LALALALA land


Stuck in Southern California; yes, life can be a hellish place, but I am tough and shall, as always, prevail...We arrived in the Los Angeles area on March 13th; today, on March 29th, we have managed to stay down at the oh so exclusive (a nice way of saying very stuck up) Redondo Yacht Club and Hotel, then we moved on to the much more pleasant and always promising happiest place on earth, the Grand California Hotel at Disneyland. Now, a bit homesick but not missing my absent kitchen and even more asbent minded soon to be exhusband, we are enjoying the very lovely, and I say that without ANY sarcasm, seriously--this place friggin' rocks--Huntington
Beach Hyatt Regency on the beach...it is so pristeen, so right out of the pages of a travel magazine, that I am still surprised that the people actually have personalities...funny though, the few folks we have managed to chat with more than once and actually find interesting, be it that we talk about them afterwards or actually befriended them because of their spunk and ability to keep up with our warped sense of humor,lol, have been mostly foriengers--from the UK, from Egypt, but never other Americans! Other peeps from here all seem so wrapped up in their own bubbles that most of them don't even manage to hear our "hello's", or they act surprised that we spoke to them in the first place, I don't know, call me a "hippie", but I like loving my neighbors and just wrapping to everyone I run into...makes for a much more interesting and diverse holiday, as our UK friends like to call their vacations....my older daughter, Danielle, flies in from Northern California on Monday, and we shall spend two days here, then back to Disneyland for more happiness and Mickey and Minnie and all that fun!!! Will my kitchen ever be finished??? The saga continues...
