Huntington Beach vacation post 2 Karaoke!This is another post about part of my recent vacation in Huntington Beach California.I went to visit my daughter Sue, her husband Chris and my 2 Grandsons Max and Jake February 15 to the 27th.I have always wanted to try Karaoke since so many friends and others say it is a blast but I never did …....... until I told my daughter. She promptly found a place and invited some friends to join us and there I was doing Karaoke in Huntington Beach California.

Ok, I know "why" you don't want to pay - but "why" don't you want to pay? Sound a little confusing?  I'll straighten out the two "whys" in just a minute.  I am a Realtor - a Listing Agent, a Buyers Agent and an Agent who does a LOT of leases/rents.  So - on to first "why".  I know why you don't want to pay a Realtor.  You think you can just stick a sign in front of the house, put an ad in the paper and get that tenant, and it will cost your very little , if nothing.  And if you hire a Realtor, we will charge you to do the same things you just did, but it will cost you.  Do I have that right?  Is this what you are thinking??? On to the 2nd "why".  Why would you not want to pay a Realtor to do this job?  I know what the current rental prices are in your neighborhood.  I put it on the MLS ... 03/13/2012

Huntington Beach vacation post 1A train ride and the zoo.This is a post about part of my recent vacation in Huntington Beach California.I went to visit my daughter and her family including 2 grandsons.It was a hectic time and a great time. I got to spend some time playing with the boys and they got to see me again other than on Skype.

Yesterday was lifeguard requalification at Huntington Beach. And the returning lifeguards swam their requal swim of 1000 yards in a cool 53 degree water. However, the air temp was like summer (and it is today too). There were also lifeguard tryouts for new lifeguards, and that consists of a 1000 yard swim, and a run - swim - run. Always great to watch this event, and see the dedication of these lifeguards. It was a beautiful day and the Huntington Beach Pier in the distance was gorgeous!   03/04/2012

Surf City Here I ComeIn a few hours I catch an early flight and after laying over to change planes in Atlanta I am off to Huntington Beach California to visit my daughter and two grandsons and son-in-law.
