LA Weekend Destination: San Diego!
We're headed on our Mini-moon this weekend and taking the adventure down to one of LA's favorite weekend spots: San Diego! We'll be staying at Paradise Point in Mission Bay, and although we're trying to keep the schedule rather light so that we can relax, this ain't our first rodeo in San Diego, and we've got a few things that we like to do while we're down there. Of course I plan on sharing; that's where the info-tainment comes in!
First step is first...we're leaving for SD on a long, holiday weekend. So departure timing is critical if you don't want to get hosed in traffic. To avoid having to play the timing game, the Amtrak Surfliner is always a viable option, which I've enjoyed on more than one occasion. However, times to depart in the situation that we are facing this weekend include... prior to 11am on Friday or Saturday, or after 7pm on Friday or Saturday....and that's it.
Got more wedding photos to post coming up, and will definitely be checking back in to update on some of the to-do's in SD. But until then, time for coffee, loading up the car, and headin' out!

Last Words
In just 3 hours I'll be a married man.
It's prep time, and photos are imminent, but I'm excited & waiting, so I'll kill some time with a post.
Preparing to hear every cliche greeting & congratulations in the book, but can't wait to see & party with everyone.
And of course, after party will be at Villa Sorriso on Colorado @ Pasadena Ave, 10:30pm; we've got 2 VIP tables!

FINAL WEEKEND: Results
Okay, so I had to spread my planned adventures across 2 days, but here's how it went...
- Went by an Open House in Marina del Rey. I'm finally seeing real estate prices venture into the believeable levels of reality, so I thought I'd check it out. The owners are auctioning the place via in interesting concept of round-robin bidding, executed over the phone. Best of luck to them, and I'm curious to see how much they get for the 2-2.5, 1,575 sqft condo. If it goes for under $450K, I'll know that the market is serious about attracting buyers, but until then, I'm happy to sit on the sidelines and watch the equity bloodbath.
- Find an after-party spot: Looks like Liv Lounge will be the spot; just have to talk to the folks there and see how they can accomodate.
- Santee Alley: Huge success, got everything I needed and more. I always get excited when I'm there, yet depressed that I don't frequent the place more often. Oh yeah, they started a rewards program that a number of the bodegas are participating in; 10% off purchases at participating stores, and the card only costs you $1 for the month! Definitley put that bad-boy to use.
- Photos: It was so gorgeous on Sunday morning, I had to head to Echo Park to take some photos. I'll post them this week after I get a chance to touch them up a bit.
-Massage: Got my monthly over at Massage Envy. Received devastating news that my massouse is leaving next week, but I'll survive. Never had any Thai worked into my massages before...whoa! A stretch with the massage is something I could get used to!
- Never made it to Fry's and still need to get blank CD's. See, this concept is so foreign to me that I forgot to complete the task!
Oh, BTW....this is THE SPOT'S 100th Post...Wahoo!

FINAL WEEKEND: What to Do?
So this is my final weekend as a 'single' man...what to do? Well, I've been blogging about myself more than I'd care to of late, so I would enjoy deflecting attention by doing some passive blogging and taking-in the environment. That's right, it's adventure time! And while I'd like to post an update or two to The Spot during the day, it'll be much easier to update twitter, so follow the feed on the right side of the page, or follow me @cbucka on twitter. But anyway, here's the rough itinerary...
- Santee Alley: Need shades, and a ring-bearer gift for the nephew.
- Fry's, Manhattan Beach: Need blank CD's (I know, who uses those anymore, right) to copy music for the wedding
- Redondo Beach: Hang with the 'rents and Grandpa down in the South Bay
- Pasadena: Check out potential after-party locations
-Glendale: Probably going to take photos around town, we'll see.

8 Days to go: Random Thoughts
Okay, the wedding is just 8 days away....aren't I supposed to be freaking out, mid-life crisis style!?!....still waiting on that.
8 days left; everything will be different after that! Really? Like 28 and 364 days felt any different than my 29th birthday? Granted, I'll be wearing a ring, but I'm in a rather rationally-charged, mature relationship, so the concept of everything changing is lost on me until I hear the life altering phrase, "I'm pregnant!"
On my flight to Vegas, I was utterly crushed when I realized that we didn't register at Sky Mall.
I'm seriously contemplating just losing it and making up a tragic story the next time someone gives me those googley eyes and asks if I'm ready for the 21st. Honestly, that question alone causes me more stress than the process has.
