A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Another hot and sunny day queuing at the Sea World Park in San Diego. The common theme was the sea and its creatures, including sharks, penguins, otters and all types of mammals.
They had dolphins by the dozen, and groups of pilot and killer whales all performing as they do not believe in doing things by halves!
This was a day at Sea World, San Diego, and another hot and sunny one; the hottest one we had so far.

Leaving Anaheim on the Freeway via St Clemente for breakfast and then to the The Seven Seas Hotel in San Diego.
Then by car to the Embarcadero, where there was a display of classic ships including the Star of India. Enjoying the hot and sunny weather. Later, phoning Wiggly finding her much more settled than of late
I was the first awake today and was keen to start the day and get my UK messages at the same time.

We recovered from a car breakdown this morning and eventually had an exchange Lincoln which was almost identical.
Another gloriously sunny day at Disneyland followed with waits for the new Indiana Jones ride, Star Wars and some others after the "Jungle Book" parade.
A nice letter followed from Wiggly today
We slept well enough and Diana was the first one to awake at 5.30am and made us some morning drinks.

I managed a call to Dan on his 23rd Birthday, as Di's period restricted our day and time for our return to Knotts.
My philosophical letter to Wiggly did not go down well and I found her in a prickly mood.
I slept well again after going to bed at 9.00pm and I woke us all up at 5.00am which, after all, still represented a full eight hours sleep.

On another gloriously-sunny day, we dropped of the girls to Disneyland &and Diana and I drove off south to the Pacific Coast to see Newport Beach and the Balboa Peninsula. I managed a call/message to Wiggly who I was missing badly
A good night's sleep, interrupted only by the sound of a car alarm from the communal parking area but we did not think that it was our own. The family awake and me to connect to CIX where I found no replies to my messages.

After the drive along Beach Boulevard to Coco's for breakfast, our day trip Knotts Berry Farm where we listened to the Native American Indian songs and dances and then took a ride on the stagecoach.
This as the girls hit the rides on the Log Flume, Mystery Lodge, the Dinosaur, The Calico Mine Train before The Bird Cage Theatre show and lots of relaxing in the sun before Diana and I enjoyed a Cordelia Knotts Chicken Dinner.
Diana was awake and up before me but I was still awake by 5.00am.
