April 3 — SAC to Chico, CA





We had a pleasant drive up to Chico, the level fiields of crops and grassland stretching from the roadside out to very distant hills. Most slept, and we checked into the Holiday Inn Express around 2:30pm. We like the Holiday Inn Express. as we like La Quinta and Comfort Inn. Not only do the sausage and egg, waffle breakfasts make us all happy, these hotels always have a large community room where we can gather after the show to eat. Plus, there's free wireless, laundry machines and strange things like the "Pillow Menu" in our current room. I ordered one of each: medium firm synthetic, medium down, firm down and u-shaped. The idea was to have a test session with the group members, and discuss, in both English and Japanese, the attributes of each. But we probably would have had to do that last night. Now were in production at Chico. It's going slowly, and it doesn't look like we'll have time for a run-through.
