I’m finally in California!  I’ve been waiting for this since I was a kid!  I need to finish getting ready so I’ll keep it quick, but I wanted to check in. 

My flights went well, things were nice and uneventful.  Because of the challenge (I’m not gonna lie, I love airport food, it is totally worth the money to me usually) I tried to pack all of my own snacks for this travel day.  I’m not quite sure how things will work on my return flights, but I do have some bars stashed in my suitcase.

I ate breakfast before I got on my first flight, a crumpet(!) topped with Crofter’s Superfruit Spread and an egg.

I cooked the egg in the microwave – small bowl, crack, stir, salt & pepper, 45second nuke – and it worked out very well.  I was worried about how well this would keep as ‘leftovers’ but it was pretty tasty.  I’ll be doing the micro method more often.

I ate a sandwich on my second flight.  For my sandwich I packed 3slices of turkey on 2slices of bread, with a packet of horsey sauce from Arby’s to squeeze on in flight.

My long flight (5+hours) went well.  I watched “Why I Wore Lipstick to My Masectemy” on my laptop and bought a “Real Simple” and “Bon Appetit” that kept me very occupied.

Camile and I met up in the airport and headed to our hotel via the BART.  We are sharing a room and the receptionist was totally sweet and upgraded us to a king bed.

I think the room is gorgeous, it is tiny, but well decorated.  Plus the front desk has awesome candy.

As soon as our bags were dropped off we headed out to explore the area around our hotel – Market Street.  I munched on an apple from home to hold me over.

Now we are finishing getting ready for the first Foodbuzz event, a cocktail party!  I am so excited to meet all the bloggers!  I’ll be back with a recap this evening.

What eats do you pack for travel?
