COOL CALIFORNIA

Friday, July 13, 2007

California is “cool” in more ways than one but the weather is especially cool. In my opinion you can’t find better weather, year round, than in San Diego.

The Coronado Bay Resort is a great place to stay. It’s a little too expensive and a little “fancy” for an old “Okie” like me, but it was good for me to “rub shoulders” with the upper crust for a few days. The staff at the resort is at your beck and call—your wish is their command. I was afraid to slow down when walking by one of them, afraid that they would drop to their knees and start shining my shoes.

Ah, the good life!

Laying by the pool feeling the gentle breeze, relaxing in the spa, stuffing myself over a mountain of food at the breakfast buffet, strolling leisurely through the shops at Seaport Village, watching the waves wash upon the beach or just having Charlotte by my side instead of glued to her computer for hours, was a great delight.

We went to the cool. We came back to the heat. It was good to go, it was better to come back. It may be trite, but it’s true—“There’s no place like home.”
