High times
On vacation.
Met JAR on Wednesday. Its so good to meet up again. He hasnt changed much. At least not in looks. I do look forwards to his hair cut appointment on Tuesday cos I know he will look much much better then. Thats the thing about guys....they dont know the precious worth of a good hair stylist.
We drove thru the LA Friday traffic towards Catalina jetty. JAR had carefully estimated the time we would need for the trip, except that he had no idea that there would be a big traffic mess on the 10. We detoured but still did not manage to escape the bad jam. We finally made it to the passenger entrance at 4.58 for the 5 o'clock ferry. The final boarders and we carried our own bags too. The earlier passengers had their bags placed in a separate compartment. Noe thats a blood rushing entrance if u need one. (however, my adventures with JAR has prepared me enough for this....we VERY often have these dramatic arrivals and entrances).
Santa Catalina is a wonderful place for a holiday. No busy streets, very few cars, lots of shops.....downside is its expensive! You could rent golf carts and drive yourself around. We did and we saw the island from so many angles. You could also get on bus tours on a 1950's bus....thats also fun but a little boring if u do not get a window seat.
Food....there's some marvellous retaurants there too. Our masseurs recommended us to eat at Steve's....and it was a good choice. We had the clam chowder, kebabs specials and for desert, we had the delicious mud pies! I'd go there again!
The weekend ended way too fast but JAR sprung another surprise when he got us to leave not on the ferry but on a helicopter!!! This is maybe my third heli ride with JAR...one over the Grand canyon, the second was when we left the Colorado River ride down the canyon and now this.
Since I've been here, we've seen a couple of movies (Lion for Lambs, Bee Movie)....which I have also enjoyed. JAR also took me to eat my all time favourite Tri Tip Roast (on my first night here...he always does that, pleasing me and making me so welcomed!)
I am on a high right now even tho there has been some tears. The great thing is we've had a few heart-to-heart talks the past few nights.
Time to sign out. Vacations are high times!
