California dreaming, screaming and still beaming :) Day 8
31/07/08
Softball teams still here. Had breakfast in room as there was no where to sit in the communal area. Cheched out and headed off to Monterey. Great scenery on the way - very agricultural and we passed a huge reservoir. Found the hotel easily - Casa Munras which was a little bit away from the Cannery but there was a free trolley bus from the transit square - 2 min walk away. Once again I had used Hotwire for this hotel as we were only going to be here 1 night. Once again... rubbish view! The hotel itself was lovely - like a spa - with fire pits and seating on a patio. We caught the trolley to Cannery Row and had a wander around. DD and I also had a water massage! Thern we went to the Aquarium which we knew had a webcam somewhere. We had seen that it focussed on some rocks in the bay - but you could see part of a walkway and people up close too! Rang my mother and told here that we would go and hunt for it and stand so that she could see us. (She has done this to us on many occassions! I've seen here up and down the escalators of the MGM Grand in LV, tap dancing by some fountains and also risking life and limb standing on a traffic island in Turkey! ) Anyway - Aquarium is very good and it was very busy too! Didn't find the webcam and none of the staff I asked knew where it was either! Here's some jellyfish! I wasn't very happy about the penguin enclosure - I thought it looked small compared with Seaworld. We had food in Bubba Gumps and then planned on going back to the hotel for a drink. DH and I both had a bit of a headache and the kids were tired too. We all laid on the beds and DH fell asleep. The rest of us ended up watching Sweet Home Alabama. It was far too hot to sleep and there was no air conditioning. I thought I just couldn't get it to work and rang the front desk - but to be fair they gave is a tall fan. Missed out on our drink at the firepit!

We used to love watching DS and DDIL on the webcam of their cruiseship. You are really getting around. You must have spent ages doing all the planning.
