2015 Highlights Together With Lowlights


It hasn't been a real busy go twelvemonth for us equally we've had other, real-life issues to bargain amongst merely nosotros did teach some in.  Here are some of the highlights as well as lowlights of the year.

AIRLINES: We did non conduct maintain a bad flying this year. Southwest as well as Alaska both took real practiced help of us as well as nosotros had real enjoyable flights. Hard to say which 1 is a improve bet this twelvemonth merely Alaska is getting real aggressive amongst their pricing as well as destinations as nosotros caput into the novel year. Look into it if you'd similar to teach away to a warmer climate for awhile.

 On the other hand...

AIRPORTS: Have zip practiced to say about three of the iv airports nosotros transited through this year...LAX, BWI, as well as LIR...but ONT nonetheless is a pleasant merely real dead house to wing inwards as well as out of. Maybe similar a shot that the metropolis of Ontario is taking over the reigns from LAX, they tin revitalize this real convenient as well as much underused facility.

HOTELS: Shenandoah Inn, the mom as well as popular motel inwards the Motherlode that could, is nonetheless 1 of the most enjoyable as well as relaxing places we've e'er stayed. Located inwards the pump of California's Gold Country amongst friendly as well as competent owners Ken as well as Marie, I tin experience my stress melting away equally presently equally I hitting their driveway.

 We had a so-so remain at the Springhill Suites inwards Baltimore merely establish a fantastic Courtyard yesteryear Marriott when nosotros moved over to nearby Washington D.C. We also had a pretty miserable, as well as cold, nighttime inwards some other Courtyard inwards San Diego at the kickoff of the twelvemonth merely a brace of stays at Homewood Suites completely made upwards for that, a real prissy as well as consistent construct (four stays at iv dissimilar locations amongst iv real prissy experiences).

 And I'd hold upwards remiss to non hollo the real prissy as well as understated Borrego Springs Resort, an oasis of relaxation inwards the middle of Anza Borrego Desert State Park inwards California.

 RENTAL CAR: We don't rent cars real ofttimes merely when nosotros do, nosotros ordinarily conduct maintain a practiced experience. Not actually posted for 2015 merely coming upwards real presently on this blog, nosotros had an absolutely nightmarish experience amongst Alamo inwards Republic of Costa Rica who tried to gouge us out of some other $600 for insurance on arrival. Put a shadow on the entire trip.

FOOD: This one's easy. Two outstanding restaurants encountered on our journeys this year, I don't fifty-fifty conduct maintain to bat an optic over trying to trace them out of my memory...Supano's inwards Baltimore as well as Taste inwards Plymouth, California.

 Supano's is similar dining amongst your Italian aunts as well as uncles, you lot know, the ones who construct the most exquisite dishes you've every tried as well as ladle it out amongst friendly banter as well as converstation amongst the ever-present Sinatra soundtrack inwards the background. We absolutely cruel inwards dear amongst this house as well as their staff.

 Taste is 1 of those corking California restaurants that conduct maintain their nutrient to some other degree of sense of savor as well as refinement. It's located inwards the most unpretentious location as well as the atmosphere shows it. Great, relaxed, as well as friendly service amongst some of the most delicious, handcrafted entrees you'll e'er have.

 Both restaurants are expensive merely worth every unmarried penny, as well as more.

If you lot desire good, inexpensive food, our champion is nonetheless Los Tacos de Huicho, the best picayune taco store inwards the footing way, agency off the beaten path inwards Bakersfield, California or the real practiced (and cheap!) steakhouse at Molino Viejo inwards San Quintin, Baja California.

 So in that location you lot conduct maintain it, the highs as well as lows from...what for us...is variety of a placidity go year. Next week, nosotros suspension out the novel posts for 2016 as well as therefore hold upwards certain to bring together us for some other twelvemonth of fun as well as accessible go adventures.

In our scream for to reckon every Major League Baseball stadium, nosotros tin laissez passer on the axe unremarkably produce 2 or 3 inwards a trip because they tend to live inwards clusters…San Francisco as well as Oakland; Yankees as well as Mets; Cubs as well as White Sox…one destination has eluded us for a spell because it stands alone.
