Day 18, At sea

-

  


Well at least on the map, we can't see LA and we see Hawaii so we must be past halfway.  Still all day today and tomorrow at sea.  But by all of Toni's highlights, it will be a busy day.









Pretty skies and blue seas this morning.  The weather said it was going to be only 68 today and with almost 20 mph winds and us going about 24 mph, thought it was going to be chilly.




A rainbow to start the day.

Went to the buffet for breakfast this morning but sat outside by the pool to eat.




It was then craft day. It was a lot of flowers.  Heard a lot about Flower Power but since I kind of missed the 60s by a half century or so, I didn't really understand it.  The craft ended up being different approach to making a Lei.













Always cleaning!  There are a  lot of different views of the ocean...



Toni snuck into the Theater where Rob was listening to the talk on Kauai.



Toni wanted to make another Lei today

It is the Chineese New Year


Rob was comfy sitting on the top deck watching football toay



Today was the New Years day on the Chinese calendrer. It is the Year of the Rabbit!





It was gametime on the big screen and there were still a lot of activities on the top decks.








It was formal night and we were all dressed up








It was the Captain's Welcome Dinner for all of the new passengers.






Also a Champaign  waterfall tonight.




Flor made Toni a Milky Way Martini and Rob a Yucatan and then a Blue Margaretta 




Another Sea Day tomorrow on the way to Hawaii

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

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.
