Our trip has begun! We don't board the ship until tomorrow; today we flew to LA and are staying the night at the Crowne Plaza nearby. Tomorrow we get up at 3 am LA time (thank God that's 6 am our time!) to board a flight to Vancouver and start the cruise.

Today's flight was completely uneventful and arrived early. It's not quite 2:30 LA time, and we're lounging in our room for a while. Dinner will be at the hotel (too tired for the originally planned foray into LA), then a very early night so we can be ready to go in the wee hours.

Probably no posts for a while after this. Just assume we're having a great time.

A few photos of the room and our view of the end of one of the LAX runway.

Haha! I actually love doing the same thing. We always stay at the airport the night before we fly to Disney. I always request airfield view and then sit at the window at night watching the planes come and go while listening to air traffic control on my iPhone app. I'll be doing it again this Friday.

Have a great trip!!!

Forgot to mention, our room tonight was upgraded to club level. Yeah, it's nice. I could get used to it. Unfortunately, we have to check out before the free breakfast is served.

That's really cool! I've never stayed at an airport hotel before, so I'd never considered the free entertainment that comes with the location. Here's hoping that yesterday's flight was uneventful also!

OMG OMG OMG THIS IS THE BEST VACATION EVER!!!!!!!

We love it so much we've booked the October 2016 Big Meet Up cruise.

The ship is pulling in to Hilo, so I now have phone service again. Will post a few things on the fly.

And hubby isn't at all bothered by the expanse of the ocean, and my scopolamine patches tamed the motion sickness. Yay for cruising!
