Day 17, At Sea heading toward Hawaii

-

  Woke up today about 1/3 of the way to Hawaii



Getting spoiled having breakfast on the balcony

Besides turning our clocks back last night (so we are on Alaska time today, 4 hours earlier than east coast), today was mandatory covid testing. We passed


Another paper folding craft today





We went up to the pool deck and saw that they had turned the pool into a splash pool!!  Because yesterday was a little rough, they had taken half the water out of the pool. But even with it being less rough, the water started going back and forth and finally made a big splash.  Since there was a lot of open recliners by the pool, we sat out for awhile.  But the pool towels became blankets today as it was only around 60 and breezy.  Then it started sprinkling, so we moved!

They fixed the Satellite TV antenna in time for the playoff games today.  It went out last week right as the first game was ending and they just got it fixed.  I am sure a lot of people were happy. They didn't have it up on the large screen so had to watch in the room



Dinner was different today as someone sat at our table so as soon as we walked in, the maître d' apologized and took us to a different table.  We are definitely used to Apol and Francesco knowing what we like and taking care of us.  Hopefully we are back at our table tomorrow.

You can get what ever you want from the menu. So Toni got a soup (French Onion) and two appetizers Crab and Artichoke Dip and Shrimp Cocktail. Rob got the dip and Penne pasta.







For dessert, Toni got the carrot cake and Rob the Peach Flambe


After dinner, we went to see a magic show.






And we turn our clocks back again tonight and we will be on Hawaii time (5 hours difference from East Coast). Another full day at sea.

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). Far out view showing many islands in the area American Samoa and Samoa are two different sets of islands. American Samoa is on one side of the International Datelin...
