San Diego, California

I've been neglect. The truth is, I thought I accidentally deleted this blog. I'm glad that I didn't. Let me share a little bit about San Diego with you. I went to San Diego over a week ago for a little job training and was able to experience a little of the city. It is so close my trips to San Diego rarely wind up with overnight stays. This trip I stayed in Downtown San Diego and I would happily stay there again.

The trolley was right behind my hotel and for $5.00 you can have unlimited use of it for the day. I took it to Old Town and to Seaport Village. What a relaxing way to travel once you figure out how to use it and where it goes.

Approximately a two hour drive from Los Angeles, if you haven't made a trip to San Diego I highly recommend it. There are many places to go. I will even suggest that on your way home you plan to stop at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, about half an hour outside of San Diego as you head back to L.A. Check out of your room early, spend most of the day there and then continue your ride home.

The Flower Mart

If you like flowers or have been looking for flowers for someone and you've never been to the Flower Mart near downtown Los Angeles, you don't know what you're missing.

Open for both retail and wholesale business you can find the largest selection of flowers and plants you could ever hope for. It's located on Wall Street between 7th and 8th Street. There are a few individual shops on the street then one open marketplace with numerous vendors with varied flowers and plants for sale.
You can buy individual bunches of flowers to create your own arrangment or purchase one of many bouquets of flowers ready to put in a vase. On my trip I spent $18.00 and had enough flowers to fill two vases. They have everything you need to create the floral arrangement of your choice and at a lower price than buying them from a local flower shop.

The visual allure and the intoxicating aroma will hook you!
