Santa Cruz Villager Lodge

... after the IMS show (also planning the trip, escaping work and being a bit under the weather), Dee Dee drove us the long stretch back home to Fairfield.

Azrael loved his pizza too and also cleaned his plate. The pizzas were so good, they left us wanting! You won’t believe this.... we actually went ahead and ordered yet ANOTHER 10” pizza!!! We thought we’d have a couple of slices each and takeaway the rest. But alas, we cleaned the plate on that one too!!! It was just too good!!! And I didn’t even feel like exploding! I can’t quite decide if it is because the pizza is so delicious and quite light ...

While visiting family in Northern California, we took a day to go to the beach (Seabright) in Santa Cruz. Of course, Pasha came with us! It was incredibly windy, but the sky was clear and blue. The temperature was in the mid-50s. Pasha played with the kids and sometimes huddled under a blanket. She even met a wiener dog named Frankie. Even though *technically* we weren't supposed ...

... or apartment in San Francisco you will need to pay at least 600,00-700,00! Many properties are well over a million. On to Santa Cruz... (Thursday) Santa Cruz was a short drive for us. It took us about 2 hours to get here and we had our campsite set up by 2PM. The area is really beautiful. We are on Sunset State Beach and the area is surrounded by Mountainous Sand Dunes. The closest town is Watsonville and we are totally surrounded by ...

... plus multiple week-end trips. So Santa Cruz really was my second home. I often got to take friends or nieces/nephews who were close to my age with me. We always had one pizza night at a real pizza parlor (i.e. not a chain)...do those even exist any more? For a special treat, on occasion, we got to go to The Shadowbrook restaurant where you can take a cable car down to the restaurant itself, and a tree grows right through part of the building. Sometimes we'd go to the Santa Cruz ...

Although I managed to snag a few hours of sleep, I was an exhausted (albeit excited) mess when I woke up this morning and have been running around like a madwoman ever since. Thirty minutes before we had to leave the house, I finally began to cram the mounds of zip lock bags that lay scattered on the floor into my backpack. Miraculously, everything fit and there even was a little room to spare! Granted, my plane outfit consisted of my heaviest clothes and massive hiking boots, and ...

Despite flying issues in the recent past, the flight from PDX to SFO was very smooth. With the exception of one noisy child and a bit of stomach queasiness (the result of medical issues, not flight), the trip was very pleasing. Airports are well-known Meccas of people-watching wonders. My current observation is that of the extensive reliance on cell phones of the current traveling population. At any given time I can look around and be guaranteed to catch a significant ...

... terror is a hero and more." (George MacDonald) I assume this pertains to women as well and I agree. There's a Thai lady in our room who's ******* in her sleep. She also took my key card and returned it the next morning, after I'd spent a couple hours going through EVERYTHING I might have touched.
