Well, now that my fingers have thawed out I can write a few lines. As the title indicates, we are just hours away from American soil (well, water in this instance). We are all very excited and anxious to get into San Diego, especially after coming so far. The sun just went down and the air is quite cold....although I'm perfectly okay with it because we are almost there!!

We'll most likely tie up to the quarantine dock and check in with immigration/customs first thing tomorrow morning. For now, we'll get a quick hot dinner together and continue pushing north. If things go as planned, we'll be toasting the Champagne in under 5 hours!
