Hilo

Woke up Praising God for this wonderful awesome experience. No hangover and felt refreshed and ready for a walk around deck. Everyone aboard is friendly like I said and is willing to make friends (except for the younger dudes who seem a bit aloof) Maybe they are on their honeymoon and are preoccupied with other thoughts.

Great chances for speaking about Jesus and our Mission Church we have started at Trinity. For instance there is a teen center on board and I talked with the girl who was in charge and it seemed to be a mission of hers to suppor t youth and keep t hem entertained and out of trouble. She had worked previously with Girls and Boys Clubs in Ashland Oregon. She agreed with my statement about the need to work with "at risk" kids and have a place where they could go and get help with homework and also have fun.

The rest of the day we stayed on board after the ship docked in Hilo on the Big Island. We explored, I signed up for the Internet Cafe. Bonnie was tired and went to the cabin and enjoyed some zzzz's. We both had lunch at the Buffet restaurant named Aloha Cafe.

I spent the afternoon by the pool rela..x...in' and taking naps now and then to recover from the time change and lounging in the jaccuzi.

Wow! this is the life!

We cruzed all night and got rocked to sleep by the rolling of the boat.
