The trip was absolutely wonderful, despite the bad times with William's health. Once he got out of the hospital he was once again feeling great and snarky with wisecracks. Our trip to Disneyland was one of the highlights. We went on almost every ride, even the roller coaster type rides. I think the only thing we didn't see was the Tiki Room. We started in Adventure land and took the Jungle cruise, the Haunted House, and the Pirates of the Caribbean. The Pirates had a lot of new and improved scenes and Captain Jack Sparrow popped up several times on the ride. We then went to Fantasy Land and went on every one of the rides, from Peter Pan to Mr. Toad's wild ride to the teacups - we went fast but no one got sick. Then we went on the Matterhorn and got splashed royally; what fun.
In Tomorrow Land we went on the submarines, and the auto bahn, we saw the Michael Jackson 4-D movie, and road on Space Mountain, but the greatest thing we saw was Star Tours. It was also a 4-D movie and your seats tilted and laid way back and it actually felt that you were taking a trip at warp speed to defeat the enemy. They have 56 different versions of the movie so you can go there a lot of times and get thrilled every time.
On Monday of the second week we took a drive out to the Anza-Borrego desert and the wildflowers were just coming into bloom. The ocotillos were topped with flame red and they covered parts of the desert floor. In Julian we went to Mom's Apple Pies and got an apple crumb pie covered in caramel. It was truly the bomb!
We stopped at the Banner Grade and visited with Steve Rudisill who has been the proprietor there since before we lived near there. We wanted to climb up the Chariot Canyon Truck Trail but the roads were too rough for a rental car, so we took pictures of what we could.
Thursday, the day after Disneyland, I had to stay home and rest up but everyone else went to Sea World and Willie got to see Shamu and Namu.
The plane ride back home was very normal but Willie had to carry an oxygen condenser in case he had any trouble, which he didn't.
We had barbecues at friends and families homes, and many, many picture taking sessions.
Now it is time to move on to more serious subjects. Today will be the start of the publication of THE GOD GAMES: Legend of Kor. It should take about three months to prepare the book and then in early Summer the book will be released in Book Stores and as an e-book on Amazon, Kindle, and Barnes & Noble.
The more I resist something, like stop eating sugar, the harder the problem becomes. I seem to crave sugar all of the time; so I am addicted to sugar of any kind. I am going to look at this problem straight in the face until it disappears as an addiction, then I am going to rely on ONE to give me the strength to be able to just let go of my sugar addiction. After this vacation, I was using sugar all the time. Now, the vacation is over and I have to start taking better care of myself. My blood sugars are running slightly high and my blood pressure has raised 20 points-just from eating the wrong foods for my body. Diet, here I come!
I noticed that the highways traffic has improved in San Diego as they have built three more highways since I've been there and they really take you straight to where you are going. I miss San Diego already, but if the book sells well, maybe we can go once again next year.
Until tomorrow, may you be blessed with good health and happy days, and I will be thinking of you and praying for you.
