    First, Erik and I met Dad and Smom downstairs for the tender to get to the port. I realized we left our printed excursion tickets, but Erik insisted we would be okay. He was right. He usually is. Even though I woke up super early to get zone 1, they offered zones 1-3 to get off the ship at the same time 🙄 it's okay though. We were the first zone 1'ers on the tender. The tender ride was okay. There were a ton of people on it. Packed to its full non-emergent capacity of 80 folks. Erik was a little annoyed at one of the guys on the tender because he acted like he was better than everyone else and he was loud and annoying.

    Once we got off the tender, at roughly 845am, they had some Tahitian dancers and a cute handmade artisanal marketplace area. We walked around a bit and I found my shot glass. One of a kind and super pretty. We paired them with some orange earrings to make $20 so that we could pay with credit card.

    Then we found our guide and asked if we could walk around a bit more. They agreed. I got antsy though and rushed Erik back on the tender. Our main guide got on the boat.
