Peacock Suites Resort Anaheim

... wait to see Mickey Mouse tomorrow. <br><br>News from Sara:<br><br>The ride to California was probably the most boring ever. The only thing we saw the entire time was sand and hills and power lines and the occasional big thermometer (definitely the highlight of today's trip.) I have, however, decided that I want to live on Zzyzx Road. I will have no idea how to pronounce the street that I live on, but I will be able to ...

... was going to be shut down for repairs. In hind sight, the dark pirate ride is probably not one that Callie would enjoy but we had to go. Callie was very polite. ("No thankyou, no thankyou, no thankyouuuuuu!") Carter loved it. I thnk it's been his favourite ride so far. The tea cups were our next destination. I hate the spinning but Callie still enjoyed it. I think she likes the bright rides ...

... in the water parks. There are several of them throughout the park. We spent most of our time at the Pirates Cove (not sure what the actual name of that part of the park), he loved all the rides he got to go on, especially the pirate ship where he got to shoot water out of the water guns. Buster lost his glasses on that ride, so we had to wait til the park closed and they fetched his glasses out of the water. We got ...

... Tigger and Eyore. He was not as keen on Mikey though !. It was a full day -we didnt leave until gone midmight, we'd stopped late to see some shows and fireworks but Max threw a spanner in the works when a Pirate ship came from nowhere and fired a very loud cannon. It really spooked him and now he keeps telling us that Pirates are not his best friends !! We will miss the beaches but not a lot else about LA !!.

... mediator, negotiator and great mate! At dinner I met Collis and Claire, a couple from Melbourne as well as Adrian (Qld), Troy (Qld) and Tyson (Vic). After dinner we were give the option of going to Tao nightclub but a group of us decided to hit the casinos instead. We ended up having a relatively early night at 1 a.m. (something that was a rareity throught the tour).

... we realised we were missing out on good beach time so headed out on the 405 San Diego Freeway. We'd planned on going to Long Beach, but when we got there it wasn't quite as beachy as anticipated. Instead we headed down the coast further until we came down to Huntington Beach. Parking here was a bit pricey so we ended up stopping at Seal Point. This was a military area so it was quite deserted. It was also bloody windy so we didn't stay long. We ...

... all the good things we enjoy! Here are our favorite moments from the trip: - Panama Canal tour - it was fascinating and very worth it - Salsa dance lesson and talk with wonderfully open Panama City resident Gloria - Meeting fellow travelers at Casa de Carmen hostel - Hiking to top of Cerro Ancon hill in Panama City - Meeting Javier at The ...

... with this - the Greek Myth of Helen &amp; Troy - really made this come to life. We then did a self-guided tour of the photographic section which Greg also found intriguing. We left the Getty Centre &amp; took a drive along Mulholland Drive, past the mansions of the rich &amp; famous. We ended up on Sunset Blvd after this &amp; sat in some serious traffic before arriving at Griffin Park to see the famous Hollywood sign. It was much further away than ...

... the most traffic we have ever seen; even more than New York. A funny thing we learned is the people of Southern California do not know how to drive in the rain. Supposedly, it is always 75 degrees and sunny here. We heard many announcements on the radio pleading for people to drive extra careful because of the chance of rain. Both of us grew up in Florida, so we don't even think twice to go out for a bite to eat during a tropical storm or a mild hurricane (this is how I first met Jenn ...
