Sunday November 15, 2015 San Pedro, CA

I had the alarm set for 6 AM.  Our plan was to leave at 9 and drive to the Port of Los Angeles at San Pedro.  We started our coffee while getting our last minute items packed and then loaded into the car.  We were on the road by 9, but had to stop at Sam's for gasoline.

We stopped for lunch and fuel at the Costco store in Victorville.  Traffic was backed up when we started down from Cajon Pass and we ran into rain after passing the Glen Helen area.  Traffic backed up again on I-10 because of an accident and was slow again when we reached the 605 because of another accident.

We were checked into the Doubletree Hotel by 3:00.  A little after 4pm I went out to try to find a cache that was at the end of the hotel parking lot.  The cache hadn't been found since October 13 and had a did not find logged on November 12.  I looked anyway, but had no luck.  There are a couple of caches near the cruise ship terminal but that is a couple of miles away.  I may try them when we are back in port next week between our cruises.  When we passed the terminal there were two ships docked there, one Princess and some other brand, NCL.  This picture was taken from our room, looking out over the marina.  There must be thousands of boats in the marina.  It makes me wonder how many of them ever leave the marina.

After I returned to the room we went to the hotel dining room and had Fish and Chips.  While at dinner we saw a cruise ship leaving the harbor.  It wasn't the princess liner we had seen earlier.

We returned to our room and were in for the night.
