Good Thirsty Thursday Cali!!
Today I have my first of 6 appointments with my surgeon - Medi-Cal now requires a 6 month dr. supervised diet so... *cry*. I also have church tonight! Not much going on besides that! OH! I get my last in the series of 3 Hep. B shots today... training to be a medical assistant so hep.B immunization is a must :)

Good Morning Katt and Cali Crew!!
I have returned! I know I have been MIA for a couple of weeks, but due to a manufacturers defect, my computer motherboard went out. So off to the Geek Squad hospital, it went. I am so glad I had the warranty, it was covered 100% (otherwise it would have been close to $200!)!
Today brings trying to finalize some travel plans for next month. I am going up to Albany, CA to tour the Orientation Center for the Blind. I found a train that will take me and my sister to Emeryville, but I can't find transportation from Emeryville to Albany, I also can't find any hotel/motels near the Amtrak station in Emeryville. Can any of the Nor Cal crew help with what the transportation and accomidations are in Emeryville? I am arriving on Tuesday, Feb 23rd @ 10 pm and departing Thursday, Feb 25th @ 8 am. Everything I look up online is either in Oakland or Berkley. I don't have access to a car, so I need something close by. Thank you in advance, my friends.
I hope everybody is doing fine, seems like quite a few new faces on here! That is awesome. Let me tell you Welcome. You have all come to a wonderful supportive place. Congratulations to those that have their surgery dates or are starting their pre-op rides.
Well, I am going to try to catch up with a couple of weeks of post! Seems like that may take a week in itself! LOL!
Huge hugs to everyone!!

In Emeryville, there are some choices for you to consider:
The Woodfin Inns and Suites - 5800 Shellmound Emeryville @ $119.00 per night
Four Point Sheraton - 1603 Powell St. Emeryville @ $129.00 per night
Hilton Garden Inn - 1800 Powell St. Emeryvikke @ $89.00 per night
Courtyard by Marriott - 5555 Shellmound Emeryville @ $109.00 per night
Extended Stay America - 3650 Mandela Parkway @ 80.00 per night
Almost all of them will have a free shuttle from Oakland Airport and you could take a taxi for a nominal fee from the Amtrack or Greyhound station as they are not that far from Emeryville. I would also think that the Center for the Blind can obtain an additional discount for you through contractual rates they may have either for the hotel and/or transportation.
Of course, let me know when you come up and if I can I'd love to rally for dinner one night.
Hugs,
Barb
I would love to meet up with you, if you are able to swing it.

Hugs,
Michelle
