REALTIME
Travel in Southern California
Southern California has freeway sensors that feed into this clickable
freeway map! It shows traffic jams and accident spots, updating every
two minutes. Or go right to their Trouble
Spots list. I WANT THIS IN MY CAR!
Route
66
Yes, the place to get your kicks on. I've lived most of my life on
or near Route 66, so I travel a small portion of this historic route almost
every day.
Figure
Skating Home Page
My husband and I travel everywhere to see figure skating live. One
of our happiest times was celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary at the
World Figure Skating Championships in Oakland, California. Our favorite
skaters, Marina Klimova
and Sergei Ponomarenko, won their event there and later had their Pro
debut near where we live in southern California. We met them two days after
they bought a home not far from us in Lake
Arrowhead. Since then we've gotten to see them skate "Romeo and Juliet"
there under the trees and stars and it makes me wonder, can anything get
more magical than this? Browsing the posts on the
Skating
Newsgroup helps us decide where to go next!
Disneyland
I've lived most of my life about 30 minutes away from Disneyland, and
now that we have annual passports we go about once a week. The main link
here is the official Disneyland page, but here are some of my other Disneyland
favorites:
-
Hidden Mickeys Page - A scavenger
hunt list for Disneyland. "Disneyland will never be completed as long as
there is imagination left in the world" - Walt Disney
-
Werner's Yesterland Page
- "Yesterland will never be completed as long as there are attractions
left to close in Disneyland" - Werner Weiss
-
John's Disneyland Page
- Whatta guy! Lots of annual pass anecdotes

Inner Travel
Sometimes it doesn't matter where you are on the outside, if you aren't
happy on the inside. To this end I try to center myself with the Daily
Word from Silent Unity and
repeat the day's affirmation throughout the whole day. My favorite affirmations
are the ones about Divine Order:
Divine order surrounds me and is within me. I am calm and collected.
