Cwm Idwal, Wales - 6th March 2010
By: miapearl
It was a nice day and daddy wanted us to go on a walk in Snowdonia. We had lunch at Capel Curig before going onto Ogwen Cottage where we started our walk upto Llyn Idwal.
Can you see Llyn Ogwen in the background?
Look, there is still snow on the mountain, brr...
This is Llyn Idwal. We didn't have time to walk/fly around this mountain lake, unlike two of my cousins in the crow family who were just sitting on a rock enjoying the afternoon.
There were plenty of people there, some had presumably been up to the top of a mountain or two.
Views are breathtaking, perhaps when I'm a bit older and have returned from my travels, mummy & daddy will take me up to the top of a mountain.

Whew, after a long travel in the mail I finally reached my destination in San Diego, California!
My mum was so nice and sent a cut out of a recipe for afternoon tea scones to my host! Not only was my host happy, but so was I! I had something to read while traveling in my envelope!
I can't wait to explore this new town and see what there is to see!

San Diego, California, United States - 24th March 2010

Hi Mum, it's me again!
Since my host has to work during the week, I have been keeping myself busy with exploring the house and playing with the other toys.
First I explored one of the most important places...the refrigerator! My host shares this with her roommate. Pickles, apricot jam and eggs check! Look at all the soda the roommate has!
Cheese for a sandwhich..check!
Next, the game area. It looks like my host likes to play video games, there are so many. I wonder if they have any flying games?
Hmm, nothing of interest inside this lamp.
After exploring the house a bit, the other toys and I decided we would color in a Raggedy Anne coloring book. Did you know Raggedy Anne was a toy too? I heard she had lots of adventures!
After coloring a nice beach scene we couldn't decide what color the sand should be. The Pillar family thought it should be either purple, orange, yellow or green. I thought sand should be brown. A new turtle friend said he thought it should be brown too! When my host came home she said we would have to wait until the weekend to find out for sure!
Since my host had been so busy she decided to take me out to the movies! We went and saw Alice in Wonderland at the Edwards IMAX Cinema! Unfortunately, they do not allow photography inside of the theater so these are the only pictures to show my movie trip.
They have a very pretty fountain right outside.
After the movie we were all pretty tired so we decided to go home and go to bed!
Goodnight!
Hoots

San Diego Harbor, United States - 28th March 2010
By: Xadrian
Hi Mum!
Today my host and I headed down to the San Diego harbor to have lunch and visit the Maritime Museum.
First we ate some yummy fish and chips at a seaside restaurant called Anthony’s Seafood Grotto.
After our lunch we began our sightseeing. On the way to the museum there were several metal sculptures lining the sidewalk. This one has something to do with the elements.
This one was the funniest. It was called “Popcorn Chicken” and was a giant popcorn box with popcorn and chickens attached on the top.
Riding down the sidewalks are several bicycle cabs that will offer to take tired sightseers to any destination along the street in exchange for a tip.
We saw another statue, but this one was kinda strange.
Just as my host was thinking about walking over and getting a picture of me with the statue it moved! The statue was actually a man painted all in silver and would do robotic movements occasionally. The man noticed my host taking a far away picture and then beckoned for her to come close and let me perch in his hand for a better picture!
Very exciting! Soon we visited the Martime Museum and saw many ships including the Californian, the San Salvador, HMS Surprise, B39 Submarine, the America, Steam Ferry Berkley, Steam Yacht Medea, and the USS Dolphin Submarine.
Here is the Star of India
Me sitting in a comfortable (for the time) seat on the ship.
Look a model of a British ship!
A wax model of a man creating ships. Kinda scary if you ask me!
Next we went on a ship called the Surprise. This was the ship used when filming some movie called Master and Commander.
Next we visited a Russian submarine.
They gave a warning before you got on that you have to be able to squeeze through several tunnels throughout the submarine.
An engine room. Look at all the gadgets!
Down Periscope!
Eek, missiles! Luckily they were just fake ones.
We viewed several other ships in the museum, but we also saw plenty of other neat ships in the harbor.
This is the Celebrity Constellation, a cruise ship that goes to Mexico.
This is the Hornblower. It is a dinner cruise ship and also a whale watching tour.
The harbor was filled with yachts and all sorts of boats.
We left just as it was getting dark. What a fun day! I can’t wait to see what we will do next weekend!

In Transit to Ireland, UK Area - 21st May 2010
By: Xadrian
Due to having to move unexpectantly during Hoot's visit, I have not been able to post his goodbye journal before he was sent off. Hoots was mailed to Ireland two weeks ago. Hopefully he has a safe trip!
Hoots saying goodbye to his new friends and getting into his envelope to head overseas.
Friend Drovius and Peter wish Hoots a safe journey!
