at Sea
We are heading almost directly west to Hawaii. We were able to make a tee time in Kona. It is going to be cooler and should be nice for golf. Two stops on the big island of Hawaii, Kona and Hilo and then over to Oahu with a stop in Honolulu. It’s amazing how things have changed with starlink. Booking or calling from the ship at a reasonable rate was just not possible before.
The resort in Manzanillo was featured on “Lifestyle’s of the Rich and Famous” back in the day. It’s amazing how things change over the years. I can still hear Robin Leach.
The Pacific Ocean is very calm compared to the Atlantic and I can tell we are not going top speed. The sun is still rising in the rear of the ship and it is a nice view from our balcony.
There are lots of talks on the main stage about the ports in Hawaii. We have already been to Hawaii numerous times and this is the reason for golf. Hawaii is nice but it is so far from home. It is much easier to head directly south from Michigan and spend some time in the Caribbean if you are seeking reprieve from the cold winter weather. Not enough upsides in Hawaii to spend the travel time necessary.
We haven’t decided what we are going to do in Africa yet. We are waiting for the HAL excursions to be updated. Maybe another safari.
Dinner is always a great experience. The chilled soup that is served tastes like dessert. Blueberry or banana or blackberry. I like to start and finish my meal with dessert.
Comedian Jose Sarduy performed on the mainstage. His shared his many life experiences being a Cuban American growing up in Miami. He was nearly 40 but looked like he was 12. This added even more humor to his act.…
