San Diego Here I Come

Woot! Earlier today I bought my plane ticket out to San Diego!!!!!!
My best friend works for the government and has to travel out to San Diego for a conference thingy and she, of course, needs company! So, I have to pay for my plane ticket and my food but I get to stay with her for free!!!!
I'm so thrilled. I'll be flying out of Baltimore on Wednesday, February 27th and returning Monday, March 3rd.
We're going to go to the San Diego Zoo! And hopefully their tiger fences are up to code...though I don't believe I'm going to try to taunt or slingshot shit at the animals. I have a little more respect for things that could eat me than that.
And she was originally born in California, Victorville I believe. So, she's going to take me to go see where she grew up, where she spent her childhood, etc. That really is awesome too. I've lived in the same house for all 26 years of my life - I can't imagine moving cross-country and starting over. But she's one tough cookie.
And, if time prevails, I will be *finally* meeting up with my California Boat Dealer! I do boat financing for small boat dealerships - that aren't large enough to have their own F&I person. So, they kinda outsource to us. But we've had this dealer in California that my boss and I have never met before - we do all our dealings over the phone, email, fax, and mostly FedEx - considering we're (my boss and I) are in Maryland. So, it would be neat to finally meet him face to face.
And I've never to California before. The farthest I've ever flown is to Idaho for a friend's wedding. I'm a little nervous - read: borderline panicing - about being on a plane for 5+ hours, but I guess I'll survive. Sara and I will just talk and talk and talk until we have nothing to talk about. We're good at that.
Woot! Woot! Woot! I'm so very excited.
So...is anyone else from the San Diego area?

I'm not sure whether I'm going to be able to go to the zoo, our plans aren't really looking so great for the zoo, but here's hoping.
I'm just excited about San Diego!
