Interview # 1 = flop
Yesterday was my first interview. I answered a listing for a Trade Show Events Manager position, got a call for an interview. I get to the interview 2 hours south and it was definitely not what I expected. Too bad, but it was a good learning experience.

To Santa Monica
The total number of trip miles was 3080.6, WHAT A JOURNEY!
We arrived in Santa Fe, NM on Tuesday evening. Santa Fe was one of the most beautiful towns I have ever experienced. The indian tribe influences were scattered throughout the historic buildings and entire town. Event the Hilton was tribal! The drive in and out of Santa Fe was deserted. There were about 5 cars on the road.
Wednesday, we were in route to the Grand Canyon. On the way we drove through the Four Corners Monument, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. We passed many mountains, mesas and very lonely cattle! Not many people! While driving west on 64 into the Grand Canyon, there was about one house every 20 miles and one bar, not the ideal situation to breakdown, Mom was a little nervous... that is definitely an understatement! Luckily, we made it into the Grand Canyon safely! We stayed 2 nights at the Lodge. Had amazing views, good food and lots of fun!
Friday morning we were on our way to Vegas...a very different town from the Grand Canyon. There were a few more houses along the way, a couple more towns, but still not ideal if lost or had car trouble. Arrived in Vegas at about 3pm at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, which excluded bed bugs as well. The hotels stupidity allowed us to miss the sun at the pool so we went to a fabulous dinner, walked around, shopped, and gambled a little. All in all it was a great night!
Saturday morning Aunt Nancy drove the entire way to Santa Monica. We made it to my new home. Tracy showed us around town and we marched straight to the Pacific Ocean. We made it!
We went to IKEA in Carson, where I purchased my first, "investment piece" (Aunt Nancy said). Pictures will come later. Mom and Aunt Nancy helped me pick out a few things for my new place. We drove to San Clemente, another beautiful town! We spent the night there. I was desperately trying to put off the goodbye, thoughts of the goodbye and anything that had to do with the goodbye. We won't talk about the goodbye, but I will say this... I am so lucky to have such a remarkable, fun, loving and supportive family. Mom, you are truly the most amazing person I know, my best friend and an inspiration! I am so proud of you and only hope I can be half the woman you are today! Aunt Nancy you are such a star, and also a huge inspiration...please let me blog about your life and accomplishments! Thank you both for the good times, laughs, and time we spent together. I will never forget the conversations, advice and words of wisdom we all shared.
Love you
