Dissapointments

As I sit here in my studio apartment, I reflect that this is my first post from the land of the brave and yada, yada ...
[I think I got something wrong there, but .... what the heck]

This was the memorial day weekend and I was stuck in Los Angeles. All my plans for going to San Francisco are now truely demolished. I had planned to go to Disneyland yesterday - I did go and I did not go. If you are wondering what that means then I will tell you 2 facts:
- I live in the Woodland Hills - San Fernando Valley area
- I don't have a car.

To those who still don't get it; you see, Disneyland is in Anaheim. And I consider this a social & moral responsibility to inform innocent travellers that this Anaheim is NOT the one you reach via metro in downtown LA. Rather, this Anaheim is in the neighbouring Orange county.
I came to know this, the hard way :(

After starting from my room at 10:00 am, I finally reached the elusive destination at exactly 3:33 p.m. God, if I had a car, I would have been nearing SFO by then !!!
Neways, I really hope somebody gave public transportation the attention that it needs, here in the US. Rest comes later.
