Debbie and I had prayer together a little after 6 AM.   I showered and shaved; all of us had packed most of our things last night and did not take long to finish packing this morning.  We put all our luggage (13 pieces) in the foyer and went to breakfast in the top deck, 17th level.  It was very nice and the waiters made it special serving the children with patience.  Marla met us in the lobby at 9:00 AM and she took us through the crowds to the luggage area where another employee of Royal Caribbean met us with all our luggage.  We went through immigration with the new facial recognition scanning and did not have to show our passports.  Ed, our shuttle driver, with Select Transfers Florida was waiting on us with our name on his sign.  This is probably the best shuttle service anywhere we have used traveling.  The dispatcher called me when we were at the dock to make sure we and Ed, our driver had made connections.  We had to stop on the side of the road for Ethan to go relieve himself.  He took us to the Bumby Ward and attended Sacrament and Priesthood with the young men that I went to with eh boys.  Debbie, Alex and Gracey went to Relief Society.  While we were waiting for the Sacrament to begin, Luke set off the fire alarm on the inside of the building.  Tucker and he were playing; Luke froze when the fire alarm went off and Tucker ran.  I spoke with Bishop Purcell from the boat yesterday.  He welcomed us and I was invited to stand in the circle of a couple of young men being ordained Teachers today in the Aaronic Priesthood­­­­­­.  Ed attended Sacrament and Priesthood meeting with us.  After church we changed into our traveling clothes in the church restroom.  It was only a 12 to 14 minute drive to the airport in Orlando from the Bumby Ward.  Edd dropped up off at the terminal and we had everyone together and the children were wound up.  The Delta employee in charge of directing the people flying on Delta at the check in counter was stress with our group of children.  Luke took the rope down that handles the flow of people and could not get it back up and connected.   He told Debbie to take the children and go to Priority Ticketing.  She told him our group was not priority.  He told her it does not matter just go.  The ticketing agent wanted to charge us $30 for 6 bags but when I showed her my Delta American Express Card she continued without any charge.  Because of the TSA-Global Entry cards Debbie and I have we did not have to wait in the regular lines going through security.  It took Alex, Gavin and Blake much longer to go through security.  We stopped at gate 71 where the movie Incredibles was playing.  Our gate 77 is further down the terminal.   We have about 5 hours or longer to wait before we start boarding the plane for LAX and I had some time to read and study Hebrew.  We traveled about 5 hours to Las Angles International Airport.  Michael arrived from Boston just before we arrived and met us at our gate when we got off the plane.  We all got our luggage at baggage claim.  Michael, Alex, Gavin, Blake and Gracey helped us get on the Hertz Car Rental Shuttle before catching their shuttle to the airport parking lot to get Alex car Michael parked before catching a plane to attend his college class back east.  We ate breakfast on the ship and I have not purchased any food today.  We got an SUV from Hertz and drove out of LA to the intersection of I-5 and Hwy 99 at Bakersfield.  I filled the SUV with gas and fed everyone at In and Out Burger that was still open at 1 AM.   After we ate I drove to Rae Lynn and Brett's in Clovis.  We got there about 3:30 AM.  The children and Debbie slept most of the way.  We unpacked the SUV and the children were asleep by the time I got in the house.  Brett left the front door unlocked for us.  Debbie and I had prayer and got to bed a little before 4 AM.
