Radisson Hotel Harbor View San Diego

... it's made up -- they had a couple of Italian restaurants along one street and so deemed it Little Italy. Probably very cynical of me. The W Hotel is happening tonight ... some big wine tasting event. Lots of sleek young bodies in high heels and/or tight pants. Both men and women. Very amusing. I definitely felt out of place ... <br>

At work all day, then late afternoon flight. No problems with flight at all ... arrived, got rental car, then drove the few miles to the W Hotel. Very swank. The "living room" bar was happening ... but we just went to our rooms, then met for dinner at Rice, the embedded restaurant, which serves Cuban/Asian fusion. Food was fine, not fab.<br><br>Room is fun ... there's a chalkboard (that received a bit of J. Alfred Prufrock from me) and a window seat. And the linens are wonderful.<br><br><br>

... s stunning, and she&#8217;s a classic. Up to this point our favorite ship had been the Noordam, which is still lovely, but the Statendam is wonderful. She&#8217;s classic, she&#8217;s navigable, she comfortable and most of all, she has class. Everything is the right size, from her towering atrium with its fountain to the Rembrandt dining room. Needless to say, we are charmed and are in love with her from first sight. So we buzzed around ...

... pass cars even when there are double yellow lines that usually signify no passing - just make sure you honk first. Police cars drive with their lights flashing but no one moves over for them and no one slows down.<br><br>--Babies/toddlers wear pants that are open in the back so you can see<br>their little butt. The parents hold their baby so that it can just go<br>to the bathroom on ...

... carrier USS Midway was decommissioned after the Gulf War after serving since 1945, and is now set up as a fully functional muesem in the San Diego harbour. In just over an hour, we managed to squeeze in a lot on the floating fortress. We saw the engine rooms, jail (brig), main hangers, flight deck, pilots ready rooms, the captains and admirals quarters, and the war room. On the flight deck there was a huge variety of planes and helicopters that have been used over the ...

... a tissue to give to him. I on the other hand, got through mine through sheer will power. Even though I came close to panic when I lost my place. I don't know if anyone else noticed. We did the sand ceremony with the kids, and it was beautiful! I'm so happy we did it, and it will be a great souvenier. Onto the cake cutting and pictures. We had so much fun playing in the waves and the sand for the pictures and got ...

... hundereds of people filed across, no customs no nothing. It's amazing how it changes from modern northern america to shacks sandy streets and annoying street traders within a five minute walk. I'm pleased i went but mexico was a dump - well Tijuana was should i say, i got something said to me about 15 times, i think it was comments about me being white which was nice. I have to say i didn't feel safe particularly safe so whilst i had a good mooch around and ...

... subject - cars. Well, maybe not my absolute favourite, but close to it. Sometimes I think I'm more like a guy in the sense that I love to drive, and I appreciate a cool car, even if I don't have one myself. California is the place to be for cool cars, that's for sure - imagine, cars older than mine without a spot of rust on them! Amazing! Today, I saw my first-ever Lamborghini in the flesh, err, rubber. I was so overwhelmed ...

... of Lamb, or Poppyseed & Herb Encrusted Seabass (+sides) Dessert: Peach Cobbler After dinner and we got back to our room we had a beautiful gift basket waiting for us. Our room was beautiful. This hotel is amazing, very small. The receptionist greets you by name as you enter or leave the hotel. The bed linens were so heavy it weighed down my toes when I got in bed, lol.
