Awake: 6:06am Temp 62 Clear Overnight @ San Diego, CA.
We have copies made of our vehicle registration, insurance coverage for
the motorhome & the Suzuki + our driver’s license…all to be given to the
Campland for their records so we qualify for staying in their park on a
monthly basis.
Ranger Dave visits our campsite @ 9:10am to check our sewer connections….a
routine check for monthly guests.
@ 10:00am K & I attend the required orientation meeting @ the Café Patio.
Ranger Dave & Lindsey (monthly accounts person) & 3 other couples were
attending. Basically the rules & regulations of living monthly in the park
were reviewed. No one can stay year long in this park.
@ 11:50am K & I are on our way for yet…another shopping attempt…to find
that illusive short sleeve, button down dress shirt. We visit 5 stores in
this order: Goodwill (zilch); Mervyn’s (new stock but only 2 short sleeve
shirts), Target (cheap new stock….some were short sleeves but no button
down collar); Ross, Dress for Less…(new stock---no short sleeves). At the
Ross store I ask the clerk where I might find the short sleeve shirts? She
didn’t know but a lady who had just checked out whispered: T.J. Max… &
then she gave me directions on how to get there. Yes, T.J. Max had short
sleeve shirts….2 of them as leftover stock in bad shape……but, they had a
nice selection of shorts which I carefully tried on in the fitting room,
then purchased 3 pairs. I needed a few extra pairs. So we purchased the 2
short sleeve shirts from Mervyn’s, but only one with button down
collar….it was the best we could do. Lesson learned: shop for the season
ahead, not behind! Back to the bus @ 4:00pm.
Larry visits @ 4:15pm. I give him a tour of the technical aspects of our
motorhome. He agrees to keep an eye on the machine during our cruising
time.
Call my sister Mary Jo in Lodi, CA. We talk briefly & I agree to call
again on Saturday for longer talk.
@ 6:15pm we pick up Larry & Sally @ their camp site, drive to downtown San
Diego, look for a parking spot along the street for 15-20 min, then drop
off the ladies & L & I continue our looking for a parking spot. Finally we
give in to the public pay parking 5 stories up but we are parked.
The restaurant is called: “Mare & Monti” meaning sea & mountain in
Italian. Kathy & I share a glass of wine…..then share a halibut dinner.
The wine was fair, the food great & the company of Larry & Sally terrific.
The sidewalk setting & fair weather enhanced the evening pleasure. San
Diego’s downtown is very alive & well. We drop L & S @ their campsite & we
are back in the bus by 9:50pm.
Today’s high temp=84 Lights out: 11:28pm
