Catalina Island!

[glacier_kitty]

Yesterday we got In-N-Out for lunch and drove to Long Beach where the boat was (like 1 1/2 hours away). We got our tickets and waited outside in the nice sun till it was time to board. I think it takes an hour or so to get to Catalina too. We got off at Avalon..I think there were some new buildings. Though I hadn't been there since 2003 (whoa 6 years ago..) so there probably would have been new things. This was my 4th trip to Catalina. We walked around and looked in shops. I got a shirt, two magnets and a keychain thingy. We decided to have dinner early since a lot of things were closing early and the only restaurant we could find that was open was a Mexican restaurant haha (I've had a lot of Mexican food this week :P). The food really wasn't very good. When we left it was basically dark..and it was FREEZING. I bought a hoodie at a shop and put my fleece jacket over it and that did help. Then the Christmas lights turned on..they were cool! Palm trees with Christmas lights..nice. :P We looked in more shops and then just sat by the ocean till it was time to leave. We had to wait awhile to board in the FREEZING COLD..eesh. After we got back to the mainland we drove back to the apartment and had popcorn and did more surveys together. I have pics but I'll post them when I get back to Alaska

Aw..I have to leave today. That went rather fast. It was a good trip though hehe. Hopefully I can get a seat on the side with the glaciers even though it'll be dark and possibly cloudy. Hopefully I'll see *something* though

Yay! I kept on thinking about Catalina Island last night...it's so pretty there...I definitely want to explore more of it one of these days! I'm still hoping I can convince my parents to go when they come visit and have them pay for me haha. ;) It was such a good day...yay! I'm so glad we were able to go.

I hope you get to see glaciers, too!! I'm wishing for you to be on the good side of the plane. :P
