Honolulu

Aloha from Honolulu! We've had a very relaxing 4 days crossing the Pacific. One of my concerns had been rough seas, but we've had calm conditions. So far, so good . . . I haven't felt the least bit seasick!

Flat John and Flat Mary Ann have met some great people, from all over the world. The 2 of them especially enjoyed the ship's wine tasting a few days ago.


"Flat John & Flat Mary Ann with Suzy, one of the people who sits at our table at dinner."


Our dining table is made up of all Americans. Besides Bill and I, there's a couple from Oregon, a couple from Arizona, and 2 ladies from Florida. We all hit it off right away.

Today we took the shuttle from the port into Waikiki, with a stop along the way at the Maui Divers Jewelry factory, which both of us enjoyed. At Waikiki we tried something new -- a ride in an outrigger canoe which 'surfed' the waves. We were teamed up with 3 Japanese men and it was hilarious.

We're at a Starbucks now, using their wireless. The ship's internet is very unreliable, and when it is working, is extremely slow. I'm a little discouraged about keeping this blog updated, but we'll see what happens. Until next time . . .

Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun! Too bad you are missing out on the free drink refills today at the Marriott Ocean Club!
