24 Hours down and it already feels like 24 days. We started off with a 2 hour delay in Auckland. Nothing too major there you may think but with connecting flights and a high level of security any delay was going to be a problem. We scored a good seat right at the front of the plane by the bulkhead which although meant no one in front of us could push their seat back I still had to do a David Blane illusion to stay in the seat for the 12 hr flight! Luckily Chris's legs didn't even reach the wall. It's tough being a tall man in a short man's world. I quickly set about completing the Boeing Company's quality control and managed to pull the entire headrest off the seat. The cabin crew wouldn't ... read more

Seven nights spent in San Diego right in the south west of California. Our journey down was also our last Greyhound trip as our pass now runs out, this is a good thing!!. The Greyhound was an experience in itself and we would recommend it as a cheap and (fairly) easy way to see America. Just get ready to see some bizarre people, a real mixed bag. We traveled on Labor day so traffic was busy busy, and we missed one connection in LA. Also saw some pretty extreme forest fires just north of LA. The city of SD has a lot going for it, its population is well over one million so you get all the good things (and bad) that come with being in a huge metropolis. Our hostel was in an area of ... read more

Now here is a city that certainly stands out from any other on the West Coast. Despite first impressions, illustrated from the inside of an empty railroad station, just past midnight, nowhere to go, because for the first time ever the train had arrived on time. Fear not, we soon had a destination (roughing it yet again at the Ramama Hotel Downtown). We soon found out this city loves to party, such a shame it only lasts until 2am though! As morning broke, our first destination was the San Diego Zoo 'best in the world'? hmmmm maybe, the animals seem to look the same wherever we go. They never seem too excited about the situation either, but neither would I if people drank those delicious slurpies in front of me all day and didn't even leave ... read more

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 for his 50th high school reunion. He says he wants to see how all the girls look. He never had any kids of his own and he is single and 69! He really has no ... read more

San Diego.... we have never seen such a high concentration of silicone body parts!!! The funny part is that a lot of these appendages don't even look good. Sad for those people! We are staying with our friend Luis who has an ocean front apartment. Nothing better than waking up to the sound of the waves! He took us to Tijuana just south of the border. We met his girlfriend Paolina there. We had an excellent time with the buy one get one free drinks :-) The following 2 days we spent time at the beach and at the amazing San Diego Zoo.... read more

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 deck. Hugh Morgan (Hollys nephew) and his fiance Angie will join us for the sail on day three. Day One, we just hung out on-board relaxing, swimming and taking in as much Vitamin C sunshine ... read more

Well we woke up as early as we could on the Monday ( I remember what we did now) - We had intentions of leaving at eight which didnt quite go to plan I think we woke up about ten. We finally left the house about twelve and went into Johns work for Lunch again still cant complain with cheap food and then headed off to San Deigo. We arrived at Jesses place (Johns Brother) and waited around for a little while for him to get home which took maybe half and hour. When he got there we didnt waste much time in gettin on our togs and heading down to the beach. On our way we picked up a few cans of beer becuase you are allowed to drink on the beach there as long ... 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
