Lynn and I went to Calgary, Alberta, in Canada. It was my third trip to Canada, and her first.
 1114-01 high-res imageParking at Orange County Airport's long-term Main Street lot costs $12/day. (Compare to $10/day at LAX and $6/day at ONT.) I took this picture so I'd remember where I parked the car. (If you're familiar with the car I usually drive, you can probably spot it in this photo.) (Thursday 08-Aug-2002 14:20) |

 1114-03 high-res imagePicture snapped at Orange County John Wayne Airport, a random shot to show that it's a working camera. (Thursday 08-Aug-2002 14:41) |
 1114-04 high-res imageAt San Franciso, we had to trudge from the United terminal to the Air Canada terminal, and it's a long hike past out-of-service ticket counters and whatnot. This sign is a very simple and effective sign, serving primarily (in my opinion) to reassure passengers that they're trudging in the right direction. (Thursday 08-Aug-2002 18:00) |

Here's three ways of presenting the same information. I like the style they used (the first graphic). The other two versions represent other approaches I've seen proposed, including Filthy Pierre's 1984 con-running guide. (An aside: if this were a hotel, any "airlines" between the sign and the lobby, or the elevator, would not be listed...) (Thursday 08-Aug-2002)

 1114-09 high-res imageWe wandered around the lobby for a little while, mostly looking for fannish-looking people. We didn't find any. This is the hotel bar, whose claim to fame is that the "Caeser" cocktail was invented here. (Thursday 08-Aug-2002 00:21) |

The hotel's coffee shop, set up for a breakfast buffet. We weren't able to find a sign showing us when it opened or what it costs, though. (Thursday 08-Aug-2002 00:22)
