AerJohn, please, please, please, please, please ride with BOAG. :rollin

And Honeylamb, we've got to talk about this tendency of yours to lapse into southern-isms when you prepare to come to the US. Ya'll? Shucks? You are a disgrace to those of us who look forward to your accent and expressions.

I arrive in SJC on Thursday at 10:48 a.m. on Delta. Please don't make any special arrangement for pick-up for me. I can easily take public transportation to the Hilton with only myself to look after, but if there are others and there is space, I would be grateful.

HL and I have talked about renting a car for the day at the hotel if needed. I don't want to rent a car for the entire time if it will remain parked at the hotel for most of the time. Even if we pay a premium (gasp, I know, I do not deserve to be a HTer) for the day, it will be worth it to me.

I leave SJC on Tuesday around 12 Noon.
