Day 6 - At Hilo

It's a bit overcast today here at Hilo, our first port visit. It's mildly muggy and the temperature is mid 70s, although that can change multiple times during the day.

The accompanying photo shows our Lido Deck, forward balcony - just behind the ship's bridge. From where we watch, it seems that rarely is anyone there on the bridge. When ever we do see anyone in there, we poke fun with hand gestures suggesting, 'No. Not that way. Turn the other way.' Fortunately they never seem to notice us, though.

Since Princess has accepted liability over our damaged luggage, Dan went shopping for its replacement. After searching several stores, he settled upon a piece just slightly larger than the one we came onboard with. He left the ship early -- just after we docked, and arrived back just before 11:00 - in plenty of time for lunch.

Tomorrow is Honolulu. We normally have docked beside the Aloha Tower, and I have hopes of taking my own first leave of the ship to visit some of the shops in that immediate area.
