Throughout the day Sun Princess maintained a northerly heading. At about 8am we passed Isla Cedros, which is the home of the Marias Federal Prison. At 10am we were abeam of San Jose as we continued our northerly course along the coast of Baja California.

Today is the last of the 5 sea days enroute to Los Angeles, which is the end of another sector. As it is the last sea day of the sector there were quite a few items on the program today of interest to us.

Today was the photography contest voting session. This sectors topic was 'people' and we had 2 entries, one of which was the photo of Donna with the macaw of her shoulder ( I posted this photo on the Dubrovnik post of the blog)..we did not win (:

Of course it was bingo jackpot session this arvo, which is the only one we go to..we did not win (:

Also a laundry day for us, as we are needing to pack for our 6 days ashore in LA and Hawaii. Those who have cruised will know how hard it can be to get an available machine at times, but have really been lucky as we are on a small lower deck, so not as many people to have to share the laundry with, so dont have the laundry rage that other floors have.

CC get together for drinks this arvo was well attended, so for the second day in a row we had pre dinner drinks before our pre-dinner drinks.

Donna collected the last of her ceramic masterpieces today, she has done very well with them. The ceramics is another of the items that Princess are withdrawing from their ships, which is the cause of some disappointment to a few folks.

Hopefully all is in readiness for our holiday on our holiday in LA and Honolulu, we'll soon find out :)
