Nov 14, Friday: Our train/bus trip was uneventful. The train did leave Fresno 20 minutes late but we met up with June and Jason just fine at the Modesto stop. I held our seats so John and Julie could go down and help them on with their luggage. June brought a ton of lunch for all of us to eat along the way. Then it was a quick transfer to the bus and on to the ferry building. The bus driver said since he had so many people going to the ship he would make an unscheduled stop and get us as close as he could. How nice! I never thought that would happen! He seemed to be going further away from the ship at one point but sure enough when we stopped we did get get off less than one block from the ship! There was a long line to actually get ON the ship so I went and stood in that while everyone else dropped off their luggage. No questions about wine this time and not waiting in a separate line to declare the wine we were allowed to bring on. We were assigned early traditional dining, so that is best under the circumstances of this trip. Finally we are on board! Let the fun begin. We walked just a little bit aft to the Terrace Pool and found it to be a lovely, quiet spot. All of our luggage trickled in and we all got unpacked at different times. Julie and Jason took off to find burgers and fries. I think they checked the entire ship while June, John, and I had a glass of wine by the Terrace Pool. Dinner was long but they will speed up I am sure. We went off to bed while the kids to the Movie Under the Stars. I was dozing off by the time Julie got back. We turned the clock ahead one hour. An early end to a full day.
