Good Morning................


...........from my breakfast spot yesterday, a surprise, a very large visitor, the Norwegian Line cruise ship, Pride of America, just outside the window. 




 This shot was taken from the the pool where I took an early dip.  With 2,000 plus passengers and a large number being tendered onto shore for the day, we stayed away from the town center until early evening when the ship sailed away as the sun went down.

You perhaps heard on the news that Pele was grumbling on Kilauea yesterday, and there were many small earthquakes here on the Big Island.  We didn't feel a thing!

Off this morning on a whale watch cruise - hope to get some pics to share next time.  We fly to Maui tomorrow.

  2. Don't blame you for staying away from the crowds:) It looks a very pleasant spot to spend the day anyway.

  5. Staying at your island idyll while the cruise ship was in town seems to me a very good idea. Your view is just stunning!

  6. It all sounds quite out-of-this-world! Have a good time on Maui! If you meet any red heads playing bagpipes, they're my cousins from Hanna!
