The huge storm that hit the West Coast definitely impacted life onboard. After having to tape our drawers shut to prevent them from opening and slamming in the middle of the night as a result of the insane rocking, it’s nice to finally have calm waters. I can finally walk straight and not have to hold on to the wall in fear of falling over in the shower.
Though it took some getting used to, ship life is amazing. The fact that we can go to the top deck in between classes and tan while drinking fruit smoothies is pretty sick. Classes are going well and are interesting. It was my roommate Brooke’s 21st Birthday yesterday and we ordered this ice cream cake that the kitchen staff made. Even though we were only allotted our three beers a night, lots of kids kept buying her drinks so it turned out to be a pretty good 21st. More celebrating to come in Hawaii…
We dock in Hawaii tomorrow morning at 5 AM! We will be in Hilo for two days followed by Honolulu for two days. I’m trying to get on a trip that is going to a standard Hawaiian luau. Even though I’ve been to Hawaii before I’ve never been on to a luau. I am going to a Hawaiian mental hospital on Thursday in Honolulu for my Global Mental Health class. I don’t really have any expectations for that but it should be interesting. I’m also planning on revisiting Pearl Harbor, snorkeling, maybe seeing some volcanoes, and hopefully surfing. Apart from that I have a couple bucket list plans that will hopefully be put into effect… more to details to follow on that post Wednesday, no need to worry my parents prematurely.
Missing Michigan winter and going to Hawaii tomorrow followed by the rest of the world… don’t mind if I do. Oh and I get to see THAT each night… click on that picture, Benjamin Aaron, hopefully you’ll enjoy it more than the last…
