Wyndham Oceanside Pier Resort

Am so very tired, too tired to type...spent the day at Legoland, almost no queues all day which was great, but lots and lots of walking.


Sunny day there, but not too hot and not too cold either - I think we picked the perfect day for it.
J&K enjoyed the roller coasters there but they were very tame, nowhere near ...

... totally packed (it's the end of Thanksgiving so heaps of people are driving home) but we went out to the 'proper' Flying J restaurant and it was almost empty. Much better food, and again so much more than we could eat.

On the way to California passed through another massive wind farm - not as big as the one the other day, but since you drove through the middle of it, that just made it that much more impressive.

We've booked a more ...

... last 10 days.......not that I am complaining with the diet intake, but a soft chair with a real fork and knife was kind of special.
I told Linda "Don't get used to this" as we are leaving all out bookings as of tomorrow morning and hitting the road with nothing planned. I sense a real need for Burgers, Fries and Donuts to keep us kicking for the next 10 days on the east coast. She will love it......NOT!

We left at approx 23:00 after saying out goodbyes and hitting the ...

... train that was now speeding up again. I grabbed a rail, and jumped, hoping that at least one of my feet would land on the ...

Just me again, lots to fill you in on this week so I'll get straight to it! Tuesday we went for a day of pampering before flying to the US on Wednesday in the hope that we would look slightly more presentable! After some persuasion I decided to dye my hair blonde but it didn't really turn out too much different than before so all the fretting was for nothing, although I have been told it has a bit of a coppery tint to it now! On Wednesday we set off for the airport early and did ...

Hi Everybody, Good morning from the local Starbucks; no online connection at Nana's, though I did find one yesterday for a few hours for some reason. Would someone please explain to me how this internet business really works. Second attempt at this entry business. The news today is that sister Kathy has accepted our invitation to ride back with us tomorrow to see Colorado for the first time. She will be staying in ...

I am staying with Shuwen in LA. Was so happy to see her and was so glad she picked me up from the airport. My purchases from Amazon.com have all arrived at her home too... yuppie.. many new books to read. I can't wait to get to Legoland to buy all my Lego.

... more laundry and showering and to check out. And now here we are. The Internet cafe down the street...WAITING TO GET on our plane to New Zealand!!! It takes off 9:30pm California time on June 1st and lands at 5:15am New Zealand time on June 3rd. We wont be able to update the website or put pictures up for at least a week---most likely two. UNTIL then, we are off...we will be safe and yes try to meet some New Zealand All Blacks. Be back in a week or two!!

DAY 15 FRI We were woken at 6.15am by an old codger knocking on our door. Wrong room. The Casa Verde motel was under occupation by hordes of bikers who had come for a weekend of motorbike racing and took great pleasure in revving their engines no matter what the hour. I would have liked to remonstrate with them, however they were too big, even the women. Carmel, which we visited in the morning, proved to be a small, trendy ...

... Did you sell anything yet?" To which I would have to hollar back a couple times each time because she couldn't hear too well "No, I haven't sold anything." I did get a commission for my troubles but that was it. Anyway, back to the past. I parked by the Oceanside harbor near the beach for the night.
