Saling towards Honolulu Monday April 4 2016

Partly Cloudy temp 21c /70 f 

Tonight is our first GALA NIGHT / formal night, so what have we done so far today? We woke again at 6:30 am, and decided to go and use the thermal spa, we bought that for the whole cruise yesterday, but didn't use it then. It was great, we also bought the Internet package, so I can blog. 

The thermal spa is really nice and if we get to use it at the India of the day it would probably put us to sleep. You start with a BIG hot tub, then move to the steam bath or sana then shower, and lay on a heated lounge. It's a tough life!

We came back to the room to dress and do some housekeeping. I'm still trying to find logical places for staching stuf in this small room, it is really small, but the bed is a full King!  Which is probably, why it seems so small, na, it's small, and little closet space too. 

We then went upstairs, for a bit of lunch, as we did not have more then coffee, and a banana. I set I the sun by the aft pool, and Ed walked to get us a cheese burger, frys and hotdog. Now we are back I the room, Ed is taking a nap, and I'm working on catching up on the blog. 

We could have lured to dance the hula, or listened to a talk about Kona, both befor lunch, now it's 2 PM and we should e listening to the lecture on "courageous voyaging" how did these isolated islands come to be populated, by a homogeneous people? Then at three, we have the Migrations of Hawaiians.  
We may make the Blue Hawaii, sunset hour at 4:30in the crows nest, before we go to dinner, as it is also happy hour, buy one drink and get the second for $1.

Yesterday, we dined in the Pinnnacle Grill, Westedams specialty stake house restaurant, we weren't that impressed, but we'll try again. The company was great as Bill, Irene, Jim, andVal were all there. But the place was far from full and the she is was not good. 

So I will sign off and catch you tommrow.
