Going for a week in SoCal

We leave tomorrow, Feb 3 and return Feb 10. We go first to the dentist in Tijuana, for Manfred to get his broken teeth fixed. Then we get to visit our best buds, Charles & Diane Fitzgerald, for a week. They have taken a WorldMark condo in Oceanside for a few days, so we will join them there, then proceed to their house in Encinitas on Feb 7. It will be so nice to see them again. And to stay in another WM condo.

We fly non-stop on AlaskaAir to San Diego. The flight is 2 hours 35 minutes. 

It takes us 3½ hours to get from our house to the airplane, allowing 2 hours for security and boarding. I prefer to allow 1½ hours max, but we take a bus that does not give us that choice. 

The dentist's car will meet us at the airport and take us to cross the border, then to the dentist's office. Afterwards they drive us to a hotel for the night, and we get to eat some real Mexican food. Yum! 

Next day we see the dentist again. When we are done, they drive us to the border. We have to do that awful long line, on foot, to cross into the US, where we take a poky, bumpy American train to Oceanside. 

I'm putting all this in for my own reference -- after a month or 2, I forget the details, especially how much time things take.
