Events of the day

We went to drop laundry at the parentals but they weren't in their cabin, like they said they would be. Tsk tsk.

We went to the lecture on plants at 1030 by Shannon, the Naturalist. She is such a great speaker. Many of Hawaii's plants are not endemic, they were brought in and introduced by other means.

We stayed in the theater for the Welcome Aboard Show of which the cruise director gave information on the excursions for the ports. They gave away some gifts. We didn't win. We were one number off or two or three.
