Adventure Logan

We arrived in San Diego on Wednesday night  at 7:30 PM (about 11:30 PM Dartmouth time) after a great day of travel. Both flights were good and the first one from Sarasota to Atlanta included an offer to take our carry-on bag along with the other luggage and to send them through to San Diego. I quickly moved the drugs and jewels (LOL) into my purse and we only had my purse and the laptop bag to handle.

Having supper at the Atlanta airport (please note,Trevor my nephew from Coke, that I stayed with the drink Coke products only rule – but then again it was hard to avoid – the Delta service was all Coke products including the festive Coke bears napkins but then again Atlanta is  the headquarters for both Coke and Delta)

Dave with the luggage was we waited for the courtesy shuttle to take us to our hotel.

The Star of India (150 year old steel ship) that is part of the San Diego Maritime Museum. This pic was taken from the glass elevator in our hotel.

After breakfast this morning we took a walk to see the USS Midway which is another museum along the bay front area outside our hotel.

Along the same walk was a statue The Kiss based on the Life Magazine picture (there is one in Sarasota as well but I am not sure if they are done by the same person)

On our return to the hotel we booked seats on the Historic Trolley Tour of San Diego. It is a 2 hour tour that allows passengers to get on and off at its 11 stops. Since the weather was threatening showers, we opted to stay on for the whole 25 mile loop and see all the sights from the trolley. Our tour guide, Richard, a former (possibly retired) minister did a super job of telling the interesting history of this city.

Tomorrow we head out on our cruise (15 days through the Panama Canal). I am hoping to be able to post while on the ship but on the chance that I cannot Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
