Twenty-six miles across the sea ... we step back in time and notch the pace down a bit in beautiful Avalon. Been coming here since I was a child, and it sur
e hasn't changed much! This year's attendees were: Me, Joe, Laurel, Charlie, Greg, Jonas, Slavka, Erin, Mike, Charles, Joan, Andy, Bob, Phyllis, Coy, and Mardi. A few less people than last year, but still a great group!
Our annual Catalina adventure in August was sans my mother this year -- she just didn't feel up to it at the last moment & we cancelled her plane ticket & room, but soldiered on without her. Waiting for us was a wonderful 5 days of Southern California sunshine, relaxation, golf, walking, shopping, fun dinners together, water sports, an organ recital in the art deco theater, our lovely & comfy rooms at the Pavilion Lodge, Bananagrams, margaritas, and just all-around good times. The Pavilion Lodge is now closed, Nov. 30, 2009 until June 1, 2010, for a complete renovation, starting with it's name: now the Pavilion Hotel. The place is being completely remodeled, including an elevator, private patios, executive ocean view suites above the office, a wine/cheese bar, and the loss of the "lollipops" -- the iconic signs from the 50's. Change is hard, but I'm sure they'll do a great job. Looking forward to August 11 - 16, 2010.
