Day Fifty One: California Here We Come...28/11/08

...and California here we are, or to be more specific, San Diego here we are. It took us a while to get out of Yuma today, because it was "Black Friday", the day after Thanksgiving. It basically means that every retail outlet in this fair country was having a major sale. Aidan being the bargain hunter that he is (we have a different word for him), was determined to make the most of this wonderful opportunity that was presented to him. So we got up this morning, punched the co-ordinates for JC Penny into the Sat Nav, and we were on our way. When we got there, he was only too pleased to discover that there was many other fine shops in the vicinity. We parked up, and away he went, taking Ronan along with him. Meanwhile, myself and Brian had only one thing in mind....breakfast. We left the RV park in such a hurry we didn't have time for breakfast! Well, to be fair the fridge was pretty empty anyway. By the time we were all set to go it was almost 1pm. We finally hit the road for San Diego, and here we are, east coast to west coast... mission accomplished. Obviously we still have lots more to do, and we'll be going inland again before we finish up in San Francisco, but it's certainly a milestone for this trip. We're going to be using Pacific Standard Time for a few weeks, which means for a while, we'll be 8 hours behind Irish time. We'll probably explore San Diego a bit more tomorrow, and we're planning to visit Sea World.
