I left Bishop at the beginning of November to do some family stuff. Getting from Bishop to the airport in Vegas 5 hours away became....tricky. Well, why not take a bus? There's a bus that runs from Bishop to Reno. That's about 5 hours. Bishop is just south of Mammoth, a skiers mecca. A bus would be the simple solution. Yeah. My dad spent hours on the phone with the everyone in Bishop including the Chamber of Commerce to find a way from Bishop California to Las Vegas Nevada. There is no bus. When my dad asked, "Why???" The lovely lady informed my dad that they'd have to go over a mountain range. Oh. Ok. Duh!? But, I can catch a bus from Bishop, take a 5 hour drive to Reno, THEN catch a bus to ... read more

Last weekend we made it to San Francisco!! Out of the woods and into...diversity!?...culture!?...something different!! Its safe to say, I had a blast! I have to go back someday, when I have more time (and $$$!). We got a ride there with a friend of a friend. The trip from South Lake Tahoe to San Francisco should take 4 hours. It took us 8. Long story. Not worth getting into. We got there after dark. Adam and I had planned on staying with my friend Jimmy, and we had no problem finding his place. Thank GOD! It was good seeing Jimmy. He's all growed up! Aw! He lives in Haight Ashbury. Lots to see. We kept it simple. We went for pizza, then went to bed. Saturday morning Adam, myself, Laurie and Darren walked to Golden ... read more

Most of the time that I was home I worked. BUT, I did get to go to 2 Red Sox games. The first was against the New York Yankees! It was also, my very first time at Fenway (believe it or not!!!). First of all, Fenway Park-WOW! What a feeling. I can't descibe it. I almost cried. (I do that a lot.) Its just amazing. I went with two of my most favoritest people. Jason and Chris. We ate Remdogs (next time I'll stick with the Fenway frank)-it was good, but a little much. We drank beer, mmm beer. Lotsa beer. Helloooooo, we were at a Red Sox game. I must say, what a way to introduce me to the park. A Red Sox Yankees game!! Not ONLY was it a Sox/Yankees game, but it ... read more

Truly one of the most spectacular roads in the world, Coast Highway One wends along the California coastline. At times, it dares the ocean to pluck it away from its delicate perch and dash it into the frothing waves. In other places, it softly floats along the shoreline, and you seem to merge with the ocean and pelicans as they gracefully breeze by. This is Californias' first scenic highway, it was dedicated as such by Mrs.Lyndon B. Johnson at the famous Bixby bridge on Sep.21,1966. The official span of the scenic highway was designated as running from San Louis Obispo to Monterey. The range of vistas along the coast is extraordinary from soft white sandy beaches in the south, the coast undergoes some remarkable changes, as it proceeds north. Just after the Hearst castle near Cambria, ... read more
