Off to the Races

When you get ready to go to the horse races in Del Mar, don’t forget your hat. Floppy ones decked out in ostrich feathers compete with Panama straw hats on people of all ages. At Del Mar you can get close to the horses and jockeys before they hit the track. Don’t forget to place your bet. Then watch the race from start to finish. If you’re lucky you will see an event that happens infrequently…a dead heat win. No horse won by a nose this day. Two both finished as winners.

Here’s this week’s travel tip. When you are booking your airline reservation, write down the airline’s 800 number and keep it with your trip info.
