A few observations on the cruise so far:
These folks are "travelers" not "tourists". Everyone we've met has had fascinating tales of their past travels. When we tell them our story of selling pretty much everything we own and being intentionally homeless they love it and can relate.....we have a boatload of Traveling Idiots! There are folks like us out there!
Another observation; while we may not be the youngest passengers on the ship Beth put it in simple terms. If we have to abandon ship (hope we don't) and they load the lifeboats youngest to oldest we'll be in the first boat. If they load the lifeboats oldest to youngest we're pretty much goners!
Third observation from the cruise so far; we haven't gone very far! Got on Wednesday afternoon in Honolulu and didn't leave there until close to mid-night Thursday. Maui is a short distance from Honolulu and while slightly longer Maui to Hilo on the big island isn't far either. Of course all that will change once we leave Hilo.
My last observation is from the beaches of Anna Maria Island back in Florida as well as the Hawaiian beaches. You can make a bunch of bikini's out of almost no material these days! Not complaining, just an observation!
I hope everyone is safe from the hurricane and is conducting themselves better than the two folks running for leader of the free world!
I'll post again as soon as possible.
