Think of a can of sardines with wings. We were only on it for an hour and we made it to LR safely so no big deal.

@Ocean Boy You would love this plane. Embraer RJ145! Small We are now taking off. We sat for awhile because they had to first burn off some fuel.

It was perfect weather. As soon as we turned off ship wifi we couldn't get cellular. Our plane was delayed 25 minutes, Delta. We are about to fly out of Houston. It was really a very long walk/run from Gate E to B. Just made it! The trip was a perfect time though it seems like yesterday with left our house April 27th. Fun time. I loved all the people we got to meet on the cruise.

We made it to Vancouver.

Waianapanapa State Park This stop had a beautiful view. The pics can not do it justice. It was beautiful watching the waves splash against the rocks. Attempt at a Panoramic.

Last night's dinner was formal. Sharon's main I got lobster. It was good but the smallest I have ever received. We filled up on dessert, Sharon had 3, I had 2.

Taking a break. One of my favorite stops coming up next... next in after the pizza.

We made it to Hana. This is when I realized the excursion wasn't about reaching Hana but the road to it. We stopped at Hana about 2pm and had a late lunch at a picnic area. To me I was more impressed with the other stops so far.

A few waterfalls. A build up to one of my favorites.

Great example of the squeeze. I thought it was funny when the road sign would say to give the right away to the approaching car when the road was sometimes even more narrow and a U shaped curve. You could not see if there was an approaching car. Good thing in this pic is that they are locals that know how to handle it.

I know these are not highlight Hawaii pics but I wanted to share how calm it is right now. Very smooth water, we are barely moving and the sun feels so good. Very relaxing. 9 night cruises are good for me. Although I loved the cruise I am ready to get home to the kids and grandkids..... and my own bed!

Video of the same location. The 1st about 1 second. Kk2 20230503_113727.mp4 Kk 20230503_113646.mp4

Next stop. I love the black rocks.

Thanks, Samsung owners can handle it. 😆 There were very strong wind gust at times. As I was stepping out at the last stop I felt like I was lifted up and dropped a foot over.

There is more pics and vids coming. I need time and internet at the same time 😆 The roads get crazy the further you go. We considered renting a car but heard and believe the driver would not get to enjoy the sights as much...... and stay on the road. I will post a fee more stops later. If unable today maybe at layovers or after I am home.

It was today for us.

We are finishing dinner. Not sure what we are doing if anything. Quest will be to late for most.

After leaving the last island we had one more warm day. It's been cold since then. Today not as bad. Not bad in the Solarium and the section next to the Solarium. The open area is cold. I think the wind makes it feel colder.

We will check when we get back to the room.

No, internet has been best in the room. We were getting ready for the evening

We have had rough sailing. A couple of times my rollator was up on two wheels. It's getting smooth now.

One pic said we were in Haiku. Other pics had no location. Cell service was bad on this trip. And another attempt to load a video. If it works notice how the wind was blowing. X 20230503_110815.mp4

It was but we didn't see an invite until we got back to the room!. 😂

BTW, it was cold yesterday.
