We're home! Just kidding. But it almost feels like it because we put our feet on US soil today! One day's stop in San Diego today let 800 passengers off and took on 700 new ones. These "transition" days are hard on the staff and hard on the oncoming passengers as well. Room stewards are busy getting rooms of departing departing passengers cleaned and ready for new passengers as they arrive. The cruise terminal is chaos as long lines of weary travelers standing in winding lines to await processing. Some fail to obtain visas from various countries and frustrations of those behind them rise. Been there, done that and thankful we don't have to do it again.

Even though California is one of my least favorite states, it was nice to be in familiar surroundings. Any time there's US currency and a Walmart Super Center, it feels like home. Hopefully before we set sail, Amazon boxes will be delivered to our room as well.

The weather is beautiful today, though always windy in and around a port. Our "excursion" today was a walk to the nearest UPS store and Uber rides to and from the nearest Walmart Super Center, 20 minutes each way.

It's hard to believe we're already 1/3 of the way through our trip around the world, but we're ready to set sail again. Oh, and we were able to find mint chocolate and banana chips for our room stewards. Good ole' Walmart and good ole' USA.
