01.10.2023 A Sea Lion Adventure
10 Ocak, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F
True story. While we were in Santa Barbara, this sea lion actually came on board the Viking Neptune. They lured him back off with chunks of raw salmon.
He kept trying to get back on so they put up this board to block his entrance. He was very determined. When we arrived back on our tender he was still there.

11 Ocak, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
Seas were a little rough last night and this morning so the Captain is taking us a little more southwest to find some calmer seas.
Diana’s watercolor class was fun. She will attend every sea day until Auckland and then Deb, our instructor will disembark.
Myron attend a lecture this morning hosted by Resident Historian, Marie Conte-Helm called “ Pacific Exploration” and he and Diana are both attending one at 2:30 called Around the World in 80 days by Russell Lee one of the Guest Lecturers.
We then have another lecture at 4:30 given by Stephen Marsh to learn about the whales and porpoises who live in these waters.
Dinner tonight in The Restaurant with Beth and Teri. Fun ladies. The salmon was excellent. Went to see a show with Travis Cloer performing music of the 50s, 60s and 70s. He starred as Frankie Valli in the Jersey Boys on Broadway. We are busy!!Okumaya devam et

01.12.2024 Cabin 4104 Settling In
12 Ocak, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
We are staring to get into a routine and have settled in nicely into our cabin. Diana packed lots of organizing cubes and such to help keep our small space tidy. As everyone knows she hates clutter. It seems to be working out pretty well and we seem to have enough space to co-exist peacefully.
Our veranda is a wonderful place to sit and relax when the weather is nice. It is mid 60s but with the protected sides of of our balcony is quite pleasant to sit out.
Our Viking swag has arrived as well. We were each given a hat, zippered waterproof bag, leather card holder and a waterproof fleece lined rain jacket.Okumaya devam et

What a difference calm seas make. A good nights sleep for both of us.
Myron is on the Behinds the Scene Tour.
He visited the galley, laundry and engine room. Diana on the other hand is having a facial.
Diana attends her second painting class this afternoon. She’ll share her finished painting tomorrow.
Myron spent the rest of his afternoon lounging by the pool and talking to old and new friends.
We have our cruise critic meet and greet which Diana organized with 94 fellow travelers attending. The picture is with Aveen (not how you spell her name).
We met new folks at dinner and there is a couple on here from Rapid City. Rob and Vicki. We are going have dinner with them some night soon. We went to the Magic show following dinner and ran into Travis Cloer the singer from the night before.
We turn our clocks back again tonight so we are 4 hours ahead of central time.Okumaya devam et

13 Ocak, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌬 70 °F
We continue to make our way westward towards Hawaii. The temperatures are getting more moderate. Upper 60s during the day and mid 60s at night.
Seas are a little rougher again today.
Myron is attending a few lectures and Diana is relaxing on the pool deck. (It has a retractable roof which is closed right now)
My painting is still not complete so no picture today.
Lunch was a hosted pasta bar on the pool deck. It was good. Myron went to the 9:00 pm show while Diana had a quiet evening in our cabin.
0h and Go Chiefs! Big win today.
A pretty relaxing sea day.Okumaya devam et

Temperatures have really warmed up overnight. It’s 74 now with a low of 71 tonight.
Rainbows we plentiful this morning while we were at breakfast.
Diana was so excited for today. She attended a cooking class in the morning. Viking offers cooking classes of various cuisines. You make an appetizer, an entree and a dessert.
It is held in The Kitchen Table. Today we had avocado shrimp appetizer, entree was seared red snapper with sweet potato mash along with snow peas and spinach.
For dessert it was banana with carmel and puff pastry.
As you all know Diana loves to cook.
Myron also had a busy morning as he attended two lectures: Pacific War, Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal. And his second one was NASA, Working with the Right Stuff.
He will be singing with the Viking Choir and practice begins today.
Diana finished her painting today. “Under the Sea.” She has chosen to stop going to art class as it has grown from 35 to 60 people and is way more chaotic. Stay tuned for another crafting event she’ll be attending in the future.
Dinner tonight with Terry, Beth, Jonathan and Brian at The Restaurant.
This was followed by a return engagement of singer Travis Cloer.Okumaya devam et

15 Ocak, North Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 72 °F
Today is our final sea day as we will reach Honolulu tomorrow. A beautiful day with a high of 75.
After breakfast we both attended “Aloha, the story of Hawaii as told by a shirt..” Guest lecturer Russell Lee is an amazing story teller.
We both decided to take the rest of the day off and have a pool day. We are at the infinity pool that overlooks the ship’s wake. Not a chair hog in sight.
Myron changed his mind and went to Choir practice and to the 4:30 lecture. Diana got caught up on her photo book, showered and headed to the Explorer Lounge. It is a two deck area at the very front of the ship with floor to ceiling windows. A great place to watch the world go by. I’ve included a few pictures.

I know it looks like no one is on the ship but really Viking has so many niches for people to gather and spend time. And the reason they have all these wonderful places is because they don’t have to use space for photo galleries or casinos or separate libraries. See the books in the bookcases? Viking has lots of such cases throughout the ship for folks to borrow the books to read while on board. Every thing from historical novels to mysteries and romance. Some fiction and others non fiction.
There is also plenty of art throughout the ship as well. It is not for sale but there are QR codes and you can download the audio commentary that accompanies the art pictures. It’s like going to a museum without going. Evelyn, you would love it.
Enjoyed sunset and dinner with Harley and Priscilla and Dave and Sue. Must’ve been fun as we closed down the restaurant.Okumaya devam et

16 Ocak, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
Land Ho! We arrived in Honolulu about midnight. High of 78 today with a chance of rain after 6 tonight. Windy but sunny today.
We do not have a Viking excursion but we have a loose game plan.
We took the shuttle to Waikiki that was provided by Viking. Did a walk through the oldest hotel in Honolulu the Royal Hawaiian.
Our next stop was the Punchbowl National Cemetery.
The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (informally known as Punchbowl Cemetery) is a national cemetery located at Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu, Hawaii. It serves as a memorial to honor those men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces, and those who have been killed in doing so. There are over 28,000 buried on the 116 acres.
From there we had lunch at the MonkeyPod. Mahi-mahi fish tacos. Delicious!
Diana needed to find something to use for a birthday invitation for Myron’s 70th and then we went to the House Without A Key for their famous mai-tais. Ernest Hemingway also spent a lot of time here.
We returned to the ship for dinner and retired early to our cabin.Okumaya devam et

We awoke to sunshine and 75 degrees. A beautiful day awaited us. We had no excursions booked and we sail at 2 so we are having another pool day and doing laundry while the majority are off the ship. High today is 81.
They collect our passports today as well before we reach the South Pacific Islands.
Dinner tonight is at the Chef’s Table with Beth and Terry. Every course is paired with a wine. It is a great menu and great company.
Good bye Honolulu.Okumaya devam et
