To the West Coast to see family and friends

12 Oct 2015 to 15 Nov 2015
Laurie showed up on the 12th to give us a ride to her place, 2.5 hours away in Woodbridge, VA.  Then she gave us a ride on Tuesday to Reagan Airport and we arrived in LA in the evening where Kris picked us up.  Friday we spent the night at Des and Cheryl’s along with the rest of the gang, Ron and Trudy and Lynne and Steve. 

Saturday morning Des delivered us to the Carnival Miracle Cruise ship in Longbeach, CA, with several van trips and the assistance of his friendly, helpful neighbor Ann.  Next was 15 days on a cruise ship to and from Hawaii with stops in Kauai, Maui, Oahu, Kona and Hilo, Hawaii, and 5 hours in Ensenada, Mexico.  If you want to visit Hawaii, don't do it on a cruise ship.  The cruise ship was nice if you like canned entertainment, but not enough time anywhere in Hawaii to see and experience anything. 

Upon the return we spent 5 days with Ron and Trudy as a base in San Diego with a break in the middle at Mary Kay’s, our daycare provider when we lived there.  A mid week dinner in Mission Valley with Tony and Mary, Bob's boss when he was with Scripps, ended with a run in the rain, along with ¼” diameter hail, to the borrowed truck.  

 On November 7th the Hawaii Cruise Group met at Lynne and Steve’s for a lesson/demonstration making Dichromic Glass pendants in her microwave kiln.  Then back to LA with Des and Cheryl with Kris picking us up the next day.  Stayed with Kris until flying back to Reagan on Thursday.  Picked up again by Laurie where we stayed until she and her friend Angie delivered us to the Zimmerman Boatyard in Mathews, Virginia.
