It was time for me to give hugs and kisses and it was tearful, especially Rebecca. But I will be back!
My flight was on time and I was resigned to just read the book I brought, even though I wasn't all that into it. Instead, after a few minutes I started a very fun conversation with the guy sitting next to me. We talked about everything it seemed. He was originally from a city near where I live but now he lives in Palm Springs with his wife. It was a nice way to pass the time on a flight. I love meeting new people!
Apparently, our conversation caught the attention of a man and he tried to pick me up as everyone walked to baggage claim. He was pretty persistent, even when I fibbed and said I had a boyfriend. He insisted that I put his number in my phone. Unbelievable! ;-)
Angie picked me up and dropped me off so that I could unpack and get ready for dancing! A group of us met at the Lighthouse on Pier Ave in Hermosa Beach.
Angie had convinced a few people to dress in '80s garb. Eric took the cake in his 1983 UCLA jogging suit. The wig and the 'stache where awesome!
Shelley and I ended up going outside to get some air and when we got back everyone had decided to go home. So Shelley and I went to the bar to get hard drinks--like gingerale and water, no ice. While we were there a guy named Chris started picking up on Shelley. My role was wingman...Chris had a cousin. The band came up and played their 3rd set of fun 80's music. Both Shelley and I danced for a few songs with these guys and then left.
I had a fun conversation with the head bouncer while I was waiting for Shelley and Chris (number exchange). He thought I had an accent! I think he heard some of the Boston accent come out (sometimes I saying things that sound Bostonian). :-)
Shelley and I decided to have a slice at Piasano's, which is a short walk from Pier Ave. The pizza hit the spot!
