I wasn’t REALLY lost, I was just disoriented for an inordinate amount of time. Lucky for me there was food nearby. I was going to eat at a place with the name of ‘Mary Ann’s Diner’ but when I looked in I didn’t see anyone that looked like a Mary Ann, so I went to a real Chinese diner.
For some reason I get disoriented whenever I’m in a big city. I should know enough to take my GPS. Welcome to my first evening in San Jose to attend a science conference.
The plane from Crescent City took off 2 hours 40 minutes late due to the fog in Crescent City. The flight was pretty uneventful. That’s a good thing. It seems like it’s always an adventure when I go by myself, but I feel I did pretty good. I find that reading signs and asking directions are pretty helpful instead of bulling my way through.
I couldn’t bring myself to spend $100 for a cab to San Jose, or even $60 for a shuttle so I spent $5.75 to ride the train. It was very relaxing. The only stress I felt was almost falling asleep because it was so quiet.

Good choice taking the train.
You should use your iPhone for some of your navigating down there. With built in GPS and Google Earth/Maps in the palm of your hand you should never have to feel lost again, especially in silicon valley where there are probably wifi hotspots and 3G-speed cell towers everywhere.
