slycatSoo, I'm back in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hunterkitty's place in Pasadena which is looking significantly more bare due to the fact he is in the process of moving out and has shifted some tables and things since I last visited. Anyway this morning, Avon went off early to grab breakfast so I did the LJ thing before showering and packing and hanging with some furs near the fire in the lobby before arakinuk arrived to collect me. Was sad to see the back of the Doubletree but not overwhelmingly so; I think Monday helped me see off any post con depression. perlandria and Arakin took me to Flames where they got the gigantic birthday cake previously. Had a Fajita omlette which was very tasty. Also had a side order of French Toast which I couldn't finish from being full to bursting point.
After food, we drove literally next door to the Winchester Mystery House, something which I didn't really know anything about before visiting. It's basically a tour of a rather large house built by the wife of the owner of the Winchester rifle company which was built rooms at a time, and with rather unusual architecture which makes little sense including stairs which lead nowhere, windows and doors into nothing and unfinished or earthquake damaged rooms. To be honest, it wasn't as interesting as I hoped, but it was a pleasant distraction.
After the long walking tours of the house, we went to BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse where we indulged in a ham and pineapple calzone and gallons of house brewed root beer (num!). Tried to eat dessert (something called a Pizookie but is just a fresh baked cookie with ice cream) but couldn't finish it on account of being stuffed. Perlandria wasn't feeling too well so she was taken home by her friend so Arakin could take me to San Jose Airport.
Again, it was a fairly pleasant journey back to Burbank with Southwest Airlines. There were only about 40 of us on the Boeing 737 flight so everyone pretty much got a row to themselves. The seats also gave plenty of legroom, much moreso than the transatlantic flights in economy/coach class with Virgin/AA. Arrived at Burbank and made my way to the baggage claim to shortly be greeted by Hunter andkaysho. However, the carousel never seemed to display my flight, so Hunter went and asked at the desk, only to find that my bags were waiting on a cart nearby rather than on the carousel. I can only assume I was one of the few passengers who even had checked luggage.
Anyway, we drove back to Hunter's after that and I've been chilling out here since. Regrettably, I've been unable to secure anything to do tomorrow during the day so far so it could be a relatively dull day until we meet up withstego_s_aurus and Kat for dinner at an Olive Garden. Hunter may be able to get some time off work so we can do the other Disney park our tickets our still valid for but he says it's unlikely *fingers crossed*.
