you SF, home has NEVER looked so inviting…
