LEAVING WITHOUT THE BRITISH AND THEIR MORGANS

It is just so close, but sadly we will leave Newport Beach at 9 AM without the British and their Morgans.

The ship arrived in Los Angeles last evening (Tuesday) and left this afternoon. We had high hopes that the container would be unloaded and hauled to the warehouse before closing, even agreeing to pay overtime if the workers had to stay to unpack the container. But alas, they put the container in a "safety area" and locked it up for the night. It is believed there is an appointment to pick up the container at 8 AM and then process it. It is hoped that the British will have their Morgans by 11 AM and will be on their way to Brawley, just about 4 hours after us.

Yesterday, the French complimented my planning by visiting the places that were suggested in the Daily itinerary. 

They visited the Queen Mary ship, visited Santa Monica, then took the ferry to Balboa Island. Some beautiful photos were taken by Christian.

Others drove the Palos Verdes Scenic Drive, walked down to Balboa Island and back, and shopped at Fashion Island. We did nothing exciting, just prepared for leaving on the tour. 

This evening, the Morgans are sleeping in the car park under watchful eyes of the Valet's, who would love to drive them, but are not allowed.

Off to bed for a good night's sleep and early morning departure.
