1- here is s. bay Long Beach, CA via google maps - this is right in the harbor area (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&sa...ed=0CAgQ8gEwAA)

2 - Saul waited so long to write in the journal as he had to survive... SIMPLE! Plus I think he wanted to not think of what was happening to BLONDE and his mom and Lady.

3 - Recon Team - They were probably looking for the DOC in charge of the "experiments"... This Army is in need of intel as in the case of Michael being stuck in the Colonel's staff.

4 - items found - Vic/Saul will probably notice after they go thru everything later what they have, including the SAT phone. Will Saul use it or not is the question because we are assuming he knows who is on the other end of it. Will CJ steal it from them?
