January 3rd, 2012 - Arrival in San Diego

I arrived in San Diego a little after 2PM today to beautiful sunny skies.
The flight was late leaving Denver while they begged for seven people to
give up their seats. They were finally successful when they upped the ante
to a hotel for the night, $400 voucher per ticket AND first class seats for
the following day. At that point a family of five got off the plane and
will continue their trip back home tomorrow.

I haven't slept well the past two nights - excited about the trip - so - I
think I will sleep in and enjoy breakfast in my room. The plan is to take us
over to the ship about 11:30 tomorrow morning for boarding. If I am lucky,
my bags will be in my room waiting for me and I can get the unpacking done.
If not, I might have to go up and sit by the pool. We will have four days
at sea before we arrive in Honolulu, so I am sure I will get plenty of time
to sit in the sun and read. I got a little ambitious preparing for the trip
and have 79 unread books loaded on my Kindle - all fiction. I am sure there
are some of you who are surprised to hear that I read fiction!

The ship is due to sail out at 5PM tomorrow. You can go to this web site and
watch it sail away: http://www.cruise-cams.com/

Internet service on the ship can be hit and miss (and I am new at this), so
do not be concerned if you do not see me posting.
