4th, 26th and 60th

Me - Geoff - Dibbcast presenter, retired and owner of Blair- our adorable Westie. Vacation planner and "hunter - out" of unusual things to do.
Him - Darrin - my long suffering husband. (Loves me really.) Likes to travel and stay in style. Who am I to object?

So some explanation of the title:

4th - we hit the West Coast again starting in San Francisco. And we'll be there for July 4th. They do fireworks from Marina Green Park and Pier 39 so our hotel location is bang on- the Argonaut on Fisherman's Wharf. We love Kimpton hotels - boutique style and they have a wine tasting hour every afternoon. The 4th is our anniversary of meeting and it will be 26 years on 4/7/15. As the 4th will fall on a Saturday we'll have the celebratory meal on the 5th.

We move on to Carmel. We have always driven past here until last year when we paid a visit. Fell in love with the place immediately and so this time we have 3 nights there in the most beautiful accommodation - The Lamplighter Inn:

We move on to Pismo - another favourite of ours. Great sunsets as you sit in your hot tub on the balcony at the Seaventure hotel.

Then we carry on for a few days in Santa Barbara. Love the shopping mall they have here.

We finish off at Disneyland. This year is their 60th anniversary (hence the 60th reference) and we'll be there for 17th July to celebrate.
Really looking forward to it.

Today I've booked a Whale Watching trip from Monterey. To go out on that bay and see the monsters of the deep will be absolutely wonderful. Many know my feelings about Seaworld but I won't get on my soapbox here. I shall see these creatures where they are meant to be. Can't wait.

Carmel is a lovely little place, (I think clint Eastwood is the mayor?), Monterey is also lovely.
I had a lovley meal in the resturant at pebble beach many years ago

Clint Eastwood used to be the mayor. He still lives in the vicinty and he is a co owner of the Mission Ranch Hotel & Restaurant. It's not uncommon to find him playing the piano in the bar on some evenings.

Great sounding trip. We are planning another West Coast trip for 2016 and are planning on taking the pace down a bit with a bit more relax time at the beautiful beaches.

Interested to see where you stay in Santa Barbara.
