Trip to California

The first portion of our trip was a journey unto itself.

We were not sure about heading into a fire zone as reported by CNN.

Steve ended up doing so much more than his share to get us going on our trip as I was finding it difficult to function normally with my hand immobilized.

Unfortunately our travel family was not able to join us on this trip as planned.

We ran into the Catch 22 of standby travel on our first day. The flight to Los Angeles only had room for three of us ( a small inconvenience for continued employment )

We decided that Steve, Nicole and Amanda would fly out together and Sam and I would take the flight the following day. It was a great opportunity to have a fun girls night together.

Once we all made it to San Diego the wild fires were under control , and all the parks were open for visiting, but from Highway 5 it was clear the divesting effect the fires had wrought.

We started out at Sea World.
