In January 2012 I fell in love again. This time it was extra special for at that time a wee girl named Dorothy was born to my cousin's daughter in the US. Dorothy is a magic baby and has captured my heart. Right from the start I said "I am coming to meet her"; one of those things you say but don't necessarily do.
Then a few months later my cousin's other daughter got engaged. Ha! Now I have another excuse to go and meet all the family members I haven't yet met AND to go to the wedding AND to meet Dorothy.
Three more sleeps to go and then I will be disembarking in San Francisco and going to see a cousin and my Aunty close to Sacramento.
From there back to San Francisco to support MY TEAM emirates NZ and re-visit some of the places I had come to love when we lived in the Napa Valley in 1970 (ish). A bridge walk is on the plan as is making the most of the local restaurant scene.
A few days there before I go further south to Monterey not only for the wedding but to spend some time with my cousin's children that I have never met and of course meet Dorothy and her wee cousin Abby.
The next stop in San Diego, only because I have never been and always wanted to go, mainly to see the world famous zoo and to do a Segway trip around the seaside area. Maybe a trip to Tijuana might be on the cards before I head north again as far as Irvine, Orange County, to hopefully meet up with my nephew that I haven't seen for at least 30 years. Barely time to shop and then I'll be winging my way home again.
So no exploring this time, a sedate family holiday, and I can't wait.
