Sorry its late! A few stories to come this is the first.

Sorry it's been a while since my last post, we've been out in San Diego for about 3 weeks now, so I'll start with a funny story.

During our first week out it was Saint Patrick's day, now we do celebrate St Paddy's back in the UK but I wouldn't say it's always a massive night. Over here it's a big deal.

Everyone was out and almost everyone was wearing Green, the whole vibe was very festive. We decided to hit the first bar in Carlsbad Village. Now stupidly myself and one of the other guys Sean (who happens to be Irish) forgot our ID, the bouncer politely suggested we go get it then return and so we did.

Upon returning the rest of our party were in a different bar so we had a few in there then returned to the previous bar at which we were originally refused entry. This is where it gets funny.

So we're all queuing up to get in to this bar again I get in with my driver's licence as ID, one of the other guys gets in then Sean gets stopped and told that his Irish passport (which he'd previously been told to fetch) will not be permitted as actual ID! And this is on St Paddy's day of all Days.

So you've got a bar full of people (of which I would imagine very few are Irish) all wildly celebrating an Irish holiday, and an Irish guy stood outside being refused entry! Made us laugh anyway.
