09/13/2001 Entry: "Day Four"

Today's the fourth day we are in Petaluma. We have given up on taking the train back after we learned it would take four days for us to get across the country. We are currently scheduled on a flight to go out tomorrow afternoon. We are planning on leaving at 8:00 in the morning, hopefully getting to the airport hours before the flight leaves. We don't know how much traffic will be on the Golden Gate Bridge, or what is going to be involved with dropping off the rental car. We have extended our stay at the hotel another four days, and won't be checking out until we are being seated on the plane.

We are leaving our laptops here, and having Cisco ship them back to Herndon later. I'm also going to have them ship back my bag, so I'll be traveling across country with my cellphone, a ragged copy of Omensetter's Luck, and the clothes on my back. I've got to remember to take my apartment keys out of my baggage before it ships. Hopefully I'll be able to do some laundry so I'll at least be wearing clean clothes for tomorrow.

I finally got in touch with Debby, and her family is all OK. Her brother was one of the people evacuated across the Brooklyn Bridge. Someone from Cisco was on one of the planes, and someone from our office in Herndon knew a family that has on the flight that left Dalles.
