I Miss California.
I've only been back from California for a few hours and already I miss it. I had a great time. For those interested in Trip Details, please see below:
Souvenirs: John Varvatos Jack Purcell's, Carthusia Io Capri, Italian toothpaste, Kiehls products, swimsuit and shorts from Zara, Debbie Does Dallas iron-on t-shirt, Eggling, swaying flower cube, Oliver Peeples spectacles, Molton Brown shampoo, Acqua di Parma Colonia Assolou. EDIT: Shirt photo:
Restaurants visited: In N Out (3 meals); Z Tejas (Z Stick Rita illegal in Utah); Wahoo's; Daily Grill; Cheesecake Factory; The Loft at the Montage Resort; lobby bar at Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel. EDIT: Taking time to smell the lillies at Ritz Carlton (there were at least a dozen bouquets like this one):
Celebrity Sightings: Two. Marcia Cross at Beverly Hills Hotel and the woman [EDIT: Embeth Davitz] that played Mark Darcy's "Natasha" in Bridget Jones' Diary at the Montage.
Number of times I nearly died while body surfing at Crescent Bay in the biggest waves I've ever encountered: 4!
Number of hours spent driving in the scorching So Cal sun with the convertible top down: 36.
Number of hours spent driving with the top up: 45 minutes.
Finally, I think I am a new master of the So. California freeways. I went from Long Beach Airport to Ontario Airport to Laguna to Newport Beach to Costa Mesa back to Ontario over to Hollywood and Beverly Hills and back down to long beach like a seasoned California commuter. Having a convertible helped. Also, a glove box full of quarters also helped - the toll roads were the way to go.

Is it my computer or do you have zero comments on this post? What happened to everyone? You must be going on vacation too much.
In-n-out burger.... Yum. It's worth a trip to california just to be able to eat there.
Damn the liquor laws in UT. How great would a Tuesday night at Ztejas be without them?
I agree with Deanna - In-n-Out rocks.
What color are your new shoes?
His new shoes are red. I made a face at them; really, though, what do I know about shoes?
I had the pleasure of accompanying HJ on this trip and had a lovely, lovely time.
The only time we came close to fighting was when he put the shoes on with his new porno t-shirt for the grocery store to "terrorize" me. It worked.
Hey, at least he wores shoes to the grocery store. During my trip on Saturday afternoon I saw three barefoot people, and two women in nightgowns and slippers. Ick.
Yes, VT hated my shoes. And nearly every other purchase I made. "No. I don't like that. At. All." But my "Debbie Does Dallas" iron-on t-shirt was her least favourite I think.
The shoes with my long shorts and retro porno t-shirt had the net effect of making me look like a Sk8er Boi circa 1997. A common look for me.
