Day 9: Departure and Back Home
Friday, March 14, 2025

Easy to summarize: up at about 6:30A to shower and complete the packing, then off the ship via self-departure at 7:30A.  Long walk from ship to customs, but through customs by about 7:40A.  Lyft driver arrived at 7:55A and we were at LGB at 8:30A.  Grabbed airport muffins and boarded our plane right around 10:00A.  Back at SJC about 11:45A.  Luggage about 12:05P, parking shuttle about 12:15P, drive-thru McD’s on the way home and back in the house about 12:40P.  Suitcases unpacked, laundry sorted, all gear put away by 1:00P.  Now just…sitting, relaxing, and letting Midnight welcome us home!
