4月30日 I have arrived!A quick note to say that I have arrived safely after a very uneventful flight. Time was tight in Sydney but I made it, and once I arrived in LA, I was inundated with people wanting to help, so I made it to San Diego easily by train. Maybe not the quickest way, but it was cheap and I think a scenic route along the coast (I kept falling asleep).
Checked out the USS Midway yesterday, the huge decommissioned carrier which is now a floating musuem. Most amazing was the cramped sleeping quarters for the non-officers, and the showers in the officers bathrooms which had a jet fuel pipe running through each of them! On the flight and hanger decks there were lots of restored aircraft and they were pretty impressive too.
After a poor excuse for a run this morning along the waterfront (doesn't take long to lose it), I took an Old Town Trolley Tour, which is one of those narrated hop-on hop-off tours around all of the key areas in the city. Coronado Island was pretty impressive - a completely decadent hotel has been built over there, and amongst other things, on the beach infront, vegetated sand dunes have been formed to spell Coronado. The beach was pretty nice, although it was difficult to see too far along due to the smog. Apparently the Navy train along here most mornings. My first actual stop was the Zoo and I spent a few hours there. My favourite (and also the ugliest) animal there was the red river hog, this dreadlocked, long-eared, orange pig. Admittedly not too much to offer the world in the looks department! I also stopped in the Old Town for what I expect was the first of many meals with refried beans as a side!
Apart from that, I'll probably head to the Gaslamp District for dinner, and then it's off to Mexico in the morning. The plan is to spend a couple of nights (I think) in Ensenada.
Hope you're all well,
Megs 4月24日 My itinerary - a rough guide!This is as good as it gets - a rough guide to what I am planning to do over the next few months... I realise that not all of the days/dates add up properly at the beginning, but at least I have something written down on paper!!
Some things are more planned than others (thanks must go to Anna!), and I think all up it's going to be a pretty good trip.
So please keep in touch, and I will do my best to keep everyone up to date. (Lisa - if you only read this, you should get the gist and won't have to read any other updates!!)
