Trip to the USA

So, I've been happily neglecting the blog for the past week since we've been visiting the States. But, I have a free moment, so I can write a quick summary of the trip so far:

1. Left Melbourne at 11:30am Friday, arrive SFO 10:30am Friday. Time zones make life interesting.
2. Laser tag with family = me pwning them and many children. Excellent.
3. Family party to see the relations. See pictures here.
   
4. Trip to SLO: see Eric and Kitty, hang with Thom, Don, Toni, reunite with the Woods crew and pet the new stock of kitties, watch Tropic Thunder again with Eric and friends.
5. Swing by Turlock to see Kane's dad and dad's family.
6. Kane flies up to Oregon to see mom; I hang back in the Bay.
7. Comedy show to see Bill Bellamy with Dad.
8. Cal vs. Stanford game with Mom and David followed by awesome vegetarian Chinese food dinner and Twilight the movie.
9. Breakfast with Grandpa.
10. 10 year Planet Lazer reunion at Laser Quest (yes, I still got first place, booya).

And that's the story up to this point. We leave this coming Saturday and are pretty busy until then. Two weeks seems like a lot, but turns out to be a pretty cramped schedule when your family and friends are all centrally located. It's been good to see everyone who we could see; everyone else will have to wait until next year =(.
