ok, day one is in the books. are at least nearly in the books as technically i am still at the client site. today went a little differently than i expected as apparently we weren't due to show up until noon. this allowed time for ben and myself to head down to newport beach to train the 3 techs assisting us with the project. it was about a 45 minute trip, one way, with a considerable amount of traffic. i realized it is much easier to travel around in pairs, i drove and ben was the navigator. driving around, especially at night, while trying to read a map is not ideal. took a couple of pics of the hotel this morning..that's about as far as i've gotten with the digital documentation. not sure what else is going on tonight so this might be my only update til tomorrow. we'll be able to start much earlier tomorrow so hopefully we'll have site one wrapped up by noon? i've officially concluded that the idea of travelling is much more glamorous than actually travelling itself. more later...
