San Diego's Island Palms

A week ago, I attended a SlowTravel Gathering in San Diego. I asked my friend, Norma to go with us (Tracey and myself) to the gathering. We met at the San Diego airport... Norma coming from Sacramento and Tracey and I flying in from San Jose. We made it to the hotel without any trouble. We checked in, found our room, and headed for the restaurant/bar for lunch.

We met Shannon on our way in and saw Kim and Amy finishing their lunch, said our hellos and they were off. Norma, Tracey, and I had our lunch. I tried (Tracey's) Seared Ahi (first time for me re. ahi). Norma had soup, I had a burger, I think. It was so long ago, I can't remember now.

But this blog is about my "home" for my quick get-away. This is the view from the restaurant patio.

After lunch we walked back to our room via the back path. This is the view of the marina - right behind the hotel.

We saw Joan who was relaxing, reading, or maybe just enjoying the view. We had our hellos. In front of Joan's room, I saw a visiting hummingbird.

I think I am going to like it here. :)

Nice Memories for us Eden. Such great photos of happy days.

Eden, I remember it well! Those Bird of Paradise bushes were so healthy with such beautiful stems!

And sitting there to say Hi! to ST friends was the best.

I enjoyed reading this. Nice memories :) Seems like so long ago already.
