Admiral at La Mirage San Diego

Ok, here I go... This is the blog page for my trip to South America. For those of you bored enough to log on, I will try my best to keep my blogs and pictures up to date. I'll also try to keep the material interesting. Tomorrow is the big day and I am quite excited, why ...

... Palestine to France and many more. My kids especially are looking forward to attending some theatrical and musical performances by the San Diego Junior Theater and San Diego Civic Youth Ballet. And yes I forgot to add, the best part is actually free visit to all the museums. For two days visitors can visit all the museums free of cost in Balboa park. Now isn't it icing on the cake.

Am so very tired, too tired to type...spent the day at Legoland, almost no queues all day which was great, but lots and lots of walking.


Sunny day there, but not too hot and not too cold either - I think we picked the perfect day for it.
J&K enjoyed the roller coasters there but they were very tame, nowhere near ...

... Far Side of the World, the Californian, the Steam Ferry Berkeley, the Steam Yacht Medea, a B-39 Soviet submarine and the USS Dolphin submarine, which they claim is the deepest diving submarine ever.

After exploring the ships we drove to the Seaport Village. The Seaport Village is a favorite childhood memory of mine. We came with our parents when I was about 6 and Logan age 4, I ...

... children in push chairs who just wanted to sleep but couldn't because of all the sensory bombardment. It was an experience, I am glad I have at least seen it but the huge change from the amazing natural beauty I had seen that morning and I did NOT like it!!!

The next morning we hit the road again, down through into California to San Diego. I loved San Diego - it is by the sea, chilled out and so varied (and different from Vegas!!) we stayed with a friend of Ben's from ...

... held next to a large Morton Bay fig tree some 90 years old! Balboa park is quite impressive. After helping out with a demonstration of the Falun Dafa exercises at a healing arts expo in the park I went into the downtown shopping mall to see X-Men Origins. Very exciting stuff and Hugh Jackman did a great job as Wolverine.

Arrived here after an arduous trip.The plane was delayed,and nearly missed connecting flight due to immigration being so busy,then next flight was also delayed and tfinally my baggage mislaid. Great to see Tony smilling as he greeted me though Anyway,the sun shone , then the rain came and didn't stop.It still hasn't stopped. When the sun shone it was perfect,about 20degrees during the day,though slightly chilly ...

... across the street and sat down to wait a few minutes. It was dark and my daughter got chilled and she wore her jacket and I wrapped her in a towel. I thought it was from the ice cream and the sun setting. It should have been a clue to me for what was coming up the next day. A woman was sitting next to us and we got into a conversation. She worked as a massage therapist at the Del and told us many stories and info about the hotel. She was very nice. I had stayed at the Del about 15-16 ...

Sometimes you got to do what you don't want to do. But then there are also times when you got to do what you really want to do. I first heard of these words back when my grandfather passed away. My uncle was sharing a story with all of us at the funeral. How when he was a kid he had to do some work on the front deck of the house and somehow his portion involved crawling beneath the deck. He bitterly complained ...
