Travel: Paradise off the Coast of Sunny Southern California

We started out the morning bright and early making our way to the Senior center where we would take a bus to the Long Beach Catalina Express Depot.  My Momma had arranged for the three of us, herself, Jon and I to go along with the Senior group for a Catalina Island excursion.  We would…
