Was told we are to take the elevator, as a family, together with him from the cruise level to the ground level. That's fine. Then we get to customs and we're told my dad can only be with one person going through customs (Sep customs line) while the rest of my family has to wait in a different much longer line since my dad is disabled. I guess the workers decide what they want to do, not much agreement in the rules. PS Thanks for breaking my suitcase. I loved my cruise though. The port, not so much.

Today I called to get information from the CHP report. The woman who assisted me on the phone was Mary. Mary was professional, kind, & eager to assist me. Fortunately most people do not have to go through moments like I did. I do feel the need to say that CHP in the field and on the phone get my highest praise!

I have reviewed the Redondo Beach CERT and a couple of their stations but I have yet to review the RBFD until today. This past Sunday I was sitting in my home and heard a big thud. It sounded like someone dropped a pallet of wood but it wasn't. It was a drunk driver that ran into a VW Bug and flipped over. When I came outside she was trying to get out but she was unable to do so then she decided to start the car and flee...only problem the car was on its side. It only took a minute or two for the FD and police to arrive. The FD was able to get her out after securing the vehicle with cribbing then the paramedics got her on a stretcher and took her to the hospital and then most likely to jail. The fire department here is great all of them are also trained paramedics and it is nice to have help when needed even if you don't want it. Congratulations to Captain Rick Martinez for receiving the 2008 Medal of Valor Award in Sustained Superiority. He was one of 12 honored in the South Bay and the only fire personnel honored. He has been a great contributor and one of my instructors in the RBFD CERT program www.yelp.com/biz/redondo-beach-community-emergency-response-team-redondo-beach#hrid:j2Bovq1_I34Jc3zCGPvZtA/query:cer

Plenty of FREE parking in the City of El Segundo. Park and do a little bar hopping. A variety of restaurants to choose from. They also have the best gelato here and The Old Town Music Hall features weekend showings of "silent movies" accompanied by live organ music and sound effects. They also show classic "talkies!"

Fire Boat 5 is housed here, is 40' in length and puts out 2500 GPM of water. It is powered by 2 - Caterpillar Diesel drive engines & 1 - Cummings Diesel pump engine. We've been called upon to rescue stranded boaters, sinking boats, boat fires, fires in and around the wharfs, jumpers from cliffs & bridges, drownings as well as the sick & injured from cruise ships. We are currently in "Temporary" quarters, which we have been in since 1992. Pryor to this the members of F.S. 110 lived and worked out of a 5th wheel, shipping containers and old military Quonset huts. So in total throughout F.S. 110's existence (50+ yrs) it has always been in "Temporary" quarters. Life is good. Love my job.

Some of the projects we do are: a free easter egg hunt for local kids, clothe the children for needy children during christmas who get a shopping spree at wal-mart to buy clothes and toys, and Project CHERISH which goes to elderly people's houses monthly and helps them with cleaning that they are unable to do. You can check out the website for more info - but really - this is more than just a local club. It's a group of dedicated people who want to make a difference.
