TRIP TO CAILIF. PART 1

DANGA BAY 01'23N 103'43E

Allright Boys, Girls and Blog readers, I realize that I have been quite lazy in the updating of our blog but you know everyone can use a break now and then. So when last we left off Kathy and I were returning for a vist to California. Our first in three years. We had two big events planned, three if you would count a few trips to "Blackies by the Sea". As "cruiser" plans are laid in Jell-o another major event came into play. First our trip home. We left Danga Bay and made our way via taxi to a hotel in Singapore in preperation for our two long flights back to California. The first Singapore to Tokyo - seven hours, next on to L.A. - fourteen hours. Now the bonus in flying to the east and across the international dateline is with twenty-one hours of flying and two layover hours in Tokyo we arrived on the same day we departed and only two hours after taking off the first time. Of course the trip back west would be something else.


Kathy managed to spend her time watching movies


Jerry spent most of his time watching the track line of our progress across the globe, I also managed to read a bit. Neither of us slept much but as you see below Kathy looks pretty chipper as we await our ride from LAX



Kathy's girlfriend Debbie Jo picked us up and transported us to her house where we spent part of our time in So Cal.



Now our first scheduled event was the 60th wedding anniversery party for Kathy's parents Ralph and Sally. Wow 60 years!!!


Here's a pre party look with Sally on the left then youngest daughter Kim, her husband Mike then Ralph and Debbie Jo. Though their anniversery we some how did not get a photo of the happy couple.


Sally is quite the artist and has just finished re-tiling the pool!



Ralph and grandaughter Leslie enjoying margaritas at the fiesta.



The three daughters- Karen, Kim and Kathy


This does it for planned event number one and my first posting for awhile.
