As the weekend dawns, i gather some motivation to write this post. Went on a 5 day trip to LA and San diego last weekend which happened to be a long one thanks to the memorial day and the two additional days i took off, on either side of the weekend. Was a pleasure to be at Disneyland again - really is the happiest place on earth. Second time at Universal studios as well. I could goto these places again and again and never feel bored. Then we drove to the beautiful San diego along the awesome coast line and hit the Wild animal park, which was so-so. Far too less animals for you to watch. The San diego zoo would have been a better bet i thought. Thought we could goto a zoo anywhere else, but the wild animal park was to be found only here at San diego. Obviously the idea bombed. Rounded off the trip with a walk on the san diego beaches and a couple of shows at Seaworld. 

 On both my flight journeys to LA and back from San diego, i was to travel alone and would have a stranger sitting next to me for 3 hours. Was wondering if i should strike a conversation to avoid boredom and it never happened. I saw a young girl (cute and bubbly, round about the same age as i am) reading a novel when i was waiting at my gate before boarding the LA flight and was hoping she would sit next to me on the flight. My prayers were nearly answered. She had an aisle seat in my row and i was in the window seat, with a guy in the middle - shattering all my hopes to pieces. This close !! Cursing my luck, looked at the guy in the middle to see if i can atleast converse with him. He didn't wait a second to plug his earphones into his ears straightaway and dozed off. Ok, see you in hell !!

                  It didn't look that bad on my return trip though. This time a girl sat right next to me, but the pessimistic side of mine reminded me of the previous trip and kept me from attempting anything. Not that i had the opportunity for long. Within minutes of take off she laid her head on the food tray and went into a dream mode i guess. After a couple of minutes, drinks was being served and i asked for and got a coke can. When i tried to open the can, there was this mini-burst sound and this female woke up startled, literally screaming. I couldn't control my laughter when i heard her say she had this dream and there was an explosion in it that woke her up(referring to the bursting sound of the can's opening), even as i was apologizing for disturbing her sleep. Looking least bothered she went back to sleep. That's all. That's all the talk we had.
