random thoughts ..... =)
Getting older had me thinking a couple of months ago. I have never taken a vacation.... ok maybe once or twice but haven't gone anywhere in the last couple of years. Something always has happened keeping us close to home. But as time becomes a factor I at least began to think of stuff. I would want nothing more for my wife and I to get away, I think we deserve that. We have been putting up with each other for twenty years, including three daughters,a son, family issues, and jobs. Knowing that our days are numbered, staying in one place for an exended period of time may be unhealthy. I mean if you have a number and someone knows where you live, you would think it would be harder to hit a moving target. So on the way we went .... San Diego here we come!!!
note:
San Diego commuters are fast ... not that I minded for good reason. The minute you jump upon Interstate 8 or 5 ... you best have all ready found the accelerator pedal. There must be a lot of Nascar fans here, because people will draft you, bump draft you on the straight aways and over all look displeased if you act anything like a tourist. If you happen to be going with the flow of traffic ( say 85 mph) your exit comes up in a hurry. If you haven't done your homework, reading maps using Sea world as an example.... you could end up in Oxnard before you know it. What amazes me is that I have never seen an accident, or a California highway patrol officer setting the pace,especially when you are going 30 MPH over the speed limit.
Once you finally are lucky enough to get where you are going, I have noticed signs requiring that we pay a fee in order to park in the lot. So why in the world would a person be charged a fee in order to shop at a store? Even at a cvs drugstore I saw a pay box in the parking lot. A sign attached to this box read, " First hour inside store is free for all customers, therafter, pay the $ 2.00 per hour in advance and write your space number upon envelope provided" all unauthorized vehicles will be towed away at owners expense. Now wait a frigging minute! This drugstore wants you to spend time in their store, but hurry up? Silliest thing I have ever heard of.
