My penultimate commute
I would have saved this for tomorrow, but that would have been my final commute to Temecula and it is so much more fun to say penultimate. Anyway, I wanted to document, for my memories as much as for anyone else’s edification, the glorious first 15 miles of my commute (or last 15, if I … Continue reading
San Diego
When I destroyed my new camera while stupidly wading into the Cabo surf with it still in my pocket, I thought that the photos on the memory card would be intact. But I failed in several attempts to read the files from the card. Then I lost the card. After being on the damn-I-wonder-what-I-did-with-that list … Continue reading
Easy Come, Ez-Go
One of the tasks on our list of Things to Do Before We Head East is selling our Ez-Go golf cart. To do so, we posted “for sale” signs in all of the Rancho California laundry rooms, asking $1,600, which is what we paid. I figured that there would be limited, if any, interest and … Continue reading
Cabo San Lucas: The Town
Cabo San Lucas is more of a city than a town – the population is about 70,000 – but it still has a small-town feel. A small town with night clubs that are open until 6am. The thumping hip-hop rhythms carried well over the harbor to our hotel, but fortunately the balcony doors were tight … Continue reading
Cabo San Lucas: Snorkeling
During our week in Cabo we considered taking a sunset dinner cruise or the day trip to see the Hotel California (yes, the one in the Eagles song). We booked the sunset cruise, but cancelled due to a bout of Montezuma’s Revenge. But we did book – and took – a snorkeling cruise. Snorkeling in … Continue reading
Cabo San Lucas: The Playa Grande Resort
Since we missed the cold weather and all that ugly late-winter snow this year, some of you probably think that we didn’t need a spring vacation. You are probably right – we weren’t driven by that tired-of-all-this-crap weather weariness that we have experienced before. But one of the advantages(?) of owning a timeshare is … Continue reading
LA and other imaginary places
Los Angeles is real. I know; I’ve seen it. But it doesn’t seem real. It is bigger than real. The place of movie stars and the 4-car family. Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Mulholland Drive, Sunset Strip, Malibu, South Central, Disneyland, Charles Manson, Universal Studios, and the Beach Boys. Iconic names and images that shaped my life. … Continue reading
Jojoba Hills SKP RV Resort
Just down the road from where we are staying is the Jojoba Hills SKP RV Resort, one of the “co-op” RV parks associated with the Escapees RV Club. Staying there was not an option for us as non-owners are limited to 28 days per year, which ran a little short of the 4 months we … Continue reading
Getting away from it all
Jett and I love Mexico. It gets a lot of bad press with the drug violence, but everyplace we have been has been safe, beautiful and fun. There is an air of freedom in Mexico that I haven’t felt many places in the US. It is a good place to get away from it all. … Continue reading
