Abby and I spent the weekend down in San Diego. We visited Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. Here are my conclusions from the trip:
- Never stay at a Ramada Hotel. They suck. There is no excuse for the service we received.
- If you are ever required to smuggle a weapon into Sea World, give it to Abby - then send her and I in together. I can guarantee that they will not search her once they lay eyes on me - despite the fact that she is wearing a heavy army field jacket. They will, instead, spend several minutes making sure that the freak with blue hair has nothing sharper than Playdough® concealed on his person.
- Killer Whales are impressive; the people who swim with them are crazier than I am.
- Polar Bears must be, in some way, related to cats. Cats are the only creatures that sleep that much, as far as I am aware.
- Good company makes up for many things.
- It is difficult to sleep when the motel manager is pounding on your door, demanding that you turn down the music that you aren't playing.
- It is sad to see animals in cages, but not as sad as extinction.
- San Diego Zoo has a great number of birds.
- San Diego Zoo has a great number of ducks. Beware the Überduck.
- There are many animals that, in one way or another, resemble cows.
- There are many tourists that also resemble cows, at least in action and scent.
- People who think that it is amusing to growl at large, caged predators, should try growling at un-caged ones. I would find that far more amusing.
- Peacocks like to eat ice cream. This is an affront to all that is sacred.
- Room service is a great thing. Room service that has both prime-rib and Mountain Dew - is a gift from the Gods.
- The Hyatt is several orders of magnitude better than anything with the name Ramada on it.
- Dining on lobster and filet mignon while watching fireworks over the harbor, is a great way to spend an evening with someone you love.
Feel free to stop by the Virtual Photo Album and look at photos from the trip.
