Hello there. What a perfect start to the month. April was finished up with an awesome trip to San Diego. Toured the U.S.S. Midway and relived a few memories. Was actually "stuck" on her for a couple days during the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Saw quite a bit of stuff, many wonderful aircraft with my favorite jet the F-14 Tomcat and of course my all time favorite, the SH-60 Seahawk. The Seahawk and I go way back and have a lot of fond memories and still have some nightmares with it but the bird was my favorite and I miss doing that everyday.
Also went over to Mission Beach and rode The Giant Dipper. It's an old, wooden roller coaster that is a historical landmark as well as being a decent ride. Walked a bit around the boardwalk and relived some more memories. Some of the places I use to go are no longer there but I guess that what happens after 20 years.
So the final countdown is on and the grand arrival is in a few days. Can't wait. Very excited.
So until that day...
