On the Road Again .., Goodbye San Diego

As with with Tucson, I am finding it hard to say bye-bye to San Diego. It is such a beautiful city with lots of things to do. I can imagine myself living here (if I didn't say that already) -- with the sun, surf, sand. And as the San Diego visitors' guide says: San Diego - 365 days of aaaahh. Yes, my host mom says it's bright and sunny all year round.

Terry, my host mom (her husband is out of town...) travelled with Up With People in 1985. And it was so fun exchanging stories with her , and getting a glimpse of how Up With People was back then. Imagine, during their time, it was one whole year of travelling! My roommate this time was Nikki from Hawaii.

Today was free day and we were able to visit Coronado island (home of the posh Hotel del Coronado and the Navy SEALs) and then.. SEA WORLD! Terry's friend Dwayne gave us free tickets :-) so we went around with Dwayne, Jeff (from Taiwan) and Lucas (from Belgium).

Our first ride was the Shipwreck Rapids -- where we all got soaked! Then we also saw the Dolphin Show, the Shamu show (yey!) plus the Wild Arctic ride.

I guess I have a new dream job now -- yep, dolphin trainer!

Ah, we dropped by a place overlooking San Diego before going home and I think I got a great shot of Nikki there ;-)

Tomorrow at 7am, we go to Corcoran, California...
