Good Morning Kevin,

I would bet there are lots of people that have fond memories of San Diego. Once you have either lived here or even visited for a while, it gets under you skin and calls you back. So why not plan to update those memories and come to San Diego for the NAR meeting next month. In fact you might even want to book a room here at the hotel in the photo and it would have you centrally located right next door to where all the action will be. ActiveRain will be there, front and center.

Hi Susie, Well that is very cool. With everyone coming for NAR week in November, you can fill people in on where to stay. We have a lot of Navy Pilots near by but not so many cowboys.

Hi Bill, Let it snow , Let it snow, Let it snow. Get on that plane Bill and come to the place where the sun always shines and barefoot is dress up.

Michael, The views from this Hotel are next to some of the most beautiful in San Diego. The waterfront on the San Diego Bay will delight all of your senses. Lots to do, lots to see and it all awaits your arrival.

Hi Jeff, Many Thanks. Considering I took this shot from Cornonado  Island, it came out pretty good. The day was a bit hazy but then that can be the case often in late summer. Fall is here and sky will be crystal clear for the NAR meetings and Expo.

Hi Karen, That was an interesting comment. I hadn't thought of it but I guess the hotel architect did, :-)

Hi Michael Thornton, I wrote you a comment back but somehow it didn't post. So here it is again. You would not recognize San Diego today. Back in the 60's , San Diego's main industry was the military. Today, the military shares tha spotlight with Internet Technology, Medical Research, and the tourism trade. Downtown was old then and it has been completely revitalized. Hopefully you will come and enjoy alll the new treasures that make San Diego truly "Americas Finest City"

Hi Sharon, Yes I fully intend to be there and I will of course look for you. You have a few more choices this time around. See you on the 12th

Hi Myrl, So much has changed downtown in particular. It is finally becoming the grand City on the Bay ( think San Francisco and how it became such a popular destination ). We just have better weather, :-) Always appreciate it when you come by. I suspect that I will be taking a good number of photos. I was fantasying this morning of leasing a plane and doing a photo and video shoot of all of San Diego, divided into segments of each community, then selling the rights for reproduction. When I realized the upfront cost, I of course came back to my reality focus and decided it might be best left to others. It was a fun exercise but shows you where my is. Best I correctly re-focus my efforts on my real estate business, LOL.

Hi Joan, I hope you can capture that first snow as it is always the most beautiful. I grew up with snow and it was fun as a kid. It seemed like the bundling up lasted as long a journey out in the weather but was still worth it. The weather patterns give a unique and richness to each area of the world but being able to have a little of of it is ideal. We will get snow here out in the East and this time, I hope to be able to capture our little part in the snow flurries. Because our cars  ( tires) and our lives don't focus so much on it, we often miss the fun parts by not being prepared in time. So I have my senses ready when the snow finally comes to be able to show what snow looks like in pure sunlight of San Diego.

Hi Myrl, I am not for sure if you are speaking of the picture and of the NAR meetings here in San Diego or the contents of one my comments, LOL. Perhaps it was the point about the a room with a water view looking over to Coronado Island. Or that I was going to try and capture a snow fall out East ( like in the town of Julian ) when the snow finally comes there?

Hi Joan, I take it you like Blue, LOL. Lots of blue and white. When I saw this , I was fascinated as it really stands out when viewed from Coronado Island where I took it from. I would have give it points from an architectural vantage.

Hi Joan, BTW, did I forget to post a photo Wednesday. I will have to check. Taking so many pictures these days I guess I could easily find one and fix that, lol.

Hi Joan, Well that is very cool. This picture was taken last month and it was the only one I had with high enough resolution to be used in the Profile. After messing around with changing my professional photo, ( now with low resolution because most settings would not accomodate the portrait quality photos), short of leaving nothing up there, I put this one on. I have been meaning all week to take my professional photo in to have it scanned so I can put back up in the profile.

What is so nice about this current photo is that if you met me, this is what you are likley to see, me with a camera , with one eye looking through the lens lining up a photo.

Hi Denise, Thank you for droping by. They are stunning Denise and they await your return visit. How is the market in Iowa these days?
