We arrived in Los Angeles December 23rd and it took 3 hours to get to where we were having dinner and then another hour to get to Megan (my God daughter) and her husband Reginald’s house. Not that the traffic was exceptionally bad – it’s just that LA is huge! It goes on and on in a maze of freeways leading to the many cities that LA is made up of. Megan lives in a very nice community called Mission Viejo. This was their darling little boy Ethan’s first Christmas. He is now 8 months old and such a sweetie! Megan's mom Sandy and Megan's sister Shannon are visiting from Victoria for the occasion. We feel very special to be invited to spend Christmas with them too. Check out Ethan's website – such a photogenic baby. He has been scouted already (only in LA) but they turned the offer down.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at my good friend Sandy’s sister Donna’s house, fabulous food and a great way to spend Christmas Eve. Sandy’s two other sisters and their families were there too. Sandy’s other daughter Shannon flew in from Victoria with her cute little dog Lucy and arrived about 5:30 – just in time for dinner.
Christmas day we spent at Megan’s and had a fabulous brunch and met some of their friends and Reginald’s sister and her family. The girls ended the day with a great soak in the hot tub in the back yard. All in all I ate way too much over the past few days.
We are now at Miguel’s shop getting the coach attended to. It is very cold here – I’m wearing my down winter coat and my hands are freezing as I type this. There is nothing seriously wrong – it’s just an old vehicle (1976) and needs regular check-ups. Just like us…..
We are thinking about zipping over to Quartzite or seeking out some hot springs for a few days before meeting Dawne at Tecate.
