SAN DIEGO - Part 5 - MISCELLANEOUS....

We saw so much in four days, it is hard to believe.  One really neat place was Coronado Island and the Coronado Hotel.  It is huge, very pricey, and very beautiful.  It is, supposedly, the oldest all wooden resort hotel in the country.  Only the rich and famous go there.    We went as far as the lobby, then decided we had better leave, or we might have to pay to get out.  We also passed the Coronado Island Naval Base.  My son Andy was stationed there for a bit while in the navy, so it was neat being able to see the base as we went by.

The next few pictures are of several different things we saw in our time there - The Bob Hope area I told you about, the aircraft carrier Midway in the background behind the sailor and the nurse,
some of the bougainvillea in bloom, and a "lady of the night"

 

The last picture I am sharing is of the lady Pirate that we ran into down at the waterfront.  She was pretty neat.  Not often you see a lady Pirate.

On Sunday our friends Kay and Brenda arrived in S.D., we went to Old Town to have supper, and were serenaded at our table as we ate.  How neat.  On Monday we checked out of our hotel and took the shuttle to the waterfront and the Cruise ship terminal.   The next 13 days were our Hawaiian adventure, four days cruising to Hawaii, five days on the Islands and four days cruising back to San Diego.

These three segments were adventures in themselves, and some time in the future I will tell you all about it - Rough seas, Volcanoes, Tsunami warnings, rougher seas, shipboard happenings, all my daughter could think about back home was the movie "Poseidon Adventure". 

As you can see, we all survived, have many stories to tell, and actually had a wonderful time.  Maybe it is because we are nuts to begin with, but we had fun.

Laughter and fun makes the world go 'round, and we had a lot of both.  I wish everyone could have as many adventures as we have had, and lived to tell about them.  Have a good week and God Bless.
