Travelog for: Pisoni

OMG!  I just spent the last 4 days in a tote bag with a computer and a camera!  I thought I was going to Palm Springs but I don't know what happened! 

Well, I found out why I didn't go to Palm Springs!  I was packed in the last bag to go in the car with the most important things:  the laptop and the camera.

But, unfortunately, with all of the excitement for Mitzi to meet a new visitor, Nancy L, and all the comings and goings to the car, Nancy forgot the most important bag on a chair in the office!  So there I was for four days and unluckily (or maybe, luckily) Mitzi didn't find me there.

So now I am recouping and enjoying the luxury of the world famous Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, Ca (a suburb of San Diego.)

We have a room with a view of the ocean and it is just beautiful!

Here are some photos:

We had the best day!  Two families came to visit the two Nancys that I am staying with at the Hotel Del Coronado.

We had a cabana by the pool which was very nice. 

Then we spent time down on the beach which is beautiful.  The weather was perfect and the ocean water was warmer than ever!  Usually the water only gets up to 70 degrees F but it was 75 today!

Hopefully, we will be going to Disneyland for Nancy's birthday next week!  I will keep you posted.

Wow!  It has taken awhile to recover from a great visit to Disneyland!  I had a great time celebrating Nancy's birthday there with her friend Carmene.

We drove up from San Diego in about 1 1/2 hours to find a nice, sunny day at Disneyland.  (Nancy says it never rains there!)

We rode many of the rides but unfortunately, two of the best were closed:  The Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain.  They were being decorated for Halloween.  Oh well.

We rode It's a Small World, Pirates of the Carribean, visited the Castle and Mickey's house where we actually met Mickey Mouse!  We shopped on Main Street and rode a bunch more rides until 7:00 when we went to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. 

We arrived home at 11:00 after a really fun day!

Hi All!

A new, tiny TV arrived today.  His name is HolgiHH and he's a cute little donkey from Germany.

We are looking forward to going to Las Vegas near the end of the month.

Hi!

It's been awhile but we've been home most of the time. 

But a new TV arrived this week, a little duck named Teuksoon or Teuki.  Here's a photo of where the three of us TV's hang out with another little dog that looks like Nancy's real dog Mitzi.

Today it was nice and warm so we all went to the beach.  That is the Ocean Beach pier in the photo and there were lots of surfers there.

Next week we're off to Las Vegas where we see the other Nancy again!  She's the one we went to Coronado Beach with.

Have fun!

Hi!

We went east in San Diego where we visited Mission Trails Regional Park.  This is the largest urban park in the country at 6000 acres and shows the natural habitat of San Diego. 

Nancy ran the annual photo contest here for 10 years; it's a good place to take photos!

We visited the San Diego river which is very small as this is a very dry place, some people don't even know that there is a San Diego river!  In 1813 Spanish priest, Father Junipero Serra, had the local Indians build a dam on the river for water for his new mission.  The first two photos were taken at the dam.  The other two show the natural habitat.

It was hot, almost 90 degrees F, in October!  This is not uncommon in San Diego, as they often get hot, dry winds off of the desert in the east.  This is the season that there have been terrible wildfires over the whole county in past years.

Hi!

We all arrived in Las Vegas:  the two Nancys, HolgiHH, Teuki, and me! 

The first night we stayed at the Palazzo which is part of the Venetian.  Then we moved to the Wynn next door the next night.  The Nancys had visited the Wynn's casino last year and were looking forward to staying there one day.  It was even nicer than they expected.

The room was on the 33rd floor and had a huge window looking towards the mountains.  Everything on our floor and room was cream and salmon colored which was very pretty.

Here are some photos of the hotels and the inside of the Wynn; they have beautiful flowers, plants and mosaic floors.

On Sunday we took a road trip out of town and look what we got to do!!

A man drove up in this beautiful Pink Cadillac and let us sit in it! 

How cool is that?!

Hi Everyone!

First, I forgot to show the photo of us in our nice bed at the Palazzo.  We love these fancy hotels!

The rest of the photos are on our road trip to the Red Rocks National Park right outside of Las Vegas.  The weather at night is cool and only in the 70's during the day.  We all thought it would still be in the 80's so it wasn't real good weather to go to the pool. 

But it was good hiking weather.  We spent about five hours driving and taking hikes in various parts of the park.  It was a good day!

From the photos you can see why it's called Red Rocks Park.

The last photo shows the last part of the park that we visited.  It was a natural meadow with pink rocks.  It was so pretty!

Monday we stayed in the casinos because it was only in the low 60's and way too cold for the pool, sadly.  But we had a fun time in Las Vegas!

Here's our Halloween photo.  It was fun eating the candy and handing in out to the Trick or Treaters.

Hi All

Well, it was a sad day today as we said goodbye to HolgiHH.  Although he didn't go very far away - just to a family in another part of San Diego.  It was fun to meet another TV host though.

So to cheer us up Nancy took us to see the San Diego Trolley.  It was a beautiful sunny day today.

Hi

This is Nancy, Pizoni's hostess in San Diego.  I just saw Pizoni off today, back to his home in Spain.  We were all very sad.
The first photos are of Mitzi and Teuki saying goodbye at my house.

Then, I thought I would take Pizoni for a treat before his long trip home so we stopped at the Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. 

He also wanted a photo with my car.

So, Pizoni, we miss you and hope you get home quickly and will remember you fondly as my first ToyVoyager! 

Finally I am home! After a long journey I arrived home safely and maybe after Christmas I will continue visiting more countries!


It is kind of bad weather here!


See you!
