    Hi shipmates

    Well, here we are in Hawaii, like no other place on earth.

    Home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes and the world’s tallest sea mountain. Birthplace of surfing and the hula. Former seat of a royal kingdom. Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world and the youngest state of the union. But perhaps Hawaii’s most unique feature is its Aloha Spirit: the warmth of the people of Hawaii that wonderfully complements the Islands’ perfect temperatures.

    That sounds just the ticket for a wonderful stay. The Aloha spirit will transport us to Paradise today, so enjoy yourselves.

    Hi Val

    There are several islands, but we will start here, and then our private helicopter will transport us to the other islands.

    HAWAII'S BIG ISLAND

    Bigger than all of the other islands combined, the island of Hawaii, or Hawaii's Big Island, is vast enough to hold 11 of the world’s 13 climactic zones—from sandy beaches to snowcapped mountains.

    * See waterfalls, rainforests, and botanical gardens in Hilo.
    * Snorkel, scuba, or fish off the Kona Coast.
    * View Kilauea, the world's most active volcano in Hawaii Volcano's National Park.

    We've all been invited to a wedding feast on Oahu, complete with Elvis' wedding song. Here's the lyrics if you want to join in.

    This is the moment
    I've waited for
    I can hear my heart singing
    Soon bells will be ringing

    This is the moment
    Of sweet Aloha
    I will love you longer than forever
    Promise me that you will leave me never

    Here and now dear,
    All my love,
    I vow dear
    Promise me that you will leave me never
    I will love you longer than forever

    U-a, si-la
    Pa-a ia me o-e
    Ko a-lo-ha ma-ka-mea e i-po
    Ka-'u ia e le-i a-e ne-i la

    Now that we are one
    Clouds won't hide the sun
    Blue skies of Hawaii smile
    On this, our wedding day
    I do love you with all my heart


    OOHH!!! That is lovely, isn't it? So romantic!!

    Val, Annie

    Come here a moment. What if this islands decides to pop it's cork :shock:

    We will get covered in ash, wearing this Lei and a grass skirt.

    We will have to have an escape plan. We will meet here after you have had your evening meal. If you feel any wobbling then bring your dinner with you.

    Sorry Val, will have to use the umbrella.

    Val

    Remember when we were on the first cruise? In Egypt, the Pyamids well how did we get out?????

    What did I put up, the umbrella and when we landed the brolly let us down slowly and we were saved.

    I have a cork put on the sharp end where you had your accident, so no need to worry.

    Val, if I put one of those on my head, I'll take off! Hang on, has it got propellers?

    If it has, could I tie a rope to Trish's chair and she could steer me?

    Hi Julie

    The umbrella is a reference to our first cruise ( this is the third we've had ) Trisher saved the day with her umbrella used as a parachute to float down from the pyramid in Egypt.

    As for the donkeys and corks, ours is not to question why :!: :!: Just go with the flow or swim with the dolphins, as they say :!: :D

    On our first cruise we went on, we went to Egypt. Someone got on a camel and told it to giddy up, so off goes the camel and they could not stop it. My wheelchair has a lot of gadgets on it.

    I told Val to jump on my wheelchair, well, errmm she did jump on, then I turned to look at her and thought she was going to give birth, so I gave her some oxygen, and told her to keep breathing in and out.

    What could I do, someone was screaming out help cos they could not stop the camel and then there was Val about to give birth.

    It turned out when Val jumped on, she had jumped on my brolly, the end with the stick on it. She was not having a baby. so I gave Val a tissue to wipe her eyes, as we raced off after the camel. :shock:

    Poor Val, she has never forgotton that day. Neither could the rest of us. :shock:


    Then we went into a Pyamid, well for some reason because I'm always around when ther is trouble, I might have pressed a button, and it started to close.

    Then Val took the story up after Annie's and Joan's story about Pryamids, well all these cats surrounded us and were not going to let us get out. Tthen they all held on to my chair as it rose in the air and out the top of the pyramid there was a hole and we got out.


    The umbrella was used again to lower us to the ground.

    In the end, we all wrote a bit of the story and we could not carry on as we were all laughting so much.

    Poor Val, has never forgot my umbrella since that day.

    We were b eing cased by some funny looking men as well.
