I just spoke with Mom, and they are in LA and spending time with her friend Betsy.
It's 8:30am there and they are already done with their Wal-Mart run. She bought a notebook so she can "take better notes for the blog."
Now they're off to Starbucks and then on to Best Buy to purchase the photo software that has been used in the on-board computer classes.
They have been very busy on board. Mom said that on Monday alone she had two computer classes, book club, a lecture, and a group meeting for the online forum www.cruisecritic.com.
They are still looking for the perfect dinner companions, but have a new table tonight as many people are boarding the ship in LA.
She said that she has a lot of on-board photos, including some of Dad fencing, but they're waiting to send them until they have a few days at sea. When they depart LA tonight, they have four days at sea before arriving in Hawaii, and then four more days at sea before arriving in American Samoa.
I think that the more exotic portion of the trip starts now!

I think I've said this before, but they love getting the comments. If you have any suggestions on what she should write about, if anything is too long or too short, etc. leave it in a comment.
Mom is up about $150 in Blackjack and thinks she's played about 50 hours so far. Not bad!
They have champagne with Stirling and Clare (on their balcony) every time the ship leaves port, so they stocked up on a few bottles tonight. Stirling and Clare will be on the ship until Sydney.
There is a big gala planned for when the ship is in Lisbon, Portugal. There will be a fancy dinner with free wine, and there is rumor it may be held in a bull ring? Stay tuned for updates.
