Sad to leave San Diego! We delayed leaving by stopping off at Mission Beach before starting the drive to Palm Springs. Totally different drive this time, into the desert. Adz loved it! Drove through a windmill farm...there were thousands of windmills randomly in the middle of the desert! At times it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere! Our hotel gave us complimentary early check in, which was nice as the hotel was rammed and we had just done a pretty lon...

Up early for the zoo...first time I've had to set the alarm all holiday. Naturally, we woke up an hour beforehand so didn't even need the alarm! Had our freebie breakfast which was yum. Probably even more so because it was free. Got to the zoo just before it opened so were one of the first in. Some crazy Anerican commented that I was in shorts because it was meant to be cold today (it was going to be 70 degrees as opposed to 75). I quickly explained that I wa...

I love San Diego! We arrived a little before check in so we headed to Old Town, which is a few minutes away from our hotel. It was buzzing and full of people mooching around. It is very Mexican, although touristy. Had a good old wander around before heading back to our hotel. So our hotel....wow! Its decked out polynesian style and is so gorgeous. The hotel couldn't do enough for us...free wifi, breakfast & parking, all of which we were planning to pay fo...

Touristy stuff today! Took a cab downtown to the Chinese Theatre and wondered down the Walk of Fame. Stopped off for a MaccyD's brekkie (I dont do breakfast but the hub was hungry) and in walks Minnie Mouse. Seriously - saunters straight up to the counter, orders, then leaves. As you do. Jumped on a bus tour to see the sights rather than drive it ourselves - traffic yesterday was horrific. Rodeo Drive, Hollywood Sign, Melrose Avenue, Beverley Hills, Sunset Stri...

Chill day today, slept in then headed to the pool to lie on a giant bed and sunbathe! Lazy lunch, more sun and swimming before getting the hotel trolley to City Walk for a mooch & dinner. Did a bit of shopping & had a lovely mexican meal. Adz had fajitas (standard) and they gave us free mexican wedding cookies. Yum! Left room for mini donuts which are one of my fave things in the world!
