Not so. There was nearly conclusive evidence that we were on planet Earth. The place was crawling with humanoids and most of them spoke English. Final piece of evidence was almost conclusive. We knew that our Southwest Airline flight was supposed to take us to the left coast of the US to a strange place called San Diego.
Upon deplaning we were greeted by blasts of cold air. We were whisked from the airport on well paved streets without any potholes. That was a welcome change from our beloved Houston.
Our genial hosts, Bob and Julia, regaled us with food , drink and entertainment for 5 days. Although their lives were completely disrupted, they kept up a cheerful demeanor. We went to many fine restaurants and met a number of their interesting friends. Unexpectedly Gina ( Niece and husband Carlos) appeared on the scene. Bridge, upwords and poker were the games of choice.
Back to the other planet idea : The peculiar SD flora, all unknown here in Texas, Seem to exist without benefit of water. We understand that in never rains there. ( It rained twice while we were there )
Here we are, home again with our familiar plants and potholes

Terrific post. Didn't know we had that many potholes here in Houston. Glad you had such a good time.
Is it possible that the roads in Houston are worse than San Diego’s? I’m always telling people that the roads here feel much like those of our dear 3rd world nation south of us.
We loved having you in San Diego. It gave us all the excuses we needed to ignore our work and play. It did me a world of good. The scary think: it did not seem to hurt my business at all! Let’s do it again!
