Motel 6 Carlsbad Downtown

... scary as anything at Disneyland or Knottsberry Farm - geared for a much younger crowd.

Anyway am just going to post pics and videos and that's it, then to bed!
We fly out tomorrow evening...sad to be leaving but will be great to be in our own beds again.

Goodbye USA, until we meet again.

... the powers-that-be have to save money by putting embarrassingly short doors on their stalls? And if the doors aren't short, they have huge gaps between the door and frame so that you still feel exposed to every person in the bathroom!
Arrived at the hotel around 6pm – gained an extra hour when we went over a time zone change – so at least a reasonably short driving day today....tomorrow, Legoland!
Bring on the roller coasters...

... automated zombies on speed...no sooner would we finish one task than our eyes and minds were locked onto the next thing..the beauty we were creating in our home had no time to be enjoyed and we consoled ourselves with the fact that we would enjoy the fruits of our labour when we returned from our trip. Wonderful neighbours and friends turned up at odd times to help with whatever and for this we are extremely grateful ...

NOW THEREFORE, YOU CAN EXPECT ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS, THROUGH HA MASCHYACH KURIAKOS YESHUA, THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM, WHO HAS ALREADY GONE INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES, ON OUR BEHALF, THROUGH THE ETERNAL SPIRIT SACRIFICING HIS OWN PRECIOUS INNOCENT LIFE TO DO IT, IN THE OF OFFERING HIS OWN BLOOD RANSOM AND ATONEMENT, THAT WE MIGHT BE PARTNERS WITH HIM, IN THE RECONCILLIATION OF MAN TO THE ONENESS OF GOD, WHO EVER LIVES ...

... to go in there. We asked Diptesh to shoot for a while showing our daring. Diptesh started taking the video and on count of three we all were inside the pool. We all felt so cold that we were pulling each other to get out first. After getting out of the water we went back in to the warm water. After that Meeta didi and Audi left to watch jab we met and Geet, Karan, Kunal and Diptesh sat there for another hour and were talking about the ...

... every spot of the carrier. This was the biggest ship I'd ever been on. Lot's of aircraft and things to look at, it was enjoyable. We started the walk back, and got sidetracked at Anthony's Seafood Grotto! It's out over the bay so we stopped and enjoyed the refreshment and the view. All kind of vessels coming and going, like Kema, Texas but better! later ....Gene

... back to the hostel where the other three were waiting. Emily and Dave decided to go to dinner by themselves and we traipsed back to the mall, this time with Fianait in tow to see who else we could spot. We ended up sitting in a cafe while all the celebrities walked past us and into the night club so got an even better view this time, although we were still none the wiser as to who most of them were! Yesterday we were San Diego bound but we spent the morning driving through ...

... used a finger to push the paint around. And the buildings are amazing, didn't take many photos of the art works, although you can of most of them so long as no flash, which because of the dim light (to protect the paintings) means it's kinda pointless. But I did enjoy looking at the buildings and got some cool photos. Decided around 2ish to head south to San Diego, LA traffic ... being parked on Freeways in the ...

Hey Guys, Rushed back to LA this morning for a special party I had been invited to. It was the strangest thing, after leaving Ami at the airport, I started chatting to this guy on the bus called Brett. Turns out he was good fiends with Tracey Montgomery who is the film commissioner (ie CEO) for Ausfilm, the Governement funded company which encourages films to be made in Australia. As a was an Aussie, not knowing anybody in LA he called Tracey to see what parties ...

... unsuitable for swimming. We stopped for coffee along the way at a one-building town called Lucia, famous for being nothing but a one-building town. As we dove towards San Simeon we could see the castle-like spires of Willie's folly peeking through the trees on a distant peak. At the foot of the hill was a large embarkation complex where one could view exhibits of the Hearst family's exploits while waiting to visit the castle ...
