Here it is: my first official blog from on the road. I am currently sitting in my hotel room in San Diego. I should add that it is kind of a swanky hotel, right on the ocean. It comes complete with a high rise tower, an ocean view and a balcony. This morning we had breakfast in bed while listening to the seagulls. It’s hard to get much better than that!
We went to the San Diego Zoo today. I really forgot how huge that zoo is. I also apparently forgot that it’s not always easy walking. We were quite literally hiking at some points. And huffing. And puffing. It was a tiny bit hot and whenever we were in the sun we were baking. I felt like I was getting burned on the back of my neck, even though I had lathered on SPF 30 that morning and every chance I got during the day. Luckily, I was wrong and I didn’t get burned.
This was my first live and in person view of a Giant Panda. They keep the female and male separated and there were no baby panda viewings today. The female, who is apparently going into heat, was crashed out…I got some stellar photos of her butt. The male was at first munching on some bamboo, but we didn’t get over in time to really witness that. The second time we went back to the exhibit he was asleep behind a log. I got a cute photo of that (which will all have to wait to be posted - I forgot my USB cable).
Since our lunch at the zoo was rather unremarkable, we ate dinner at The Melting Pot. That was absolutely fabulous. I know that we have at least one in the Valley and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a different, yet scrumptious meal.
Now on to the cold, our shower is apparently only spitting out cold water. Not sure why as this morning it was fine. I hope tomorrow morning it is okay. I would not want to walk around Sea World all day without having a shower.
Don’t know if I’ll be able to blog from Anaheim. If not, I’ll update with all the news of Sea World and Disneyland after I get home on Wednesday night.
