Hawaii

We're in our last day in Hawaii. Haven't done a lot.
We went to Pearl Harbor yesterday and toured the
Battleship Missouri (mighty MO) where the WW II
surrender papers were signed.

Form now on, all new places.

On Board


October 6, 2015

 

I am often asked what I do all day at
sea. The problem is finding free time.
We’ve had a lot of good presentations
from guest speakers and from shore
excursion manager, destination guide,
and captain.

There was worship service Sunday.

The dancers and singers were present at
Good Morning Amsterdam. (Held most
days at sea).

We’ve had a wine tasting.

Well, plenty to do.

We had a great day touring the Midway Museum.
Just wish we had more time.

September 29, 2015 

We had a presentation from another guest
Lecturer, a maritime historian  and
biologist  from England. His last name
is Foster, a distant cousin?

Love the accent.
 
I’m experimenting with fonts in Word
Wish the one I had chosen on line
worked.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

On Board


September 28, 2015           

We returned to Seattle yesterday and disembarked
most of our passengers. When we returned from a
long walk (taxi back), we found out most of the
passengers had embarked quickly. Later we learned
that on a 1300 passenger ship, we had less than 400
passengers. It’s like a ghost ship. If you’ve ever
stayed aboard when a ship is in port,
 it’s like that only the ship is moving.

 Today we had an introductory presentation from
our guest lecturer. He is a professor emeritus
anthropologist from a university in California.
His wife will also be giving presentations.

Our “on location guide” will also be giving
presentations on all the places we visit.
