California 1

Tuesday at the Aquarium of the Pacific

We had decided that on Tuesday, we would stay close to our hotel and do our touring around Long Beach. Shortly before lunchtime, the six of us climbed aboard the Passport bus. This is a free shuttle that will transport you all around Long Beach. Our Queen Mary Hotel is one of its stops. We rode the shuttle to…

An Afternoon at the Getty Center Art Museum, Los Angeles

After a morning bus tour of Hollywood we headed to the Getty Center. Their website tells you to arrive early since their parking garage often fills. But in mid-January in the middle of the week, we didn’t have any trouble getting a parking spot at lunch time. It costs $15 to park at the Getty but admission…

Visiting San Diego: Zoos “Sure Ain’t What They Used To Be”

A Winter Vacation Escape: A Day at Santa Anita

We got up early on a mid-January Sunday morning and left the Queen Mary Hotel heading for a day at Santa Anita Park. Traffic was fairly light- light by L.A. standards, that is. Those of us used to pulling onto a highway on a Sunday morning and seeing long expanses of empty pavement ahead of…

A Winter Vacation Escape: Five Nights Aboard the Queen Mary Hotel

We boarded our flight at around 6 p.m. on a Saturday evening in mid-January. We lost three hours in the air and landed at LAX before 9. Six of us–myself, my husband, my sister, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson were traveling. We had rented two cars. We were shuttled to the rental locations, picked up…
