Now in Ventura, CA

As of this afternoon, we are now in Ventura, CA. Santa Barbara was a very nice place and we really enjoyed it but it was a little too much of a party town at the motel. (A little like Whistler actually.) We didn’t get much sleep at the motel so we decided to move. We […]

There be pelicans here!

I finally got my photos of the pelicans and I think I went a little overboard… Oh well, the locals say that it is very rare that there are so many pelicans in the area so I might as well document it as best I can. Here are some of the photos. There are some […]

A few pictures of Santa Barbra

Hi all,

Oceanside in Santa Barbara, CA

We are now in Santa Barbara, CA. We took the long way via Sunset Blvd. (Historic Route 66 – see picture) and Highway 1 after LA. We drove right through Malibu! Malibu was very nice and I think probably an excellent place to live if you could afford a house/condo on the beach. I will […]

Pool side in Palm Springs, CA

Hi everyone,

We are now in Palm Springs, CA. The Motel 6 is room is good – no funky smells and the carpet looks safe enough to walk on in bare feet. What can I tell you – I’m a little anal about carpets…

We will be staying here tomorrow night as well. Mike and […]

Sitting in Phoenix, AZ

Hi everyone,

We are now in a Motel 6 in Phoenix, CA. It was a short drive today from Yuma. We will be heading back to California tomorrow to stay in Palm Springs for a day or two. Yuma just wasn’t for us and I don’t think Phoenix is either. We need the ocean! We […]

Still travelling

We are now in Yuma, AZ. It was a 4 1/2 hour drive from Santa Ana, CA. It was a hot drive and quite boring for most of it. We did see quite a few border patrols, especially along the fence separating the US and Mexico. The sand dunes along the highway were kind of […]

Still sunny and warm

Hi everyone,

We changed our minds about going to Riverside or Bakersfield. We are now in Santa Ana, CA and will be staying here tomorrow as well. Guess what Mom – we are just down from the John Wayne Airport! We might swing by the airport so I can get that picture of the John […]
