At Sea, the morning of Jan 6th

-

 First morning and we had a rainbow behind us.
 
  

Our location was just off the coast of Cuba and we will then head south between Cuba and Haiti.

We were close enough to see the coast of Cuba.


Had breakfast in our room


Tracking on our map


Steps, lots of steps! We are trying to not use the elevators. With all this great food, we will need to do as much walking as we can.


And at the Meet and Greet, we got to meet the Captain
    

Then we rested a little. Toni is probably they only person onboard that packed a lounge Chair (blow up).

Day 31 American Samoa

American Samoa  Pago Pago Bay is one of the most dramatic harbors in the South Pacific, a region known for dramatic landscapes. Eons ago, the massive seaward wall of a volcano collapsed and the sea poured in. Today, dramatic mountain peaks encircle the deep harbor. The capital of American Samoa, Pago Pago is more village than city. The town is dominated by looming Mt. Pioa, whose summit draws moisture-bearing clouds, earning it the nickname of "The Rainmaker." Indeed, Pago Pago draws more than its fair share of rain - the island of Tutuila is a vision of deep, verdant green. Pronounced "Pango Pango," this island paradise awaits exploration. American Samoa is a US Territory and its citizens are US Nationals, not US Citizens. Home to the only US National Park in the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator).

Note on ability to Comment

 Hi all, I just went through the blogger settings and changed it to anyone can comment.  It had defaulted to only those who had and were signed into their google account. I know have made it that anyone can comment.  Please add you name if you do comment so we know who is commenting.  We hope you are enjoying this as much as we are.   Also, if you have younger children, they might like https://braydenflatstan.blogspot.com/  Toni's cousin's grandson (the genealogy person in me will say 1st cousin, twice removed) gave us a flat Stanley (with a backup incase we dropped him into the ocean!!) on the day we left. We had no idea what it was but are having fun with it and do a blog with pictures of him and hopefully writing things a little more educational for the young ones!  I have both linked to each other.
