Day 23: Honolulu, Hawai’i … The Gathering Place

Saturday, 28 January 2017
At Sea — Pacific Ocean … En Route to Kauai

Stats @ Ship’s Time 9:00p (HAST) … UTC 7:00a (29 January)
Temp: Not Available
Position: Not Available

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.
~ Danny Kaye ~

Today we completed the first segment of the RTW voyage and began another — this one named “Island Edens.”   It’s an appropriate name since we will be visiting quite a few of the South Pacific islands on our way to New Zealand, where this new segment will end.  All but the 190 RTW passengers disembarked this morning … and quite a few of the crew as well.  When we returned to the ship this afternoon, there were a lot of new faces to greet and welcome aboard.  I later checked with Chantelle, the Loyalty Ambassador, and she said 332 disembarked; 334 embarked … so we have about the same number of people as before.

Day 23: Blast from the Past … Honolulu

Saturday, 28 January 2017 (Part I)
At Sea — Pacific Ocean

We had a great day in Honolulu.  But before I write the story of our day, I want to share some reminiscences I wrote in my journal on a quiet sea day getting to Hawaii.

We’ve been to Honolulu before — twice as a matter of fact.  Both times for a weekend visit.  Just for a weekend?  Yup —  just for a weekend.
