HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
We left our wonderful hotel room in Garberville and headed south on highway 101 and then over to 1. We quickly found out as Jimmy kept saying "This ain't no corvette." that the van is a bit harder to take those switchback roads. It was foggy in the morning and our windshild wiper is still squeaking driving us both crazy. Jimmy has tried a number of tricks including two sets of new ones but it still persist. Luckily by afternoon the sun came out. The redwood trees are stunning and the coast was beautiful but by the time we got to the Golden Gate Bridge we were both tired. Unfortunatly my cell phone battery charger died after blowing the fuse for the lighter, cd player and overhead lights the other day. By the time we got to the bridge where we needed the GPS Nav help my battery was almost dead which resulted in Jimmy getting off the freeway too soon. We had the GPS lady on for long enough to help us get back to where we should have been after going thru the busy streets of San Fran we were trying to avoid. We had booked a hotel with my Starwood guest points at the Sheraton by the airport but when we got there it was pretty dirty and tacky. I didn't want to waste my points on that especially on New Years so we left and used them at the Westin. By the time we checked in it was after eight and the restaurant was closed. Not wanting to go out again we ordered a pizza from room service, ate it watched TV and now Jimmy is passed out snoring. Good we celebrated New Years last night! Tomorrow we will meet with a friend who lives here and then try to stay at a campground or RV place in the van. Here are a few picutres I took yesterday and today.

I'm going to feed that stuffed animal to a stuffed predator when you return. It's not healthy and you need a real pet, you can tell Jim I said so.
