I had to delete 109 spam comments after finishing up yesterday&#8217;s post. And this morning when I logged on, another 51.\u00a0What the heck? I am not interested in knock-off (or real, for that matter), Louboutin shoes, Louis Vuitton bags or Versace evening gowns. One thing that I find somewhat curious, yet satisfying,\u00a0is that people I don&#8217;t even know are finding this blog and letting me know how much they enjoy it. I never thought that would happen and the cynical side of me (is there another side-lol?), wonders why and how and is this normal or legit?<\/p>\n<p>After Redding, we headed toward Monterey hoping for a few stops along the way. This is another one of those, if we weren&#8217;t ready to be home, we would stop in Napa for a few days, and Sonoma, and\u00a0San Francisco\u00a0and and and we&#8217;d be home in September (I meant for there to be three ands, btw, to make a point). Granted, we&#8217;ve been all over this area before, but I really like it and it&#8217;s been a LONG time&#8230;..But, we need to keep the momentum. These one nighters are killers though. So much driving, so little stopping. Thank god the first 8 weeks didn&#8217;t have this pace! We decided to treat ourselves and end this trip on a high note, so we are staying at Hyatt Regency&#8217;s the last two nights. You only live once, right? And to quote Rick-&#8220;it&#8217;s only money, it ain&#8217;t blood.&#8221; You know me, though, I still got good deals on those places.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m gonna admit it right here, I was really crabby on the drive here. I didn&#8217;t sleep well last night and I\u00a0was so hungry and the two places I really wanted to stop at just didn&#8217;t happen. I swear my husband never gets hungry! My stomach is eating itself, and yeah, he could eat something, after I bring it up in my cranky tone. If you know me, you may have heard it. It&#8217;s not good. After checking in to the hotel, we took a nice long walk along the bay and stopped for a delicious sushi dinner. My happy voice reappeared. Thank god. I was even annoying myself. More walking and a lot of picture taking later, we came back to the hotel. I broke in to one of the bottles of wine I bought yesterday. Yum.<\/p>\n<p>Holy cow. Tomorrow is our last night of this epic adventure.
