I got out of bed around 5 am and reached LAX around 6.10 am. Check-in, like yesterday, was pretty smooth and straight forward. I didn’t realize, until I got into the plane, that I had been given first class ticket I was treated royally all through the flight and I also took some nice [...]

I woke up around 5.30 am and packed up all my stuff - fortunately I did not miss any exits and I was in National Car return by 9 am. Filing a damage report and returning the car did not take as long as I had imagined. I reached LAX via National Shuttle by 9.40 [...]

I got up around 5.30 am and after leaving Dr. Yap, Dr. Ranjit (from Wilshire Grand) and Dr. Jena (from Ramada Inn) in the airport around 6.45 am, I came back and drove to Malibu - driving along Pacific Coast Highway was a memorable experience and so was the time I spent in one of [...]

Like almost every day in this week, I got up early and was in LACC by 7.45 am. I updated my diary while waiting for Dr. Ranjit’s call. He did call around 8.15 am - I walked back to Quality Inn, picked Dr. Ranjit and Dr. Senapati from Wilshire Grand and drove them to Beverly [...]

I got up around 5.30 am and went to Wilshire Grand to pick up Dr. P at 7 am - I met Venkat (and his friends) in Quality Inn, while having breakfast. We all walked upto LACC and I met Anil - after discussing usual things with him for a while, we went to attend [...]

I got up around 5.30 am, went to Wilshire Grand to pick Haiying up and brought her back to Quality Inn. I then dropped both of them, along with two other Indonesians, at the convention center and drove back to hotel. It turned out to be a good thing that I went to check the [...]

The day got off to a good start and I fixed the problem associated with xmms in my notebook. I had some good food and cleaned up the room, as Dave had informed that someone was coming over to take a look at the room. I then went to school to get Dr. P’s travel [...]
