It will be
no surprise to anyone that neither the Commodore or I were the least bit
interested in eating anything till after noon today! We didn’t get moving till around nine this
morning and headed for coffee in the International Café. Pretty soon Betty and Don appeared for their
coffee as well. Don, being a very good
boy, had already been to the gym and tells us that there are people waiting
outside the gym door before 6am every day to enter when it opens!!! Good grief!
His great
challenge is to beat the competition to the two recumbent bikes! So far, his luck hasn’t been so great! The rest of us are exercising by proxy! Thanks, Don!!
After
coffee we headed to the Princess Theater to listen to a very entertaining
Professor from the University of Hawaii tell us great stuff about Maui! This guy has great stories and knows lots
about the local fauna. He tells about
the most prevalent bird on the Island of Kauai being the chicken! Says that once you catch and kill them you
put them in a pot that has some water and lava rocks on the bottom. You then boil the chicken for 4-5 hours and
then drain out the chicken and the water and eat the rocks!!! Very amusing.
Since the
lecture was at the same time as trivia, I skipped the trivia.
This
afternoon they had a showing of “Argo” in the theater so we went early to make
sure we had some good seats and it was a good thing because the whole place
filled up fast and there were no empty seats at all. Great movie and even though I knew the ending
it had me on the edge of my seat!
Tomorrow
we dock in Honolulu! We have loved the
sea days and now look forward to being on the Islands for the next four
days. We have a car reserved and will
take a drive around the island in search of a ‘shrimp truck’. This is apparently the Hawaiian version of
our ‘roach coaches’ but the cuisine is legendary! I’ll let you know.
We also
have plans to check out the new Disney Hotel to see what that is like. Betty and Don have a timeshare on Oahu so
know their way around very well. They
will be our ‘guides extraordinaire’!
Not much
else to report for now so I’ll call it a day!
Up early tomorrow to watch the sun rise on Hawaii……beautiful!
XOXOXOXO

Enjoy Honoruru. Hilarious you are searching for food while there. It must be really good!
ReplyDeleteHa, I didn't even think about them going in search of great food...while on a cruise ship! Well, actually, I believe you did the same this summer off the ship in Sicily.
ReplyDeleteBrian's been trying to get Argo for me to see. He and Connor saw it in the theater. Now I can't wait for it to be available to rent!
I will be interested to know if the gym line decreases throughout the cruise.
Testing, testing. Trying again to comment using the laptop instead of the iPad.
