update....

My sisters are begging me to update my blog.  The only problem is that I need to prepare for my first relief society lesson on sunday.  Here it is though. 

My trip started and ended the same way. Delayed at the airport. Whenever I fly into LAX or out of LAX my flights are delayed.  Vonda and Bryan arrived on time and had just enough time to walk the hundred miles to my terminal. If I had not been delayed we could have meet in the middle somewhere.  When I finally arrived we got a shuttle and went to out hotel.  Once we got there we decided walk around Downtown Disney.  We had lots of fun in the stores. Vonda had just worked the night before and hadn't had any sleep so we didn't stay to long. We ate at Bubba Gumps and then went back to the hotel. 

Thursday we got up early and went to Disneyland. It was so fun! We rode Indiana Jones first, we got all the classic rides in. Our last ride of the day was Space Mountain. Bryan and Vonda rode together,  I sat behind them, the girls behind me were screaming so loud. I had a headache so I decided to close my eyes and plug my ears. What I didn't remember was that they capture your enjoyment.  We got off the ride and saw the picture. We had to get it because it's so funny! My embarrassment only lasted a moment.  We went to Disneyland the next day as well, it was really great fun!  Saturday we meet up with one of our friends from Provo, Mike.  He is from LA so he took us around.  We went to Venice Beach, I wasn't the biggest fan Venice Beach cause it was dirty and the one street performer we watched was so rude.  We then went to Hollywood.  I had never been to the walk of fame. It was fun to see all the hand and foot prints. Mike also took us to the Griffith Observatory.  We say all of LA.   

We woke up early Sunday and went to San Pedro to board the Visions of the Sea. It was Vonda's 21st birthday. What a great birthday week! We meet a couple on the shuttle to the port that go on cruises to gamble.  They won 12,000 on the first night!  I think there names were Sue and John.  I was looking through one the books that Vonda got in the mail about the cruise. One of the pages was birthday, anniversary banners that you could buy to have put in your rooms. So I told Kanoe that we needed to do it and she was in charge of distracting Vonda so that I could purchase it.  Kanoe distracting tactics were amazing. The only problem was that we didn't know when it would be done so we had to keep her out of the room as much as we could. At one point we both just looked at each other and decided that if they were decorating it would have to be okay cause we didn't know what else to do. We lucked out and they decorated while we were at dinner. We went to our room after and when she say it she was very excited. I think it made her day. Which was my only goal. 

The first night on the ship was so great!  We made lasting impressions on a lot of people. Vonda and Kanoe decided to order drinks, Virgin of course.  They told us that they were, we decided to go to the movie of the night, which was Transformers. We showed up and there were two boys there so we decided to sit in front of them.  It only took a moment for us to say something to them.  The only problem was that we were so giggly. The only explanation for our craziness is the sugar.  Don't worry I only had one little sip.  Skyler and Taylor thought we were drunk.  We told them over and over again that we weren't.  It was the start of a great week.  This is where I have to end because I need to prepare for my lesson.  To be continued.....with pictures.
