Soon, I'll be on another vacation. Hopefully, the above picture will give you a clue to where I'm going, and what I'll be doing. The problem is that I'm a little ambivalent about taking this cruise. My uncle is frail, and I'll have to take mass transit to reach him. Additionally, I won't be able to present as Marian during this cruise. So, it won't be as much fun as it could be. With that being said, I still think I'll have a good time. I'll be on the West coast, and I have always felt good when in California.. And, yes, I'll catch up on my posting when I get back.
This will be RQS's first time in California. It's been over a decade since I've been to either San Francisco or Los Angeles, and I'm looking forward to being in both cities again. In Los Angeles, there are a couple of museums I want to see after seeing my uncle. In San Francisco, it'll be nice to show RQS around and to explore new places which I haven't gotten to yet. When we eventually reach San Diego, we will connect with RQS's cousin. Hopefully, we'll have enough time to see her and see a sight or two before returning to the ship. Once done with California, it will be time for the obligatory stop in Mexico for compliance with the US Passenger Vessel Services Act. Then it will back to Los Angeles and onward to home.
Why am I ambivalent? I think it's because there isn't that much that excites me about this itinerary. San Francisco is not the city that I remember. Los Angeles is still a suburb in search of a city. We will not be able to explore San Diego the way we'd like to do if we visited this city by land first. And, Mexico is Mexico - not a place that interests me. At least, I will have the company of RQS on this trip. And that's what's important to me.
