San Diego Zoo,Balboa Park and Fuddruckers Up early and off to San Diego Zoo and first stop is Balboa Park, it's very pretty and we visit the Japanese garden, it's so quiet and serene and very relaxing. Steve's very excited, what he thought in the distant were large Dragon Flies are actually Humming birds and he tries get a few shots. We come across the funniest sight, a little golf buggy went past us, it was a police patrol vehicle with 2 elderly citizens driving it and we had to look twice, we could not stop laughing, how were they going to stop a criminal. Later that day we saw another patrol car (a real one) on the same block, instead of LAPD Patrol Car on it, it had RSVP which stands for Retired Senior Volunteer ... read more

We're so excited...we leave tomorrow! I'm not exactly thrilled to be driving up to LA in this awful weather, but you gotta do what you gotta do, eh? Hopefully all goes well. I might be coming down with a cold...yuck! I hope this sore throat goes away. 14 hour flights+colds do NOT mix. At least we checked out the on-board entertainment that will be playing on our plane already (it lists the movies online!) and it seems to be great! Ian has already picked the 3 or 4 movies he wants to watch en route. I plan on attempting to sleep & get through Eclipse. I'm excited to see what Virgin Atlantic is like...I hear it's one of the best airlines to fly with! I just hope they have free wine like Air New Zealand did ... read more

Hi everyone! Kate here! Stumbled upon this list of 100 Wonders of the World today. I'd like to visit all 100 and I'm on my way there!! After this next trip, I will have visited 24 out of the 100...not too shabby for being 24 years old!! I made this graphic of which ones I've been to and which I will have been to after this cruise. I've visited the ones with red dots already & am about to visit the ones with blue dots on this next trip. There are many spots I'd argue to be on this list (Auschwitz, British Parliament, etc), but it seems to be a pretty good list. Which leads me to wonder...which of these have YOU been to?? Reply with a comment and let me know!!... read more

Well Merry Christmas to everyone! We know that vacations in January are AWESOME because Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years make the wait MUCH easier...time just flies by! We had an amazing Christmas surrounded by family & friends, and topped off with an awesome Charger's win against the Titans!! Which reminds me of a very important point. We will be spending Super Bowl Sunday innnnnn........ Portugal! Yes, sadly, we realized (of course after booking everything) that we will be in Portugal for the Super Bowl. This is a bit scary for a few reasons. 1) If the Chargers actually DO make it into the Super Bowl, it will SUCK to be away from San Diego. 2) We aren't exactly sure where the Super Bowl will air in Portugal. Since our hotel is a bit outside of Lisbon, ... read more
