First of all, there was the road trip, of course. Josphine was my co-pilot this time around which was a mixed blessing. She was mostly well behaved - until she saw the dinosaurs at Cabazon, CA.
We could have driven straight to Fresno, but as I was a day ahead of my reservations I ended up stopping at a Motel 6 in Tulare. The next day, Josie was very ready to hit the road again!
It should be noted that despite driving around and scoping out the route to hotel/airport/etc... I still managed to get lost in Fresno...sigh.... K2 will probably never get in a car with me driving again.
