When we travel, we often try to come away from the experience recalling the many things we did .. the sites ... the sounds .. the food ... the people .. just the ambiance of the many places we found ourselves during our daily trips in and around San Diego. We were never displeased during any of these experiences and hope one day that we can revisit. The one experience that, at times, goes without a great deal of significance is you home base .. the place you wake up every morning and have the first cup of coffee ..the place you return to after a day of taking in all the aforementioned experiences and ready yourself for an evening out to dinner. My wife and I agree that one of the many highlights of our trip was having the privilege of staying in Alan and Tina's home. This charming bungalow, located in a quiet neighborhood of Mission Hills was like having the opportunity to have one's own home for a short time because that is how comfortable we felt staying there. Alan met us upon arrival and he couldn't have been more gracious and helpful. He allowed us an early entry which was much appreciated because it gave us an arrival day that often time goes unused because of the unpacking and settling in. The week went by quickly but we managed to pack enough in to take home great memories that included the helpfulness and kindness of our hosts. Perhaps one day we will return :-)
