The flights to San Fran went very well. After landing we picked up our car and drove into San Francisco. We got turned around a few times due to one-way roads and no left turns, it was a bit like when the forest forced the hobbits further and further off course, only less spooky and more enraging.
We finally got to our Hotel and it did look charming. However upon checking in we were met with the rude in of "all rooms full" and they didn't have any record of our reservation; I was exceptionally frustrated. As if to counterbalance my frustration Amon did a marvelous job keeping her cool. Fortunately they were able set us up in another hotel just a few blocks away.
The new hotel, the Mayflowe was very nice. The room was essentially a 1 bedroom apartment complete with walk-in closet. it was the first time on the trip I wished we had brought MORE luggage! It was decorated nice, was very clean and had a nice view of the skyline.
The best part of the stop was meeting up with Matt and Kate. It was so nice to see them again and really cool that our vacations could overlap. We ended up walking around a section of Chinatown and being treated to a delicious meal at Empress China. According to the photo wall on the first floor we were the latest in a long line diners including Sidney Poitier, Eric Estrada, Chuck Norris, "International Action Star" Jackie Chan, and too many other illustrious faces to list here! The food was was very good, but not as great as the company (thanks Matt and Kate!)
The photo below is the fogged in view from our window this morning.
More to come,
Mike and Amon
Here's our photo recap of TX2K12 (GT-R/Supra Nationals). It was an awesome event as usual, and this year brought the biggest turnout in the event's short history.
We took first place in the Unlimited and Modified GT-R class for the second time in a row! We got our fastest personal 1/4 mile time in a GT-R with a 9.53 in Kenny Tran's Stage 5 Jotech GT-R.
Special thanks to our event sponsors Black Magic Car Care, Rain X, Gumout, and HRE Performance Wheels!
