Log:
California… it sure looks a lot like Costa Rica, with the huge Spanish population, Mexican architecture, and warm weather. Flying here was fine, it was the part of my trip that had no itinerary that was frustrating. When few airport employees speak English well, the information desk is empty, and you need a hotel for the night things aren’t looking good. With a little perseverance I did get to a safe hotel, affordably priced for this town. In spite of our early arrival at “Airport Rd” on the wrong side of Columbus only to find out there were multiple Columbus airports and we weren’t near any of them, the day has straightened itself out. Pangs of panic and adrenaline kept me chugging today, and now that it’s afternoon and I’m comfy in a San Francisco hotel, I can finally get some sleep.

Questions:
-How can I make this San Francisco stay easier on my way home?
-What will the place I stay in Arcata be like?
-If I were repeating today, what would I change?
*I would have gotten directions that actually went to the airport I was looking for!
-Who could I contact the next time I’m in San Francisco to stay with?

Feelings:
Traveling alone is a bit of a roller coaster, there are comfortable times and frightened ones.
