Well, we made it here. Smooth flying except for one little patch of clouds near Anaheim. Joyce Miller and I are looking forward to the Province VII banquet tonight. Ran into 3 other Daughters at the airport.
Lorraine at the check in desk commented "you are all wearing the same cross." Nice to have her notice.
Our view from the 8th floor of the Hyatt Regency Orange County is lovely--I'm not sure if we are facing Disneyland or not. According to the map, somewhere in a 2 mile radius of here, there is Disneyland. We'll be too busy to visit 'the Mouse' though.
We are off to officially check in with the Daughters and get our name tags--after which we discovered the gift shop and the in-hotel Starbucks...temptations galore.
The Province VII Banquet tonight was delightful. The food, esp. the dessert (chocolate cake topped with chocolate mousse and wrapped in chocolate) was yummy
Provincial business to report--Brenda Amos is the new Provincial President, with Marti Fagley, Stacy Adams and our own Diocesan president--Deb Tischler as her board. Fr. Michael Gemignani, from somewhere in TX is the new Province chaplain.
Tomorrow will start the real business of the Triennial, although mostly tomorrow there will be workshops with only a couple business meetings. The meat of the business (elections and by-laws) will be Friday.
