San Diego, USA

Yes, we are in San Diego! Between traveling and having fun, I've gotten behind on the blog. We do plan a few updates to cover our train ride to Santiago, the fun we had in Santiago, and our short stay in Lima Peru. But I thought I'd at least update where we were.

After landing in Ft. Lauderdale, we rented a car and drove down to the French Consulate in Miami, where we had an appointment to submit our paperwork for a French Long Stay Visa for French Polynesia next year. (it went smoothly... I knew more about the process than the girl I submitted the paper work to did).

We spent a little time in Ft. Lauderdale, stopping at Bluewater Books, West Marine, and Sailorman (and only bought one thing--a 50 amp circuit breaker!) Then drove up to Satellite Beach for the night.

On Tuesday, we drove to Orlando and caught a Southwest Airlines flight to San Diego, arriving late in the evening in San Diego. We were pleasantly surprised at the nice experience with Southwest. Southwest is a budget airline like Spirit, but just way more laid back. The flights were half empty, so there was plenty of space and the attendants were having a good time. Southwest has installed seat banks in their waiting areas that are cushy seats, with 110v and USB power plugs, and wifi. Nice!

Anyway, we are in San Diego for a week to go to Dave's son Chris's wedding, and visit some other friends and family.

We got a recent update from the guy that's visiting Soggy Paws weekly and checking things out. Everything is good on Soggy Paws, in Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador.
