    SoCal, HERE I COME!!!!!

    Just booked the flight, hotel, and rental car. Me and the fiance finally came to a final decision on the honeymoon, Hollywood it is. We will possibly be in Oceanside June 19-20 and Hollywood the 21st-26th. We are both extremely excited about it. If ya didn't notice. Let's place bets on whether we come back or not.

    You might feel right at home in the Hollywood area, feel like you never left WF.

    Except that there may actually be something to do in the wood of holly. I have heard it's kinda trashy though, but dats okay because I'm a bit trashy myself.

    dont go to oceanside, that town sucks. hit up tamarack beach, lego land, and, if you want, the naval ship museum in san diego. While in the hollywood area, you will want to see venice beach(its full of wierdos but you might enjoy it) and the santa monica pier. its the one that comes out in a bunch of movies.

    We were planning on checking out Venice, the pier, and of course the walk of fame (Me and the wife to be are huge movie buffs). I also want to check out some of the theaters and museums(ripleys, kodak, etc.) If we go to Oceanside it will be to meet up with family and go to San Diego. We also somewhat have plans on hitting up the Jason Ellis show(plug Kenny's all purpose seasoning(me and my dad make it)) and the tonight show. I'm sure we will have plenty of good times even though I don't think a week will be enough time.

    Impala or equivalent, I can't do the compact thing. I may upgrade to a convertible when I get there. I would drive mine but that would eat up 3 days that I don't care to lose.

    I really like the SoCal area. But things are a little different out there. My good friend has lived there all her life and she always keeps me in line when I go. The first time I went I drove her car from the airport where she picked me up. When I pulled out on the street I turned on the inside light to look at something inside the car. She got all excited and started telling me to turn off the light! Turn off the light!!! I looked at her kinda bumfuzzled and turned off the light. Then she said, "they shoot at you if you turn on the inside light".

    There are lots of little things she always points out to me while I'm visiting that I would never know about if she wasn't with me.

    When I'm there I get a little freaked wondering if there's gonna be an earthquake while I'm there. I can't imagine what it would be like for the ground to start shaking so hard you can't stand up. Of course when she comes to visit me she thinks a tornado is gonna sweep us away any minute.

    I've heard that it's very different. I have a feeling that I will fit right in though, except for my strong texan twang.
