I’ve been keeping track of the weather and it looks to be cool by California standards which is just fine by me.

Our heat has already started here on the Central Coast. Yesterday was 88°F and the day before was 93°F.

Looking forward to spring flowers, mountains and castles.

Trying to figure out what to bring. Don’t want to bring too much but I definitely want to bring enough. We’ll need a separate case just for electronics between the cameras, iPads, chargers and whatnot. Not really, at least I hope not!

Our adventure will begin at Manchester Airport where we’ll catch a cab to our hotel for the night and retrieve our rental car in the morning when we’re a bit more alert.
