On Vacation!

...and only time will tell (well, about 7 a.m. tomorrow will tell) whether I decide to take my laptop with me so I can blog from beautiful downtown Puerto Vallarta....

If you are in PV, you best not be blogging. Too much life to live to be tied to this. Have a great time, which since this is tomorrow, you are already having.

I read parts of a novel I wrote about ten years ago. This popped up. It's your town, which misses you cause you are in Mexico.

Heidi wanted to see California from the inside of the car, air conditioning at full bore. We headed west to Malibu and Pepperdine, the ultimate beach college. We spent about 15 minutes on the beach. Heidi had more on then any three other girls and knew it. This was not going well. We headed up Malibu canyon and stopped for a late lunch in the wonderful town of Westlake Village. Even that was too hot. All Heidi wanted was ice and she was getting sick.

Well, I took the laptop, figured out how to hook up through the local Earthlink access number so it only cost about $.40 and promptly never checked messages after the first time.

So where in Westlake Village did your characters (you?) have lunch? Hope it was by the lake...it's awfully nice there. :-) And...gee, what time of year? It's hardly ever really hot here.

I was in Westlake Village in 1959, or at least somewhere at the top of the drive up from Malibu. We stopped in a strip mall and ate at a burger place stuck at one end. It was the first time I had seen a strip mall with a burger place next to a cleaners. I can still see the design in my mind, walking down the sidewalk in front. It seemed so modern to me. We parked in this huge lot and shopped in several stores without moving the car once. And it was free, no parking meter. This was well before "real" malls and probably already old in California. We only did this at grocery stores in Washington.
