Just got through with lunch. I contacted the guy who placed the Craigslist ad. I'm still waiting to hear back from him. What hotel am I staying at?

I check my e-mail. 'La Quinta Inn Mission Valley'.

I next go to the Comic-Con site. '5.1 miles...34 minute shuttle...ooh, continental buffet'.

Okay, this might not be so bad.
