San Francisco, and the end of my trip. Though I'm happy to be going back, it would have been nice to have a few more days to enjoy the city. I love it here; next to New York, San Francisco is my favourite US city. The trip has gone very well, business wise, and I've had a chance to do other things as well; a bit of shopping (though this is the first time in years I've been to America without buying a single DVD), hanging out with friends, visiting some excellent restaurants - I can definitely recommend Houston's and The Lobster in Santa Monica; they're both fantastic. I'll be back in the country in about four weeks (San Francisco again), and then again a week after that (New York), and then, of course, there's E3. Those frequent flyer miles are adding up. Am I getting any work done at all? Why yes, surprisingly enough. I'm able to work on the road, and being away from the office gives me some perspective and inspiration as well. Of course, I need to hunker down and roll up my sleeves once I get back to Norway, but that's okay.

Time to head through security and find my gate: AirFrance to Paris, and then up to Oslo; a good seventeen hours away. Yay.
