Well yesterday we travelled alot, today we did the same. This morning we checked-out of the Excalibur hotel & casino and said goodbye to Las Vegas for the last time and headed on a journey back to the west coast to San Diego. It was a long drive we had to head back over to LA then head down the coast to San Diego, took just over 6 hours with a couple of stops in between. I can't believe how early it gets dark here. It was 1630 and the sun had set, so it felt like it was about 2300 [View Full Entry]

Hi all, Well, we're still here. Brian and I have been cutting holes in the boats and the tanks and trying to figure out what has happened. On Monday, October 26, we dinghied out to the Shelter Island fishing pier and watched the Ha Ha fleet sail away. We were both a little teary eyed watching them go. All of our crew except Bonnie and Ray found another boat to go on, so we hope they have a good time. It turns out that there is another Cooper 416 her in San Diego. She is named Redcoat and her skipper is [View Full Entry]

Sarah: Thursday we left work early and headed toward San Diego after running by the library to stock up on books for a beach weekend. We made a stop for "dinner" at a McDonalds in Gila Bend and sat munching our burgers while watching all of the people heading to and returning from Rocky Point. Lots of people talking about Mexican Insurance, Wave Runners and Beach Houses. We caught bits of the news on the nice wall mounted flatscreen while studying the cast of characters gathered at the fast food restaurant. Leaving Gila Bend, we laughed about the space themed hotel [View Full Entry]

Starting Point = Carlsbad, CA Final Destination = Virginia Beach, VA We are putting the west coast in our rear view mirror and heading east for our new/old home in Virginia. We will be camping in our 1985 Land Cruiser across our greatish country. We are sad to leave sunny California, but looking forward to the new stage in our lives. This blog entry is intended to allow family and friends to follow our trek from San Diego to Virginia. We aren't doing this to rub in that we are taking this way cool trip, but hoping that our trip might [View Full Entry]

The end of our do-a-whole-lot-of-nada week is tomorrow morning, so we'll be heading toward Arizona next. While we were here we got to hang out with a lot of friends, sit around our campfire, barbeque a lot, and we even went up to Universal Studios. Echo had a day at the dog beach, and Rummy had fun trying to sit on top of any games we tried to play on the kitchen table. Overall, it was a nice week, but we're both ready for our vacation from our vacation to end. Hopefully now the weather will start to get better, and [View Full Entry]

Oceanside Well, we're back in Oceanside, where we lived before we moved all of our stuff up to Washington. We spent the day playing with Echo, running errands, and Danielle was reading. It's an official week of relaxation as we wait for warmer temperatures in Yosemite, the Sierras/Nevada, the Grand Canyon, The Utah Nat'l parks, and Colorado. The new plan is to spend a week here on the lake and ocean on Camp Pendleton, simply relaxing and not driving anywhere. Then we'll head east to Arizona and spend some time there, in Tucson and up to Flagstaff. Then we'll a [View Full Entry]

I have not been very motivated lately to blog. Or maybe I have just been so busy in the last month or so. It is now 9/15/06 and I am posting what I had written. I'll also work on an update tonight. 08/16/06 It has been quite hectic for the last couple of weeks. My daughter, Kelci, flew into Oakland the day before all the drama with the airlines and liquid carry-ons. We did a little sightseeing in San Francisco then drove down to San Diego to take my crazy Uncle to the airport. He flew out this morning to Hawaii [View Full Entry]

After spending a few days relaxing and using Lake Summit Lodge as our home base, we headed out to Oceanside to spend a week-end of sailing. This may very well have been the best and most relaxed week-end we've had in a long time. We spent two nights and three days on Hugh (Hollys brother) and Nickis new 42 foot Catalina sailboat, "Island Girl". Hugh and Nicki are our in-laws and devout Jimmy Buffet Parrot Heads finally living out their dream of living on a sailboat. Island Girl can accommodate and sleep up to eight persons in her spacious quarters below [View Full Entry]

This is not only a trip but a wonderful experience in the best part of the United States: California. I have been leaving overthere for six months in 2004 to get my toefl degree and learn English: a language difficult to learn for almost all the latin people. Take a look of S.diego, San francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon with a cute surfer like me ; ). My house was on a hill in Clairemont Dr. with a wonderful view of mission Bay. This gorgeous house was costing me 1000 $ per month but by sharing it with [View Full Entry]
