Day 1 - Saturday

We left MD an hour later than was scheduled. It was okay though, we had already resigned ourselves to a long day. And because we were flying SouthWest we had also resigned ourselves to getting to know each other very very well. Michael and I were fortunate enough to get a couple of seats together so it wasn’t all that bad, but it was still a long flight…I was really hoping I didn’t get a Deep Vein Thrombosis.

We pulled into San Diego Airport at 10:30 California time (1:30 our time) and we were all so excited to see each other that we didn’t get to lay our head down on the air mattress until midnight CA time. At 8 the next morning my eyes popped open and I was ready to get going. The Girls went to breakfast and by the time we got back the guys had already picked up the U-haul and the trailers. With the help of 6 burly guys the entire apartment was loaded into the truck in 2 hours.

We went out to an early supper and then hit the road. We didn’t get too far, only to El Centro - which is 2 hours east of San Diego - but it was enough to make us feel like we were on our way. Now I am sitting in a nice quiet hotel room, Michael has Sports Center (duh nuh nuh – duh nuh nuh) on the tv and the air conditioner is cranked.

I am pretty beat so I am just going to upload some pix and call it a day.
My Aunt Jackie flew out with us to surprise my parents.

That stripe on the mountain is a road carved out of it.

Thats it for now. I will write next time about Roswell NM...it was like coming home. LOL
