That water looks beautiful. Have to agree with you that Hawaii just does something for the soul. I think we are both more relaxed when we are over there. Sitting up here in Portland Oregon on a cool rainy day does make us just a tad jealous!!! Just enjoying the view has such a calming effect. Looks like such a wonderful large veranda. We are on the reverse of your cruise starting in Honolulu in Oct. Hope the rest of your crossing is smooth.
