Maggie Inspecting the luggage mountain
Stormy trying to determine if she can fit in the carryon
The embarcation tent - no bathrooms or refreshments - luckily it was not a long wait
From the embarcation point looking at the stern of the ship
from the embarcation point - looking at the bow of the ship
This is the view of the embarcation tent from our balcony.
Entrance to the Wheelhouse Lounge
Hallway outside the Wheelhouse Lounge. The green couches were a perfect place to sit and knit.
Another quiet place to sit and knit
The Universe Lounge
I kept trying to get a picture that really shows how beautiful the atrium and stairways were.
Hard to get the scale of this light fixture - it's about 10 foot across.
The elevators in the Atrium - these span 4 floors
The sculpture at the top of the atrium elevators
This art is about 8 - 10 foot across - more cool sculpture.
An even bigger one behind the pursers desk.
Pretty little water feature under the stairs in the Atrium
Above deck - I didn't spend a lot of time outside - the weather was blustery for much of the way.
Leaving San Pedro Harbor
View from the interior of our stateroom to the balcony. Calm seas for the first two days
View forward from the balcony - only 5 rooms between us and the bow of the ship.
View Aft from the balcony - hard to tell how high the seas are from 5 stories up.
Trying to capture the full moon behind the clouds with my new camera.
A much better attempt to capture the full moon
The lava flows - I think I am getting the hang of the camera
This is the full moon over Hilo harbor - it looks like daylight but it's just before dawn
This is a monster spider web - the photo was taken with the zoom.
That's Mauna Kea in the background
You can barely see the observatories on Mauna Kea
Funny little plant growing up at 9000 feet
Forest of funny little plants - about 2' high each
Hawiiian altar - about 9300 feet up the side of Mauna Kea
Close up of the Altar
Storm moving in over Hilo
More storm clouds over Hilo
Mosaic in the Astronomy Center on HIlo - I think it's the creation myth
Interesting exhibit at the Astronomy cneter - showing the effect of global warming
Imiloa Astronomy center
Honolulu Harbor - what a cool ship
Looking into the harbor water - interesting fish
Statue in the Aloha Center - Honolulu harbor
Futuristic boat in the Honolulu harbor
Sea Turtles at Sea Life Park
Reef Tank - more sea turtles
Divers in the Reef Tank feeding sea turtles and bat rays
Cool Octopus
The Octopus liked DeVia
A cat that lives at Sea Life Park - in the Sea Lion Exhibit
On the way up to the Ranch at Kona
Sheep - yep Hawaii Sheep
It's been a long time since either one of us rode.....
The weather was perfect for riding - about 65 degrees. I ending up wishing that I had put my hair up - it blew all over the place and was a tangled mess.
I liked this windvane at the Stables
