Activity: Shopping State: California City: San Diego Mission Valley May, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Got four hours to clothes shop at the Fashion Valley Mall without the kids. Got a pair of white pants from Express that fit perfectly - nice and stretchy. Got a couple of saucy tops and a pair of white shoes from Nordy's. Was exhausted by the end of it. I'm not in shopping condition! Anyway, fun but not the most productive. |

Activity: Golf State: California City: San Diego Solana Beach June, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Didn't play that great on the front nine but did better on the back. Course is really short. Only two par 4s. I should play here more to work on my short game. Putting was awful. Missed about 4 within 2 feet! Nice day with Ben and Masha though. |

Activity: Work/School State: New Jersey City: Newark EWR Newark Airport 2006 |
Experience Repeatability |
Newark is a valid alternative to JFK or LaGuardia if going to NYC, but never pleasant. The biggest problem is the bus wait to get into the city from the airport; the lines can be long and if in winter, it's a COLD wait. From EWR into NYC, the most popular stop is at Port Authority on 42nd and 8th, however there are other destinations as well. See www.newarkairport for more info. |

Activity: Work/School State: California City: Los Angeles LAX Airport 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
LAX is surprisingly efficient for servicing such a large city. The parking lots are close to the terminals, and I recommend Lot 3. Remember the international terminal is called Bradley. MAKE SURE TO GET THERE MIN. 1.5 hrs. before - they are very strict. |

Activity: Bars/Clubs State: California City: San Diego Trisler's Wine Bar May, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Nice wine bar close to Qualcomm Stadium. The owner was very friendly, and the fruity wines are very tasty. Best is the ambience - everything is wood and mellow lighting. More info at: www.trislerswinebar.com. Address: 8555 Station Village Lane, San Diego, CA. |

Activity: Diving State: Washington City: Seattle Edmonds Underwater Park November, 2006 |
Experience Repeatability |
Terrific shore dive in Seattle. Tons of huge lingcod, bass, cabezons. Good sized wreck at south of the underwater park. Explored the tubes, propellor, and the wreck. Didn't go north around the rock jetty, that'll be for another time, but plenty to see south of it. Great place - can't wait to come back. Next time - add a couple pounds because relatively shallow. |

Activity: Diving State: California City: San Diego La Jolla Cove October, 2006 |
Experience Repeatability |
Warm, good visibility, but too shallow :( Didn't see a lot of interesting stuff - maybe more vibrant in the winter? Creatures: big green-camouflage lingcod, fat lobsters, fat garibaldi. See freedraw for route. |

Activity: Work/School State: Illinois City: Chicago ORD Chicago O'Hare Airport 2006 |
Experience Repeatability |
Under construction is the dominant theme. Getting from one terminal to another is a mix of buses and walking through scaffolding and drywall. It may have improved over the last year, but in my 3 times flying in, found it challenging as a connection stop, and vaguely unpleasant as a final destination/ check-in airport. |
