The Westgate Hotel San Diego
In San Diego Southern California signs of Winter are subtle indeed. We have a few trees and plants that blaze orange and then drop their leaves in the Autumn. But we don’t get any snow except in the nearby mountain town of Julian where they serve the most wonderful apple pie a la mode. The Westgate Hotel has nurtured a tradition of Christmas tree lights, nutcracker ballet dancers and mugs of hot cocoa.
Swiss Army Knife Adventures
On a Valentine’s Day early in our relationship, Mark presented me with a brand-new Swiss Army knife because we both loved hiking, backpacking, and opening bottles of beer and wine. Little did I know how many wild and amazing adventures on which this knife would accompany us. It stayed in my back pocket much of the time while we rambled around the USA and Alaska on our nine-month journey in 1986. I have had MANY embarrassing moments in my life, but one in particular reigns as THE MOST MORTIFYING.
