La Quinta Inn Temecula

... and there's a big gumball machine in the waiting room, even the waitresses wear the pink and white stripped dresses and white aprons. My favourite dish there was the strawberry milkshake ofcourse.
One evening we went to the movie theater and watched Borat, my date really liked it, he didn't think it was going to be as funny.
I took many walks on the beach, waded into the water and at one time visited the surf museum. It contained many ancient surfboards and articles on ...

... shirt and sun-screen! Anyway, I did make it back alive and well, if you were wondering. It was a great time! The highlight was visiting Key West FL. Aside from the destination, I got to visit with friends I hadnt seen in 10 years...super cool!

Thanks for reading all my mindless blogging. I do have a few pics to post but not much....mostly cycle related. Its kind of difficult to snap photos when your riding a bike.

... what that’s about. One side of the road had fields watered from the irrigation ditch while the other side was absolutely barren. I’m sure it has something to do with the California Aqueduct but I haven’t investigated the situation. The dryness continued all the way to the Los Angeles area but the city didn’t look as bad as the outer areas. Commercialization has its advantages, and many areas utilize sprinkler systems.

We rented an AVIS car from Oceanside to drive to LAX. It was much cheaper than flying or parking one's car at LAX. On our return we have reserved a car in Culver City and they will pick us up for $20 which is a lot cheaper than picking up the car at the airport. Just need to put this info into reservation and call the Culver City office once you are at the terminal.

... visited L.A. for the day with Natalie. This was my third time to Cali & I'd never visited Hollywood Boulevard, so we did the touristy thing up there & went to Mann's Chinese Theatre, the Kodak theatre, Hollywood Walk of Fame. The traffic was really bad on the way up there, Friday at 3pm clearly wasn't a wise time to leave Temecula, but once we were up there we had a good time & Des, Nat's cousin, came & joined us up there too. We stopped at Hooters for a drink ...

... dry for us. We learn that the summer temps can get up to 110 here and this affects the wine's taste and means that the grapes used for the Pinot Noir (my husband's favorite wine) cannot be grown here. Our last two tastings are the champagne. I'm not a big fan of champagne and have reservations about how sweet and syrupy the Almond Champagne may taste. We start with the Grand Cuvee Champagne and WOW! Light, bubbly and just wonderful!!! I can't believe I am drinking and ...

... whence he could bring out weekenders and thus rebuilt this hotel as their destination. Once water began to be pumped down from the Sierras in the early 20th century the orange farms expanded and the town grew. It is nevertheless an incredibly artificial town, designed with a ruler and pencil on flat land. Two streets contain all the courthouses, county offices, police HQ, jail block ( a multi storey ultra modern structure) all the law offices and bail bond businesses. Then ...

... it is a 3D movie but with elements such as real wind and rain added for extra effect. After this I sold a kidney and bought lunch. After lunch I headed over to the Waterworld show. They had stunts, pyrotechnics, water going everywhere and a bit of comedy as well, a great show and worth the wait! After all the tours and shows I decided to end the day going on a ride. I decided on the Mummy returns ride that turned out to be really fun. I headed out to the ...

David me preguntaba que opciones habria en México con respecto a los maratones, sencillamente le explique que solo hay como que un gran evento en la ciudad y ni siquiera estoy tan seguro de cuando sea, solo se que existe, el Domingo como en muchas ciudades del mundo sencillamente esta todo muerto, LA no fue ...

... the rainbow came out. One of the best yet, I might add. The parking lot to the beach was flooded and we had to do some manuvering to get past it but it was worth it. On the morning of my last day, we ate fish tacos (which is apparently something you MUST do in Maui) with pineapple salsa at a place called Maui Taco. Then I found a Hawaii flag for my pack. I still don't know why they aren't their own country. I really ...
