Refueling in Honolulu

Welcome to Honolulu, Hawaii!
After a quick visit to Hilo on Saturday, we spent yesterday refueling in Honolulu. Unfortunately, we were not allowed off the ship as the stop was just for the ship to refuel and restock in preparation for our upcoming Pacific crossing. Today made me realize that if you look up the word “torture” in the dictionary, you’ll find one of the meanings is “making someone sit on a ship with paradise sprawling out in front of them.” Although we were not able to disembark, I was able to take some photos of Honolulu from deck 7 while enjoying the warm sunshine.

Now we are on to Japan with 10 days until we see dry land again. This Pacific crossing will be a true test of my patience and also my ability to not get seasick. The Pacific is supposed to be some of the roughest waters we’ll endure during the voyage. Full steam ahead-wish me luck!
