Janet and Kari Hit the Road
March 18, 2025
Here we go! A short little turnaround between trips (which made packing easy!), and by 10:00am, I was honking the horn at 305 Norte Ave, summoning Janet so we could begin our six-day trip to SoCal! (Not really: I walked up to the door because I’m polite that way.)
We stopped at the South Davis Starbs for road coffee, then hit the road. We hit the usual traffic in LA and had a couple stops along the way, arriving to our Redondo beach cottages by 5:30. Seven-plus hours, not horrible.
I was able to book one of my standby cottages on Avenue A (Tiana’s place) and, super-fortunate, Tiana made me aware that the family next door has now added an airbnb to their property and we were able to book that one for the same days. So… we had adjacent cottages, giving us space and alone time as needed, which turned out to be quite brilliant. Both cute, clean, tidy, adequately appointed. And a block from the beach!
We dropped our stuff and headed right to the Esplanade!
We took a good long walk, called Chris, made a quick reservation for dinner, and then caught a beautiful sunset:
No pics, but our dinner at Bettolini’s with Chris was fabulous.
