Welcome to California!

Breakfast was simple and quick.  I was rushing around the house like a madwoman trying to repack my suitcase.  I packed as if it would be COLD in Fresno, but I think it’s going to be warm.  I had PB bagel and a banana:

Guess who I ran into this morning at the Orlando airport?  Jason (Megan’s boyfriend)!  He’s an engineer, too and supervises construction at the airport.  :)

We chatted for a bit, and then I excused myself to purchase a Pumpkin Spice Latte.  Mmm.  ‘Tis the season!

The first leg of my flight was to Dallas.  When I arrived for my layover, I was excited to see an Au Bon Pan at the gate.  I always get a Red Pepper Hummus sandwich when I travel.

Unfortunately, I don’t think the chef preparing my sandwich understood the hummus was my “meat.” He spread it on as thin as mustard!  So, I basically had onions and bread for lunch.  :)

 

I had a banana during my flight to Fresno.

When I got off my flight, I found my Tina! Yayyyyyyyyy!  Of course, she was actively blogging when I spotted her.  :)

At the hotel, we discovered a few of the other bloggers that are attending the POM Wonderful Tour:

Sorry to make this short and sweet, but I’m going to meet Tina in the hotel gym for a workout.  We scoped out the area, and we’re in a pretty commercial district.  No good running trails are nearby!  :(   But the gym looks decent.

 

Be back later with the blogger welcome dinner.  Three cheers for California!

    How fun to see everyone. At least the hotel has a decent gym if you can’t run outdoors.

    Hope you have fun in Cali mate :D

    By the way, I started the no fat talk about a week or so ago and am already feeling SO GOOD about myself. I blogged about it today.

    I want to say a really big thank you for leading me, and so many others, down the path to self acceptance and love. You are such an inspiration Caitlin, and I know that’s a cliche but it’s true.

    Thank you thank you thank you…

    my favorite way to explore a new city is just running through the streets, but it can be difficult in an area with lots of traffic lights.
    have fun!!!

    Thin hummus on vegetarian sandwiches is a HUGE pet peeve of mine! They always do that at Panera. Hummus is the protein, sandwich designers! Not the flavoring. ;)
