Sunny San Diego

I made it safe to San Diego. It was tough saying goodbye to all my friends, and family. It was tearful, but in a positive way. My dad and Carolyn were a huge help, and it is a good feeling that I have so much support. I'm really greatful that my friends all came to see me and spent time with me on my last day in Lewiston. My luggage was 13 lbs over weight...haha! So I paid the $25 fee....I'll try to repack in Sacramento, but paying $75 total to get my luggage to Europe isn't too bad really. San Diego is AWESOME. Duh. It's been 2 years since I've been in So-Cal. I haven't been down here since I left UCR. My sister and her boyfriend, Dan, took me on an awesome hike on a cliff above the ocean. We saw dolphins swimming right below us! Yesterday my brother and I went to PB (Pacific Beach) and layed out for a few hours, tanned, jogged. I saw 2 more dolphins about 20 feet out in the water and caught them jumping and flipping on my videocamera! Last night we went to a wine bar for happy hour with my sister's friends. It was fun. I saw 2 of my UCR Delta Gamma sorority sisters so that was great. We'll catch up again tonight for dinner at a sushi place. Well, I'm off to PB again with my sister, and a quick trip to the mall. Paris in a week!!!! I'm relieved most of the goodbyes are done, and now I can focus on the excitement ahead.
