Week 2

Well, week two of Eliza's visit was just as fun and crazy as week one. In Oahu we got off the ship in Honolulu, rented a convertible and drove to the North Shore of the island, famous for surfing.
We had a great day cruising the beaches, hitting little yard sales and, of course, eating yummy food.
We stopped at picked these plumeria on the way. They smelled like Heaven.


Honolulu at dusk.

Back in Honolulu, we went shopping, then picked up Jack for dinner. We went to the Cheesecake Factory only to find out there was a two hour wait and we didn't have time. Jack somehow talked them into giving us the best table in the house with no wait! What a man I have!

Our waitress used the "hang loose" sign a bit excessively. It was funny.

Next day we wandered around Lahaina, on the island of Maui.



In late afternoon we went to a luau on a beautiful plantation. We took a tour of the grounds, then had dinner and the show.



The dancing was fantastic. Very impressive. They dragged Jack up on stage to dance twice and the audience loved him. Also very impressive. I say again, what a man I have... :)
Last port day, Kona. We went Snuba diving, which is the same as scooba, except your air tank sits on the surface of the water. Pretty amazing experience.


Two cute black fish with an angel fish in the middle.





Our last formal night together!
This was the Grand Buffet at midnight (after dinner!)


Last night of the cruise...
These are Jack's officers, who Eliza got to be pretty good friends with.











I was pretty sad to say bye to Eliza, but it was easier knowing I'll see her again soon, along with everyone else! It was also so nice for her and Jack to get to know each other, and for us to have such a fantastic vacation together......
so far my ETA home is June 17th... see you all soon!
