Santa Ana Plaza Hotel

... out for dinner at a restaurant next door and had an early night.

We have included some photos of the beautiful, spacious 3 bedroom unit that we are currently staying in and still can't believe how lucky we are to have got this timeshare exchange.

Talk to you all soon,

... we arrive at the airport at 5:25am. I check in and American Airlines now charges me for my 2nd bag, $25. I get through security and to my gate in 15 minutes. Nothing beats John Wayne, so reliable. Our plane is the second in line behind a private jet. We have to wait until 7am to take off due to the noise ordnance in Orange County (Newport Beach). We take off and 4 hours later, we land.

... to the ticket booth and received upgraded tickets in the Blue knights section with extras. No matter our knight was beaten we enjoyed the evening anyway. Came home again worn out and Rick attempted to "fix" the blog. Then some sleep! We have managed to sort the correct order and upload photos so check out the site/blog and feel free to leave a comment.

... to rest. I had been once again deemed too sick... *sigh* When we headed back to the parks it was night time. We went into DCA because I wanted to go on the sun wheel at night, and Chris wanted to go on Screamin' at night. So we did. We eventually headed back into Disneyland, tonight we were going to watch the fireworks and ...

... of Anaheim was too busy watching the TV and paid little attention to what the weather was like out the window. With a three day hopper pass already paid for, we threw caution to the wind and hit Disneyland nice and early. It think we arrived just after opening. The Disneyland shuttle was pretty full on the way to the park, but that was about the last we saw of any crowd. No queues at the gates. We pretty much just walked up, scanned the ...

... for the next two nights, but I'm going to go to San Diego instead. I've always wanted to go to the zoo and I'm not sure when I'll be in California again. I will, however, be in Vegas next summer to see Bette Midler's show, and since I was just there in May, I decided to opt out. If I did the zoo and Vegas, I'd be sacrificing time with my friends. Soooooo, I think this is the final plan. I'm landing in Santa Ana at 3:00 this afternoon. I've ...

... hour or three for a fleeting encounter with nemo and dory, you enjoy yourself, and you consume willfully, and you shout out when you see your home country, even so poorly represented. and you will yourself to be frightening by ghosts and yetis.

you spend way too much money on a park it feels like you just left. you ride all the same rides even more times, take photos of the same mouse suits. and you (and I) do so willingly, because this is the happiest place on ...

... extra special immigration check in the basement (luckily my visit to Syria just prompted additional inane questions as opposed to the dreaded snap of a latex glove), I made it back to the US without major incident and was greeted by Dave and Joanie's welcome sign and a much needed bottle of crown. After my Texas tour it was back to San Francisco and the process of aquiring the stuff you think you need to resume a "normal" life. In the process ...

We woke up after our Husky beating celebration with sticky brains and Per Diem in our pockets. Band-o's couldn't be happier. Our obligations after breakfast included napping, eating and playing a "battle of the Bands" before the first Semi-final game. I'm not biased or anything but we were totally the best band there. Arizona was good too.... Cal and UCLA were not so impressive. UCLA sent Arizona home that evening, we lost to Cal in double Overtime ...

... deja tres serre, je ne peux pas me permettre de prendre un vol plus tard! Vite sur le telephone, la panique,j'appelle Air Canada. En effet, ils ont annules mon vol et le seul qui aurait pu potentiellement fonctionner pour ma correspondance est 1 hr plus tard...un petit peu tard pour le savoir sachant que je dois partir de Boucherville..on oublie ca.
