I stayed at the Oakland Airport Holiday Inn Express. It was a nice room, with a little sitting area and a microwave and refrigerator identified as a "Junior Suite." My hotel room was listed on the bill as a view room. Well, if you tilted your chin up you got a lovely view of the Oakland hills. But, if you looked straight ahead you got a great view of the parking lot and storage area of the Oakland Airplane Parts Company.

I also had a great car, thanks to FMC North America, for all my adventures. A Chevrolet Malibu LSE. It had all sorts of electric gizmos – windows, doors, trunk, seats, mirrors, lights, etc. Also had a CD player, so I had to have a CD for it and bought this great CD at, where else, but Scotland Gifts called "Music Glasgow and Mackintosh" that I played all week long every time and everywhere I was driving.
