Back in Torrance

Aloha Everyone,

Entry back to the United States going through Customs & Immigration was without any incident. Since implementing facial biometrics into the entry process, including at the San Pedro cruise terminal, the longest wait was onboard the ship. Sitting in one of the designated lounges, the two of us chatted with a couple from Vermont who shared universal emotions of disembarking passengers: happy to be going home but reluctant to leave the pampered cruising lifestyle.

J.J. and I were able to complete 5 things we had on our list of things to do including going to the bank, getting our prescriptions before checking in at ESA (Extended Stay America).

My sister dropped by to see me and gave us delicious persimmons from my Mother’s backyard, which we enjoyed with Japanese bento. 





Aloha -- Cathi
