Hey all! We just arrived in san Diego after spending 1 day in LA. We didn't get a chance to see much there, but will return at the end of our stay here, so will try and catch up on all the things to see and do. We stayed on Hollywood Boulevard though, so saw some famous stars on the street. Ashlie has got a friend who lives in LA, but currently in the UK so she kindly offered us to stay in her house! It was soooo nice to sleep in a normal house, cook our own food etc. Shame it's not too hot at the moment as it has a pool there too. We will go back and stay in a week or so. Now, San Diego. Just arrived so haven't had a chance ... read more

Seufer6: Destination--The San Diego Zoo After waking up from a relaxing night of rest at the Hotel Del Coronado, we opened the curtains to windy, overcast and cold weather. Before bed last night, we decided to go the Sea World, but after looking out our window, we thought at day at the San Diego Zoo would be a better choice. Anna, Jessica, and Tanner hit the beach first thing for a quick 1 1/2 mile brisk walk. Actually, Jessica jogged, while Tanner and Anna walked. We are still missing 2 bags from our flight, and Anna's tennis shoes are in one of them, so she flip flopped walked with Tanner. It was a great walk, with many fellow exercisers. We hooked up with Ty, Emma and Lilly at breakfast at the Del. Yummy! A buffet style ... read more

So I've been in California for over three years now and honestly I'm still amazed that I ended up here. In less than a week, I'll be moving back to SC for a month before I head on over to London. ... read more

I spent several hours visiting Celebrity's cruise ship The Infinity yesterday. She was docked in the Port of San Diego. I found the day to be a success, due to picturesque setting of the San Diego Harbor, and the many features and amenitites that make up this upscale cruise ship. The "Infinity" is the second of Celebrity's ships I have done shipboard inspections on. I visited the Mercury while at a trade show last June in Seattle. The Mercury was built in 1997; the Infinity in 2001. She contains 1,059 total accommodations, which is a combination of 50 suites, 853 outside cabins (with balcony and without) and 206 inside staterooms. The Infinity offers a mixture of traditional assigned dining, alternative restaurants and one restaurant upgade for an additional price of $30 per person per meal. Reservations ... read more

3 hrs drive saw us to San Diego - its really relaxed, lots of surf dudes and beach bunnies. We checked in to the Ocean Beach Hostel - spent the afternoon on the beach sleeping. Woke for the free BBQ at the hostel at six. Chatted to loads of people and made our way to a bar. Steve is twenty one in September - unfortunately that isn't good enough for state law and so we looked to see what else we could do. The hostel has received so many complaints that they don't allow drinking anywhere after nine. The bars are all ID crazy - one of the girls at the hostel said that down on the beach there are often fires which people gather around and party - so we went down to look for ... read more
