Betty reporting in. Home about 11 last night, but nicest surprise - walked into a Xmas decorated house. Hilton was fine and the Regent staff working there were great. Couldn't believe my good luck at LAX. After checking in at Continental they sent me to over to TSA area. This man says that I would need to put my purse in my luggage. I said I planned to while standing in line. He says - "Lady, you are the line." Unbelievable, but obviously I'm not complaining. Would love to spend the day watching football - instead luggage, laundry and the grocery store are calling. But with such a great cruise just behind me, I won't mind that much.
