Day 1: Long Beach to Katalina (Merry Christmas)

It's Day 1 of our annual year end trip with the Kingsdales.  This year Wendy and Saka booked us on a Kruise to Katalina and Mexiko.  The girls started this "K" thing, so I am going with it.

Props to Ian and Friends at Spiritual Gangster

Since there usually isn't a lot of food on kruise ships, we decided to stop at the only place open on Christmas Day.

So incredibly grateful to be Hanging with my Homies for the Holidays (HHH thing). All aboard. Let's Kruise.  

   

It's that time of year where we all take inventory of what we have, what we wish, and what we change.    Wendy's wish is that over the next 4 days we won't have to line up under this sign.

Reid wishes he and Saka were on America's Got Talent

Noah wishes he can find a way to get these Kollege voices out of his head

Nat wishes this dude didn't drop the ring from the Lido deck into the bay

I wish I can win this award next year like my brother Dave did in 2016.

Julia wishes her straw didn't go up my nose (hard to miss)...

From all aboard, to karaoke, to dinner.  All in all a great start.  I wish you all a Happy Hanukah, Merry Kristmas, and a Happy and Healthy New Year.  Off to Katalina!  Bon Voyage!
