The trip from Jacksonville to San Francisco was uneventful, thank goodness. We did leave the house at 4:44 AM. The only log jam was getting from the San Fran airport via the super shuttle. Others were on the shuttle and had to be dropped off first. Not a problem, but wait, there was a San Fran Giants baseball game and traffic was backed up. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get from the airport to the ship. Thank goodness the ship didn't leave until 6 PM so we had plenty of time.


Well, here it is on our third day. We are in Los Angeles today and are just chilling.  Kinda what we did yesterday at sea. We  ate, lounged around the pool, had a pina colada at 10 AM, ate some more. I did surprise Barbara with a dozen roses, champagne, chocolate covered strawberrys and a dinner at a French restaurant on board. We also have a fruit basket with a bottle of wine.

After going over the internet package with the "expert" I'm finally able to access the blog. Hopefully the pictures will turn out.
