January 11, 2008 ~ SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
We’ll, we’ve come full-circle! Here we are back in Carlsbad after leaving 16 months ago. We arrived here after stopping in Palms Springs and at the Fountain of Youth Spa near the Salton Sea. Had always heard about it and decided to check it out on the way to San Diego County. I guess we didn’t spend enough time there, as neither of us looks more youthful after our stay! We moved on to the State Park at So. Carlsbad Beach where we secured a temporary position as Camp Host. It wasn’t our first choice, and after spending some time here, we’re fairly certain we won’t make this choice again. Retired people aren’t supposed to work 5 days a week, even if they are only partial days!! We’re supposed to have all kinds of leisure time! But, between work, the sale of our things, and trying to spend as much time as possible with family and friends in the short time we have here, we have a full schedule. On a positive note, it has allowed us to accomplish our mission; to visit family for the holidays (this is the BEST Christmas present), and to get rid of the rest of our stuff. Also, being right here on the bluff above the ocean has afforded me some nice photo ops which are included in the So. Carlsbad St Bch album. For those of you whom we missed this visit, we’re disappointed we had so little time. As Arnold says, ‘we’ll be back’. Our next gig is on the Northern Cal. coast, so we’ll post again when we settle in.
