Another day at sea. This morning we took a Behind the Scenes Tour of the ship. We were led by the head of the hotel. It was very interesting. We went through the kitchens, the engineering center, the area where the food is stored, and the laundry. They have a machine there that washes,...
Good afternoon from the mid Pacific Ocean. We are traveling south on the way to Bora Bora. IT’s 4:00 PM here in the middle of nowhere. We will be crossing the equator at 6:00 PM this evening. The captain said in his daily repot we might feel a bump. I didn’t feel anything the...
We had the morning free so we took the shuttle bus to Waikiki area. They dropped us off in front of a Ross store. So what does any woman do? We shopped, of course. We both found a couple flowered shirts for our tropical evenings to come. We then went 2 doors down the...
Good morning from Hawaii! Yesterday was a mostly cloudy, warm, humid day. We had our highlights of the city tour at 11:00. Our first stop was at Iolani Palace, and statue of King Kamehameha. I know the spelling is wrong on that. Spellcheck didn’t change it for me. It was just a photo stop...

We dropped anchor off the coast of the beautiful town of Santa Barbara. After breakfast in the restaurant, we went to the theater to wait for our call to the tender. It was a rough ride in to the pier. We boarded our bus for the Panoramic tour of the city. ...

Our last day at sea for a couple days. We went to a lecture by the British gent. He spoke on the relationship between the UK and USA. He’s so interesting to listen to. At the end when he described the US entering WW11, he became emotional. Glad somebody appreciates us. Our...
