March 4, 2013 Made it to California!

Hi All,
We made it into California today ... as far as Chico.  We opted to go a less hectic route so veered off on HWY 99 and lots more to see!
We didn't plan to go too far as we had some errands to do today - one being a liquor load-up at Costco!  I know ... I know ... but it's hard to beat Tequila at $18.99 for a one litre bottle!

We also had to deal with our phone issues ... plans in Canada are WAY too expensive to call or surf the internet so we wanted to go with our un-locked IPhone and stick in a sim card from T Mobile like we did before.  Not so simple anymore.  The only plan we could find that was cheap was thru Walmart and they don't sell sim cards.  So had to track down a T Mobile office who finally sold us the card ... then had to find a Walmart and wait while they figured out how to do what we wanted to do (about 1/2 hour on the phone to T Mobile!).  But we're good to go now for the next month anyway and will have to buy more time on a monthly basis. 

The weather is amazing ... up to 20C today and we're in short-sleeved shirts!  Rain expected tomorrow but tonight sitting out with our glass of wine (thanks Costco!) was heavenly!  We hope to make Bakersfield tomorrow but who knows?  We're taking things as they come and not getting too wrapped up in specifics. 

Time to clean up after dinner ... more later!
