Getting Smart in San Diego Day #3 “Heading for Home, Well Not Quite:

Today was the last day of the conference and it was time to head for home.  Of course I couldn’t leave this wonderful town without making a couple more observations.  The San Diego convention center is truly amazing.  The layout is perfect and having our hotel attached made our experience a delight.  There is an enormous atrium which I think could house the entire population of South Dakota (see below).

AAA CONVENTION 03
Maybe all of South AND North Dakota’s residences could fit?

So I got to thinking about what if this place was packed and people were trying to enter and exit this area.  Things could get very messy. Someone already thought that out (see below).

AAA CONVENTION 02
These doors can only be opened from the inside of the atrium.  The adjacent doors can only be opened from the outside of the atrium.  Very clever.

Yes those architects can be very ingenious at times.  Not so for doctors.  At least not the ones at the ACP Annual Meeting.  Notice the doctors lined up to exit this lecture.  See below.

AAA CONVENTION 04
At every meeting doctors lined up to leave.  This line was much more crowded a few minutes earlier.

If the doctors would have bothered to look to their left they could have seen me exiting from here (see below).

AAA CONVENTION 05
There goes one smart guy who beat me to the door. 

After the last Convention meeting we packed up and headed for home.  A nice dinner break was enjoyed a Rocco’s in San Clemente.  Patrice found it and much to my surprise I not only enjoyed a wonderful dinner but I got to watch the end of the North Carolina vs Oregon basketball game to see the last entrant into the NCAA finals.

I better sign off now, because we need to get up early.  Tomorrow we leave for Boston!
