Oahu (Honolulu), Hawaii

Viking provided a shuttle which was to drop us off at Ross. Yesterday we drove by a Ross store which was right around the corner from Costco. Since the Pritchetts and ourselves both wanted to go to Costco, we thought, perfect, we will hop in the shuttle and be dropped off at Ross. Then we could just walk to Costco. Well our plan totally backfired when they took us to a Ross store on the opposite side of town from Costco.
So we did a bit of shopping at Costco and asked the Viking representative what the best option was to get to Costco. We were told that we should get back on the bus and take it back to the ship. She told us that from there we can take a taxi to Costco. So, back on the bus we went. We got back to the ship and immediately were able to catch a cab albeit a very dirty and rickety cab. When we arrived at Costco, we asked if he could come get us in an hour. He said that was not possible.
We entered Costco and I immediately found an employee to ask about where I could find the all important item that I desperately need....a hair growth helmet. With styling my hair 7 days a week....I am rapidly balding! I didn't have room in my luggage for my helmet and, silly me, I didn't think that I needed it. I was so very wrong! Unfortunately, the Costco employee told me that they did not have it in the warehouse even though the website said they did. So now, I was totally dejected! I found Bob and we did a little clothes shopping.
Luckily for us, when we exited Costco, the head Chef, Willy, and the Hotel Manager, Ronald, were just existing a cab. Upon securing the cab, we had a much more comfortable ride back to the ship because this cab was spotless and there was much less traffic.
I sat in our balcony and had a delightful call with my cousin, Natalie, while we sailed from Honolulu. I am very fortunate to have wonderful women in my life.Read more
