Las Palmas Hotel San Felipe

... t I be? I quit my job, threw whatever I could in my backpack, bought a plane ticket to a strange land, and decided to loose myself there for the next five weeks....genius. Ok well I still have a ton of stuff to do before tomorrow. I will update soon. Till next time...

... 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.

... 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 ...

... done San Felipe with family groups as large as 21
and done everything from single rooms to multiple rooms on property.
But nothing compared to the value and comfort we got from having two
homes across the street from each other.


The pool and private beach were the biggest hits with the kids. Several
days we just cooked up snacks and then set out a "buffet ...

... San Diego. On January 22nd we took part in the Rotary Club sponsored "Taste of San Felipe" event. Over 25 of San Felipe's most popular eating establishments, from taco stands to large restaurants, prepared samples of their specialties. We walked through town sampling food at as many places as we could manage. Although we were ...

We arrived only a short 45 minute drive from Laguna Beach in San Diego and returned our beloved convertible at the Fox Rent-a-car close to the airport. I had the "smarts" to reserve us an airport shuttle to get us from the airport to our close by hotel location. The 5 minute drive cost us $15.-. My reservation read $9.00 for two people, which is why I booked with "A-Blue ...

... of Mexico before we head off there for good tomorrow. Today we basically found the bus station, got the price of the bus tickets, and found out what time it leaves at. That way we're not hauling our packs everywhere with us. Anyhoo... we had a great nap this afternoon after we got back, so now we're bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to go out for a drink! :) Tomorrow... off to Mexico!! Yeehaw!

... one hundred pesos per night. Best of all, no one at Pai-Pai brought a moto. The sun and the water are warm. The beach is clean. A few motos, Jeeps, and dune buggies pass by from time to time, but it is basically pretty quiet. A group of families from San Diego at the end of the campo host a disco for their preschoolers each night complete with light show and hip-hop and ska hits from Nelly, 50 Cent, UB40, and No Doubt but they are usually changing diapers and sending the ...

... I pulled away from the inspection post with the uneasy feeling that this young soldier was going to be telling everyone at his barracks that night about the American that couldn't even understand plain English. In my defense however, I have always been more conversant in Hillbilly that in the Queen's English. This Spanish thing may be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. Kudzu and I made it to our selected campsite for the night, the serene and peaceful sounding ...

... sme sa na cestu, ktora podla miestnych mala byt asi 7 mil dlha. Opat sme sa nevyhli nechapavym pohladom miestnych domorodcov a ked sme ani po 2 hodinach slapania v snehu neprisli do nijakej dediny a zacala sa prava snehova fujavica, povedali sme si, ze asi naozaj treba zacat verit miestnym obyvatelom a vratit sa do hotela. O pol druhej po obede sme teda vyrazili z hotela smerom do San Diega. Cakala nas 850km dlha cesta na ktorej sme zazili takmer vsetko - slnecne pocasie ...
