We boarded our cruise ship yesterday afternoon and left Honolulu at about 7:00pm. It's now morning the sun has come up and we're about to dock in Maui where we'll there until tomorrow evening when we leave for the Big Island. We have excursions booked, one each day. Today we visit a Pineapple plantation. Tomorrow it's a general tour of the island.

This past Thursday we did an island tour of Oahu and while the weather was still shaky we didn't get too wet and were able to see a lot of the island. Friday we visited Pearl Harbor and that evening we were guests of my friend and his wife for dinner at the Waikiki Yacht Club as well as it being a great place to watch the regular Friday night fireworks display over Waikiki Beach.

I'll keep you all posted as we go on. I'm connected to the internet using my iPhone as a hotspot because cruise line charges $25/day/person for internet onboard the ship, but when we're close to an island we get pretty good cell-phone service.

We arrived ahead if Olivia but the flight took longer than originally planned as they had to fly further South to avoid the storm, but we land in time to see the sun setting over Waikiki Beach but we we're still in the airport shuttle so didn't get a good picture. By the time we got to our hotel room, which overlooks the beach, it had gone down. We got a bit of rain last night but the worst is going to hit later today and tonight. Our Pearl Harbor tour, which was supposed to be today, was postponed until Friday.

This morning it's partly cloudy and we got some good pictures of a rainbow over Waikiki Beach. The surfers are all out taking advantage of the waves but the really big waves are on the northern side of the island.
