Things were looking much better this day, with good weather, and a more sizable plane.  We flew to Salt Lake City, then finally made it to Long Beach.  This city is the third largest in California, so we were surprised at a rather small airport with outside accessibility to the planes, and I don’t think there was any shopping or food at the airport.

We easily caught a cab and finally arrived at the hotel.

The Westin Hotel is very nice, and we had a mini view of the bay, and beautiful flowers and palm trees surrounding the area.

We were exhausted, but I wanted to get my conference registration completed, so I hiked the four blocks to the convention center, and then the miles through the vender hall.  Wow, all kinds of looms I had never seen before, and beautiful yarns that I would love to have had, but didn’t have room in my suitcase so had to for go.

We had a nice dinner, reassembled the loom that I brought with me, got everything unpacked and put away, and we were ready to face the next day.
