OHh yes indeed, we have to accept we have days that go right and days that go wrong, I think the key is to strive and find something positive either way :)
Yes many of the beaches here are resident sticker parking only, but generally early morning they do not mind, that said I almost got a ticket this morning at a Beach in Marion, I saw a car stopped behind mind and walked over to check it out, it was a police officer, and when he saw I was taking photos he said good thing you walked over I was about to give you a ticket, the beach doesn't open till after sunrise, so I got lucky ;)
and yes 4:30 counts :)
