chimes . . . not so musical

we finally made it to San Diego just about 2 hours late due to . . . the chimes.   and no "the chimes" are not a new musical group but it does have a catchy sound to it.  the chimes/bells in the cabin kept chiming and chiming and chiming which is annoying and annoying and annoying especially with about 190 people onboard and that includes about 10 families with very small children (and all that entails).  finally after about an hour and half and 3 maintenance guys later we left PHL for the almost 6 hour flight to SAN.  so far both of the trips i have worked on in december have had delays.  perhaps, it's me.  it was raining when we arrived but after a wee nap, the rain stopped and  i walked to Horton Plaza and the Gaslamp District.  the next morning i went for an early morning walk to the harborfront passing thru Little Italy and by the Tall Ships, and the Midway aircraft carrier.

here are a couple of images from my overnite in San Diego.
