• Departing Sunday 28th August ⁸

We had green ribbons for our cases, my coach ‘B‘ – purple ribbon for coach ‘C’ !! But my dad asked for purple ribbons for souvenirs ! The plane began to taxi down the runway at 1025 – making it an hour late. We were served drinks first and then about 1230 we were served lunch. Only 2 1/2 hrs to Los Angeles ! We landed at LA International Airport at 135pm LA time. Before leaving an Immigration Officer asked me if I had come to see the Osmonds ! (what a question!). ‘Yes’ I said, ‘we are going to see the Donny & Marie Show’. As we walked towards the entrance along a long passage, comments were heard from people ‘oh they’ve come to see the Osmonds’, how right they were! Nearly everybody stared at our t-shirts with ‘Osmonds Wondertour ’77’ written on them. We then had to wait for our three coaches. We had a few minutes wait, when they arrived Rosie & Angela took care of the cases while Janice & myself obtained seats on our Coach ‘B’, Ron, our courier boarded & we were off. It was all so exciting. We arrived at Holiday Inn at 420pm feeling tired. We waited on our coach for our keys & then entered our room no. 417, 4th floor.

We looked through the TV guide but no sign of Donny & Marie Show ! At around 6pm we were wanted by our couriers to meet downstairs to talk about different things. We were told about going to the Donny & Marie Show on Thursday, Universal Studios & Marine Land. We returned to our rooms & crawled into bed, wrote to mum & dad & started falling asleep, Goodnight everybody !
