Given that Laguna Beach is Allyn’s old stomping grounds, we didn’t really want or need to do much sightseeing. We had pals to visit and have been looking forward to our stay at Montage Laguna Beach.
Del Mar is a quaint seaside village located 20 miles up the coast from San Diego. We stayed at the lovely L’Auberge Del Mar although did our touring in San Diego.
For years as a young boy I had heard of Palm Springs as a place where the rich and famous hung out. Whereas monied folks from New York tended to go to Florida in the winter, Seattle people being from the West tended to vacation in Palm Springs. Some of the real wealthy even had second homes there.
Day 1 of our road trip took us from Las Vegas to Big Bear Lake. One fun thing about road trips is that there is no time panic to get to the airport for example.
Another is to make some fun, and often ridiculous, tourist stops.
We are so excited to start our 2021 road trip. Here is the game plan. Note, from here on out we will probably be doing more video since Allyn has really been working on her video skills and me on my movie making.
