How I Spent My Winter Vacation - Part Four
February 10 was my last full day in San Diego. My plans for the day had changed rapidly. Originally I was to meet Judy and Lisa, two women I knew from our mutual love of Owen/Cristina, in the morning. Lisa was taking the train from LA and Judy would pick up both of us and we'd eat. But then Judy's kids got sick and so did she.
So Lisa and I tried to figure out how to meet up - and I tried to figure out what to do with the rest of my day. When Judy...

How I Spent My Winter Vacation - Part Three
February 9 was another beautiful day in San Diego. By this point, I'd forgotten what bitter cold feels like.
We went to a restaurant with a gluten-free menu - 's daughter is celiac and was thrilled to have another GF person visiting. The GF cinnamon roll pancakes were awesome.
Before heading out to the zoo, I took pictures of clover. Because I was in love with all the greenness of San Diego.

The Northern Lights
One thing that Calgary has over California is the Northern Lights. I've long admired a coworker's photography and wished I had the nerve to chase Northern Lights like he does.
Normally, there's a cloud cover when an aurora watch is issued. Tonight there wasn't. And I decided that for once, I'd go for it. I grabbed my trusty Lumix and a tripod and set off for a nearby park area.
And now I'm going to b...

How I Spent My Winter Vacation - Part Two
The original reason to go to San Diego was the Mermaid Marathon. I thought it would be a good reason to get up and start moving after surgery in the fall. I chose the 5K race because I wasn't sure how much stamina I'd recover by race time.
What makes it a "mermaid" marathon is that 99% of the entrants were female, from a grand and wise mermaid in robes to lots of giggling mini-mermaids.
Since P lured me to San Diego for the marathon, she walked...

How I Spent My Winter Vacation - Part One
This is how it will go - I'll post a recap of each day, with photos to illustrate, but I won't post all of the photos from each day at once. I will post the others one at a time, later, so I can still share them but not overwhelm one post with too many.
Note: the Jedi camera doesn't want to turn on, I tried it with two fully charged battery packs. I'll take it into a shop - it may be as simple as the date/time battery needing to be replaced. My...

Days 37-42
Tired after a long day of travel and crashing on a guest bed.
Enjoying watching the sun set with a friend.
La Jolla.
Another day where I forgot to take a selfie until I was ready for bed. Also, SPF60 wasn't sufficient for my pale Canadian skin.
Visiting the Mission Trails Regional Park. This was taken before I hiked a hot 5K and possibly brushed up against poison oak.
After one cancelled flight and a shuttle ride to LAX, I'm homeward b...

Homeward Bound Boo Yeah!
This morning, I was at the San Diego airport and a little nervous about the status of my flight. I was scheduled to fly to LAX, have a four hour layover, then board a plane to Calgary. RECAP.
My flight got cancelled due to fog. BOO...
