Amazingly enough, Kate and I arrived in Anaheim safe and sound with no unusual events. Checkin at the airport went smoothly, flight was only 1/2 full so we had lots of room and I slept the whole flight so it went quick, bags were already on the carousel when we got there, and rented a car no problem. Drove to Anaheim with only 1 wrong turn and checked in early no problem. By this time we are thinking things are running too smoothly, so what is going to happen? Those of you who follow my travel adventures, know that something usually goes awry.
Took the car and drove out to Redlands to visit our friends at Collective Journey.

If you are ever in the area, make sure to visit this scrapbook store. It is huge and very nice. Got to visit with Christine and Amanda and I know we'll see them again at the show. We then had a great dinner at the Macaroni Grill and drove back to the hotel. All super smooth. Considering how my trips usually go, this was a great day. Hopefully the whole trip will be so smooth. (knock on wood!)
Tomorrow we are attending a preview with many vendors to start seeing the products before the show actually opens on Sunday. Watch for updates tomorrow night!

Oh phew!
This is the kind of travel story I love to read Michele. Glad the good karma is tucked in your suitcase.
Enjoy the day, hope your feet will carry you the whole way with a smile and you and Kate will for sure see many things that will excite you.

Glad you made it there without any mishaps.
I love the look of that store you were in, so big and spacious. I love their lounge area too, looks so inviting.
Can't wait to hear more adventures of your trip.

Yes, they have lots of space! Over 7,000sq feet!

YOU MADE IT SAFE! YOORAY. If I am ever in Anaheim, I will have to go into that store. I cant believe they have a lounge. Too cool!

The store is about an hour away from Anaheim. Really nice lounge area.
