Sailin'

So safely down in Honolulu on the island of Oahu we proceeded through morre security to finally get on board the "Pride of America". A beautiful ship.

Everything I mean everything immaculate and beautifully designed and in the cabin very nice and user friendly with courteous staff. Everything is first class and you feel like Kings and Queens.

The first night was fun-even with the jet lag. I had my first drink on board a tall Daxquiri (strawberry) that kicked in and had me joining in the Karaoke singing. This had a twist to it-all the cruise directors stall were picked one by one to sing songs picked by the audience and it was like a Gong Show where you could gong them if you didn't like their rendition. I gonged one young man and was challenged by the MC who handed me a microphone and asked why did I do that?. I told him I was from Idaho and sang in a church choir and couldn't tell if he was a tenor or a soprano. the songs I picked them to sing were "I'm so excited" the Pointer Sisters and " Love, Love me do" by the Beatles of course.
A fun evening. I do remember chasing around the night club floor after this male singer with a baseball bat trying to bat him before I gonged him ( I forget why-that Dacquiri was tall and potent)

So ended the evening at sea.

! Aloha and Mahalo !
