I've been looking over my vacation and holiday schedule for this coming year a bit, and discovered that Qualcomm will be giving us July 5th as the holiday. Within my current budget for days off, I cannot really afford to take more than one of the earlier days in July off to head to Westercon. So, no mater what, I'll probably miss most of Thursday there.

On the other hand, I'd like to give robot_grrl the option of having that day. So, I have done some poking at schedules (at least as they sit today), and inquired with Google, and have come up with an idea of how we can do this -- provided that Tara is willing to do the drive to Pasadena herself. (Derrick will probably be in Illinois with his grandparents and won't make the con).

This year our vacation took us to Albuquerque for a visit with the family then to Anaheim California and the surrounding area to visit some theme parks and attend LA Con IV, the 64th World Science Fiction Convention. This is my trip report. Unlike the last couple of years, I didn't do any work on the report while on the trip so this is from memory, almost a week after returning.
