California or BUST






My trip to California to meet up with Family and drive my sister back to NJ was a pleasant expereince. All air travel was successful with only a slight later departure due to traffic in Newark. Almost missed my connectiong flight in Pheonix, but it all worked out just fine. I was met in San Diego by my sister. It was a happy reunion. It was nice to be back in my "home" state for a visit. I toured SD, had wonderful authentic mexican food, which I miss here in NJ. Family time was also fun. We took great family photos and a good time was had by all. I saw my old stomping grounds in Riverside and toured my high school. GO EAGLES! We left SD early Tuesday morning and made it back to NJ on schedule with no problems. We hit some heavy rain driving through OK, but it didn't slow us down too much. We hit road construction the whole way across the lower states, but somehow managed to make it up the last day driving through PA, even after getting lost on the TP for over an hour. We actually got home much sooner that Friday than expected. WE spent long days in the car driving; 10:00 a.m- midnight everyday. It was tough, but it was worth it to get home on time. Tina has adjusted fine. WE got her room set up, bought her bed and dresser, which I assembled, purchased from IKEA. That was a chore, but I was happy to do it, and her thanks and gratitude were much appreciated. The kids are thrilled having her here. The BUZZ has not worn off yet.
