It started slowly. Having had an early night last night following a full day, I booked a 2 day bus tour of the city online. The theory was brilliant, there’s a bus stop somewhere near the hotel (stop 15 on the green route). Practically, it doesn’t exist. I spent a…
Thought I should take a photo before we trashed the room with our bags ….nice room
You would think it would be simple, meeting at the airport. Nope, not a bit of it. Liz managed to visit all three terminals at airport before finding the right one, but we eventually met up, and thank heavens we had a spare hour or three before departure! Having calmed…
Only one more day at work before the holiday. I’ve checked the weather forecast and it’s not good, but that’s the least of my worries. So far, I have no packing done, I can’t find so many things which haven’t surfaced after the house moves, and I could do with…
Here we are, sitting in San Diego airport having arrived here very early for check-in, and having spent the morning at the hotel del Coronado. What an amazingly beautiful place. It’s made entirely of wood, and has a distinctive red roof, and is set on the most beautiful sandy bay.…
Up early again today. Can’t get the hang of the time difference, and it’s a hot one yet again. We set off on the bus to the gaslamp quarter in downtown San Diego, expecting it to be full of bijou shops and interesting places to see, but it’s like every…
We have left our beautiful hotel in Indian Wells, and moved on to our final hotel in San Diego. Liz and I decided against going into the desert in temperatures of 108 degrees to photograph the Joshua trees, and instead drive to La Jolla north of San Diego before going…
We started off early on what we knew would be a long drive to Indian wells/Palm Springs. This really is a desert, with white sands encroaching on the highway. I’m so tired, having had a bad night in wuksachi lodge, but we set off with high expectations, and Liz spotted…
I must first of all update on last night’s post. Being tired and in no fit state to find somewhere else to eat, we were told that we had to make a reservation for dinner. Why, I have no idea, as the place is deserted, but I asked for 6…
Just in case anybody is missing a post today, the reason is that we have spent 8 1/2 hours in the car getting here in the Sequoia National Park. Grrrr! We did see a coyote, but were in too much of a hurry to get out of Death Valley before…
