First Day

Quick review of things so far:

Arrived at San Diego airport early. Everything has gone smoothly. Holland America (HA) took my bags and I just had to wait for the bus to the pier. Have already met some very nice folks also connected to the Air America (AA) group on the ship. Almost 400!

The ship (Oosterdam) is huge, of course. And gorgeous. It's got all the modern stuff you'd expect for a new ship. Here's info on it, if you're interested.

The Oosterdam

Lunch was wonderful - buffet with almost everything you could think of to eat for lunch. Sat with 3 Air Americans. Talked politics, of course. It's so nice to be surrounded by like-minded people.

Found the check in for AA. It's so nice that they are planning that everyone will get a chance to have lunch with the speakers at some point. Dinners will find the speakers available, too, but we don't know yet who will be here when.

I've already met Randi Rhodes. She is so nice!

We have the speaker schedule but I forgot to bring it with me. As soon as I can I'll post it here.

If you have any questions for the speakers, let me know. I can probably pass them along to someone who will see that they get them.
