May 31st, 2008 at 7:30PM – Laura Wiggins and I arrived at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). I was comfortable and calm despite just leaving my family and traveling across country with little knowledge of what was going to happen next. This was my 10th time flying into SFO which isn\u2019t too shabby for a country boy. It was Laura\u2019s second time after she accompanied me to Macworld 2007 and had a blast.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve written a great deal about this move on this blog and my travel blog but I learned a few things since moving that I want to share. I\u2019ve composed five blog entries for the One Year in San Francisco (SF) series and these are written for travelers and tourists but the real value is for the young men and women who plan on moving here. I\u2019ve met over 50 people online that are planning or desperately want to make the move to SF and I don\u2019t blame them. In theses posts, you\u2019ll learn about my successes, failures and knowledge that most San Franciscans take for granted but never write about.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned because every day at noon (Pacific Time) I\u2019ll post an entry that you\u2019ll want to read again and again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 31st, 2008 at 7:30PM – Laura Wiggins and I arrived at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
