Tomorrow I will be leaving my house at 4 a.m. to begin my long journey to the West coast. By noon or perhaps a little after, I will be in San Diego California wondering how I am so damn lucky. I will spend the week body-boarding, riding bikes along the pier, hiking in La Jolla, shopping in a huge flea market, and eating delicious west coast edibles.I still really can't believe this is happening. This has been a goal of mine since I was a little kid and now I finally get to experience it. After all, the last time I was in California I was five years old and I cried and threw a tantrum when Shamu splashed me at Sea World. Not quite a dream vacation. But this time will be different. I will get a feel for the place. I will experience the vibes and see if I feel at home there the way I always thought I would. I will try to update from the road, but no promises seeing as I'm traveling with carry-on luggage only and I don't know if my laptop is going to fit.
