Signs such as this (above) are found daily in differing locations on cruise ships. This one provides the most fun for watching new cruisers' reactions.

Reports of tremendous storms ahead have reached us. The flooding rains on Oahu, probably a common occurrence, should be passed by Tuesday, the day we reach Honolulu. An email from friends living there seem encouraging, and that's good news since we didn't pack umbrellas.

One of the more remote rooms hosted a 50s and 60s Music dance event at 10:15 pm. We attended, briefly, but moodiness quickly took hold.

Yet, thoughts of opportunities lost and memories hazed through time became more than difficult to entertain on this night. We turned in.
