I am comfortably settled into the United Airlines lounge filtering out presidential news from the NY Times (I refuse to advertise for the media/ hotel mogul's businesses by using his name) while sipping on a glass of red. We left Calgary on Friday night and took an extended layover at Margaret's in Santa Cruz with the stormy weather and fog. So whats to do but eat and drink! We didn't want to dirty any dishes! Dinner at Jim's on Saturday night ended with a showing of the Tony Bennett birthday party (Alex Baldwin, KD Lang, Celine Dion, Billy Joel, Elton John, Bob Dylan all were great accompaniments to the lemoncello). Jim served house made tamales...yum. Saturday we had brunch at Mid-town Cafe and dinner at Liliane's then coffee ice cream and brownie cookies at Alan and Gene's. How perfect. We drove up the coast road today to Half Moon Bay and had a huge lunch of fresh-caught fish at Ketch Joanne in Princeton. We board at 7pm and likely won't get dinner until close to 9 or later so we thought we should fill up!
Our itinerary takes us to Melbourne via Auckland and straight on to Hobart in Tasmania. We will stop in Melbourne on the way back to visit with John and Jo O'Neil, my friend Susan's parents. We are looking forward to the Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart to kick off our time in Tasmania. I will post the itinerary soon as well as our various hotel and restaurant choices. I'm still working on getting photos into the blog using this ipad and I'm challenged to type without errors and to edit so apologies in advance. More Wednesday when we arrive in Tasmania or on Thursday.
