Annual Vacation - Right on Schedule

Nothing makes me happier than being right on schedule.  I told Joyce.... if we left at 8:30, we'll make it to Monterey Park by 12 for lunch.  If we left at 1, we'll get to Palm Springs by 3pm.... enough time for the kids to nap in the car... and right in time for checking in.

We didn't leave at 830 as I'd hoped.  We left at 850... cuz we stopped for gas.

But we made up some time when Siu Wah unexpectedly fell asleep around 1030..... so instead of taking a break in Ventura... we kept going!! Joyce gave Nn a little treat and let her watch some iPad.  I, on the other hand, really needed to go pee... but if I stopped, SW would've woken up and the "plan" would be ruined. 

After a little 101/405/15/10 traffic...we get to JJ at exactly 12PM.  The kids are up... they're in good moods... and there's a nice bathroom there!! BOOM!!!

Lunch lasts an hour... and we depart at excactly 1PM.... HA!!  And wouldn't you know it.... 3PM, we roll up to the valet at Westin Hotel Golf and Spa.

Couldn't have planned it any more precise.

Dinner???  Pizzeria Villagio.  We got there at 5:59 and ordered just in time for Happy Hour - half off drinks and appetizer.  I go for the Chianti.... and Joyce..... she gets the 25 oz Bud!!!!! WHAT?!?!?!? My wife?!?!?! Drinking beer!??!?!! And good ol' Bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is good.... life is really good.
