Tuesday continued
Left for the airport at 630 and took off at 9 smooth easy flight. Easy transport to the hotel, Princess did all the work. We had a great room right downtown Waikiki. Took lots of pictures of the beach etc.
Wednesday morning we took tour of the city saw the Iloini palace from a distance and went to the Arizona memorial. The tour bus took us to the ship, and we had the smoothest embarkation we ever had. Right to the room, luggage soon after. The room is small, and very compact. It took a few days for me to settle in and find storage for everything. However, the up side is the crew and passengers are awesome. So nice to be among peers; that is people over 50? Boy, do I sound old.
We have some nice dinner companions and met some nice people on the shore excursions. Yesterday we saw Kauai, and it rained most of the day. The canyon was fogged in, but the bus ride was interesting and informative.
Today we are anchored off Lahina, Maui. We tendered in this morning and spent about two hours shopping, then tendered back and had lunch. I did laundry and then we sat by the pool. Plenty of open chairs available. See what I mean about age? On the last cruise if you weren’t out there at 800 to stake you claim on a chair you were out of luck. All they seem to do was drink and sit by the pool. Bunch of young whippersnappers!
About the food. Awesome., Am trying to be sensible. Had an apple and cheese for lunch today. Then half a tomato cheese foccia, blended mocha, piece of chocolate cake. Oops! Well, the cake is small…
One of our dinner companions is a retired doctor, and I have been copying what he has for dinner; lots of fish, salad etc. But he has fruit for desert and I can’t make myself do that. And then there’s all the candy we bought at Hilo Hattie’s.
