6/20 Saturday

Summer is made for road trips. 🙂

I planned this Cali/Oregon roadtrip and dragged Karan along with me. Haha

We reached Oakland Airport (California) at around 10pm. The rental car shuttle took forever to arrive, so when we finally reached our hotel, it was already midnight.

It was a pretty chilly night at around 50’s. Nothing like the hot and steamy weather in Iowa! I did pack a light jacket with me, so it was allll good. Good trip preparation is the key! Karan ignored my friendly advice of packing a jacket with him, so no pity when I saw him shivering … muahahahaha. Served him right, macho man.

Another travel tip: Plan ahead and book your accommodation in advance. I got this 4-star hotel with average daily rate of $130, at $40 on Priceline!  Valet parking would have costed us $20, but lucky us got free Sunday parking across the street. Hmm… How many bowls of noodles can I buy with this saved money?

Our hotel is located in the middle of Chinatown. There were a few restaurants still open after midnight. Someone please teach me how to resist a bowl of wonton and some fried noodles before going to bed.

 
Simple food, huge satisfaction!

Tomorrow we’ll be driving up North to Sebastopol.

Good night!
