Narrative:
We were cleared direct to crg then llake 2 arrival into west palm beach, fl. Upon selecting the arrival in the FMC, we failed to notice that inpin intersection was not loaded. When controller queried us after passing crg (going direct to llake instead of inpin) we were about 35 mi east of course. He gave us a vector to rejoin the arrival. When we asked, the controller stated there was no conflict.
