New Years

2 years ago we came down for New Years and celebrate Kathie's birthday on Jan 5- every since we had been coming down she had wanted to celebrate both.
We were at Pacifica for New Years and had dinner and watched the fire works at El Faro's- the view was awesome with the burst right in front of you looking over the beach and water. 1 time is enough, Pacifica it seamed had over 100% occupancy and ran out of food items during the week waiting for resupply for the kitchens. We could not wait to get to the Grand for piece and quiet. We had heard it would be crowed but not that crowed.
