We have spent the last 6 days sailing for our final port of San Diego and we arrived this morning at 7:30 to blue skies and sun shine. Some of the parents came out to meet the ship as we pulled into the harbor and there are quite a number holding up welcome home signs on the pier.

All our baggage has been picked up and stored on the lower decks and is now being moved to shore. We have to clear Customs here. Because of the number of people that will be getting off the ship, everyone was divided into groups and the individual groups disembarked one at a time. We finally got the OK from Immigration and our group, the second to get the go ahead to disembark, moved off the ship about 10:30. It took us another hour to locate all our luggage and boxes, clear Customs, locate the UPS truck and send our 5 boxes to Seattle.
We finally got to the airport about 1:00 PM for our 5:00 PM flight to Seattle only to find out that our flight had been delayed until 7:30 PM. We tried to check our luggage in for our flight, but we were way to early so rather than try to see any of San Diego with 4 large duffle bags in tow we would just hung out at the airport until the flight left.
We finally arrived home in Seattle about 11:00 PM. It was an unforgettable trip. We made friends from all over the U.S. and have had wonder adventures with many of them. It was sad to say goodbye, but nice to be home. Now comes the reentry back into our normal lives and the task of getting ready for Christmas that is 10 days away.
