Wrapping Things Up North America » United States » California » orange county By GoneWanderingApril 4th 2007 Dear Friends and Family, This will be my blog over the coming weeks, months, and possibly years. I am wrapping things up here in California over the next three weeks. I have tons of errands to run so I must apologize if I don’t get to everyone in time. I leave for Phuket on May first. I will be training at www.mmaphuket.com for about 8 weeks. After that I will be attending a course in Prague to get my TESL license. As you can imagine I will be busy over the coming mont... read more

So today was a break from disneyland and the plan was to hit up the Beach! Thankfully it was a much sunnier day although it was a tad bit windy there. I still managed to get in some prime tanning time and simply enjoy the sun, sand and surf. I could have stayed there all day! But... alas we had to get back into to get ourselves ready for Medieval Times dinner show! We had been there a few times before but the food is always so good and the show very amusing. We ended up getting the RED night who was a dead ringer for Donny Osmond (I personally had a wee little crush on the Yellow and Black Knight haha) ... read more

Ooh, I know, I've been awful. Once the car was rented, we spent the majority of our time camping or on the road, leaving little (or no) time for journal updates. I will say that having the freedom of a car really enriched my experience in Argentina and Chile, so props to Jack for talking me into it. I will fill in the month and a half void with our adventures. That is a promise, and will give me something to focus on while I acclimate to the land of luxury, where fleas are scarce and toilet paper is flushed. Ciao!... read more

Hi, it's Ilene writing from California-- Glad I built in the one-day buffer in California. You'd think leaving CT in the morning would give me plenty of time to reach California, but I almost spent the night in Dallas. 12:15pm EST my plane leaves 30 min late from BDL. 3:35pm CST I miss my connection in DFW by 5 minutes because we take an extra 40 minutes in the air to go around strong headwinds. I ran and ran. No avail. 6 others also miss the flight. Why is it better to reroute all of us than holding the plane? There should be a word for the feeling you get watching your connecting flight pull away from the gate while you're still on the runway in your first plane. 3:45pm CST I'm put on standby for ... read more

Seufer6: Destination: Laguna Beach: January15-18, 2007 Monday January 15, 2007 Martin Luther King Day After so much fun in Disneyland, we decided to turn it down a notch and head south for a few days of relaxing in the beautiful artsy town of Laguna Beach, California. We arrived after a short drive to the ULTRA luxurious Montage Hotel and Spa, checked into our room, unpacked a little, put on our swimsuits and headed for the pool, which was just feet from our door. We swam, hot tubbed, walked to the beach, and enjoyed the sunset. As the sun set, the weather cooled, so we headed back to our room where Tanner fixed all his sisters sandwiches and strawberries. They were yummy. By the presentation of the turkey sandwich and strawberries on the plate, he is destined ... read more
