Change of plans - I'm no longer going to San Diego. Unfortunately the friend I was going to stay with will be out of town, so I get to spend a few extra days in Los Angeles instead. Turns out one of my best mates from Sydney will be in LA at the same time, so I'm looking forward to a big weekend. One of my colleagues at work has suggested I add Seattle to my itinerary. I originally had Seattle on my itinerary, but I had to remove it to make way for Chicago. The thought of a bottomless cup of coffee at the home of Starbucks is tempting though...
