It works!

This non-drinking coffee person just drank an entire cup of coffee. I’m wiredddddd! (and yes, I drink through a straw)




Did I mention the ghost tour that we took? Fun and spooky all at the same time. I had to laugh when they gave us “ghost detecting equipment” which were EMFs, designed to pick up electromagnetic fields and beep when we were near some. See the orb that I caught in those pictures? It seems to be moving when you look at them. Ooooo.. spooky! Believe it or not, there are some haunted places on Catalina. The most haunted hotel, The Catherine, was the first hotel I every stayed at in Catalina. Good thing I didn’t know back then.

And four hours later, we finally made it home. And I am proud to say that no one puked from the boat ride… though at times, we were thisclose.

Our cute little hotel, Catalina Canyon Resort & Spa. Sounds much more glamorous than it actually was. It was only about .5 miles away from the strip, but most of that was uphill, and at night there were no street lights so it was pitch black and dangerous. Good think we made friends with the cops, who gave us a ride to back to our place both nights. One of my favorite memories is blasting Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville and singing at the top of our lungs with the cops all the way home. Little did I realize, those are the same cops that grace the L.A. streets. Man, in Catalina, they seem so much cooler!

El Galleon, karaoke bar. For some reason the DJ took a liking to Jessica and me, and bumped us up 2 and a half pages on the karaoke list. We both closed the night, and that’s too bad because had we have sung earlier, we would have gotten all our drinks free. But at least we got free drinks until the next bar we went to closed down.

Lounging outside by the beach with cold drinks in hand, being waited on by Myke, our server. Could the day get any better?

We were sitting at a secluded table at Luau Larry’s waiting for a waitress to order drinks and incomes a very very drunk guy who insists on buying us all drinks. The crazy part is that he’s so drunk he lays out a wad of cash, forgets that he put it there and then leaves the bar. Fast forward to 2 hours later, this guy is no where to be found. Score!
