Donne eats her words.


Remember how Donne made fun of me about the fireplace in our hotel room?

The sun! Blue sky! Welcome back, friends!

The sun came out this afternoon! I was optimistic that it would make an appearance today. Donne was not. So, I win. Ha! Here are some pictures (as proof!) of Laguna Beach. And as you'll see, we went in the pool today as well! And there's one of Donne updating the blog - just so you can really picture us while you read!









About the bathroom thing...

Donne lies. However, when you drink 3 gallons or so of Coke (not something I'm proud of, but it was all in my SeaWorld souvenir cup!), you do tend to need to go a lot.

Also, World War 3 is just a little bit of an exaggeration. Donne just simply does not always go in the direction that I'm pointing. She is directionally challenged.

Odds and Ends...

Hey all... a quick hello from Donne :)
Just a few lines to let you all know that Im still alive... First thing is first, driving... I now understand how it is possible for 2 people to be perfectly happy one minute, but the second you chuck them in a car together and ask them to get from point A to point B, world war 3 breaks out! It has been agreed that its a great thing Charlotte turns 25 next year... as theres no way Im driving in this country again!!
A few things Ive learnt about Charlotte and Id like to share with you all... she needs the bathroom every 30 minutes! And Im not exagerating!! I feel confident I have tried out every possible bathroom in Southern California. Another Charlotte fact... she is Decisionally Challenged! Ive never met a person who changes her mind SO many times when making simple choices like what to eat for dinner...
But all that aside.. shes a great travel buddy! I wake up in the morning and ask, 'whats planned for today' .. she seems to know the right way ALL THE TIME, which is actually kinda irritating...

Right... as my French Vanilla coffee (the best thing about this country!) is now getting cold, Im gonna climb into bed and pass out soon as its passed my bedtime (9pm!!)

Laguna Beach

Well today was a nice lazy day (which is why we have time to post a couple of blogs!!) A bit about Laguna Beach... Its a beautiful little seaside resort, which seems to revolve around 2 things... the beach, and art! And as it turns out, if the sun does not shine in this place, then nobody comes out! Luckily the sun made a brief appearance at round 1:43pm (I know this time because its when we were waiting for the bus and Charlotte was being chatted up by some American bloke chewing gum).

Now with a place called Laguna Beach, one would assume a nice walk on the sand, with an ice cream in hand might be easy enough... not so! An approximate total of 76 minutes was spent searching for ice cream yesterday afternoon!! What seaside resort does not sell ice cream?!?! We had to settle with a second rate store bought ice cream, which was purchased at a Liquor Store of all places, cos nowhere else was open! Welcome to California!!

Where has the sun gone?

The sun has gone away :( Today is the first day that the sun has not been out. Hopefully it will come out later! Here are some photos from San Diego.

Disneyland and SeaWorld and all places inbetween!

We are now in San Diego and have reached the half way point of our holiday. We spent the last couple of days in Disneyland and today we went to SeaWorld. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure!
