Vacation Part I (Tucson & San Diego)

Endlich komme ich dazu, einen POst ueber unseren Urlaub zu verfassen. Die letzten Wochen waren noch immer sehr chaotisch, hier und dort musste einiges erledigt werden, aber nun habe ich wieder Zeit. Mein Semester faengt in 5 Tagen an, somit kann ich die letzte "Ferienwoche" noch mit wunderbar kuehlerem Wetter geniessen.
Eigentlich finde ich es immer sehr schwer, etwas ueber den Urlaub zu erzaehlen, denn man hat einfach so viel zu berichten und so viele Eindruecke zu verarbeiten und man weiss gar nicht, wie man alles am Besten rueberbringen kann. Deswegen werde ich auch nicht viel dazu erzaehlen, sondern einfach ein paar Bilder zeigen.
Dieser Post beinhaltet Teil I, Tucson und San Diego. Wir sind hier um 04.00 Uhr morgens losgefahren, um gegen 17.00 Uhr in Tucson zu sein. So etwas wuerde ich nie wieder machen. Zwei Tage lang hatten wir rote, geschwollene Augen (wir sind uns bis heute nicht sicher, ob es an der Schlafmangel und Klimaanlagen-Kombination lag oder ob wir gegen irgendwas in Tucson allergisch waren) und ganz besonders ich fuehlte mich schlapp und krank. Arizona ist erstaunlicherweise gruen, aber trotzdem total wuestig. Was mir am Wenigsten gefallen hat war, dass die Gaerten der - sonst wunderschoenen - Haeuser nur Staub und Sand waren. Gruene Gaerten gelten dort als Luxus, weil es eben so heiss ist, dass man die Pflanzen 24/7 bewaessern muesste. McHubby hat mir gezeigt, wo er aufgewachsen ist und wir waren im Wuestenmuseum (klingt langweiliger als es war) und im Zoo.
San Diego war eines der Highlights. Ich liebe diese Stadt. Am wundervollsten fand' ich den Hundestrand, der leider als Minuspunkt keine Umzaeunung hatte, sodass McPlushy nicht frei rumrennen und mit den anderen Hunden spielen konnte. Genossen hat er es aber trotzdem. Yuri war eher skeptisch und nicht so der Fan vom Wasser/Ozean. Er war die meiste Zeit bei mir, waehrend McPlushy und McHubby im Wasser rennen/spielen waren. Natuerlich waren wir auch im San Diego Zoo, der zum Glueck nicht komplett ueberfuellt war. Mein persoenliches Highlight hier waren die red pandas ♥ Abends waren wir meist downtown unterwegs, ich habe endlich einmal wieder richtige europaeische Eiscreme und Grossstadtflair geniessen duerfen. Am letzten Tag wollten wir noch ins USS Midway Museum, aber es war geschlossen. Seaworld San Diego hat mich am meisten enttaeuscht - Seaworld San Antonio ist dann doch um Laengen besser.
Als Fazit kann ich ziehen, dass San Diego definitiv weiterhin auf meiner "Dort moechte ich spaeter wohnen"-Liste bestehen bleibt. Auch wenn Kalifornien einfach unglaublich teuer ist (wir hatten furchtbar Glueck mit den Benzinpreisen, die erstaunlicherweise knapp unter $4 lagen)

  2. Insgesamt waren wir 2 Wochen unterwegs (fuer Vegas war leider keine Zeit mehr, weil wir laenger in Anaheim/Disneyland geblieben sind). Die Hotels haben wir meist ein bis zwei Tage vorher gebucht, also als wir in Tucson waren haben wir das Hotel fuer San Diego gebucht, in San Diego haben wir das Hotel fuer LA/Anaheim gebucht und so weiter n_n War allerdings im Fall von San Diego keine gute Entscheidung, weil fast alle Hotels ausgebucht waren und wir dann nur ein halbwegs Gutes bekommen haben und mit Raucherzimmer (wuerg)

  6. Es kam immer darauf an, wie lange wir unterwegs waren. Waren wir mehr als 4-5 Stunden weg, dann waren die doggies im daycare, ansonsten im Hotelzimmer (schlafen und Cartoons "gucken" :D)

    Japp, aber ich mochte LA noch nie (haessliche Stadt, das war jetzt mein 3. Mal dort und nach meinem Empfinden wird es immer schlimmer), deswegen waren wir nur kurz in Hollywood (weil ich da in eine Mall wollte) und dann kurz in Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive) und ansonsten sind wir schnell nach Santa Monica gefluechtet, wo wir laenger rumgelaufen sind
