Eastern Time minus 3 hours
Los Angeles was the official end of the first segment of our Voyage (New York to Los Angeles). One down, five to go.
We had no trouble getting off the ship as "In transit passengers". We were off in 1 minute and through Customs and Immigration. Our friend Kazzie is British and she told me it took her from 10:15 to 11:45 to go though the same, but she needed to do other things to pass. She even needed to get fingerprinted to enter the US.
Our friend Betsy was there to pick us up shortly after 7 AM. She is a great high school friend of both of ours. She still lives in Waukesha, Wisconsin most of the time, but works out of LA. She is involved in the production of television commercials. She flew out to LA the night before to meet us. First stop was Wal-Mart of course. We stocked up on more supplies and then were off to Starbucks for some good coffee.
Here is a picture of the two terrors of our high school.
This is what Betsy and I do best (errands with a lunch and coffee break thrown in). We have been doing this since we were 16 years old and still enjoy it as much! We get our stuff done and still get time to catch up on the news. When we drove past Tuesday Morning we could hardly keep ourselves from stopping.
Our main stop of the day was to visit the old Queen Mary Cruise Ship. We have been hearing a lot about it on this ship and have attended a couple of lectures about her so it was fun to visit.
We had a wonderful lunch and a couple of Bloody Marys and just enjoyed the day.
