Honolulu, Hawaii

Hello from the island of Oahu! It’s a rainy day here in Honolulu.

Diamond Head is out there
After my omelet breakfast I walked the treadmill while hoping the skies would clear. 
18 minute treadmill view today
I also watched the weather from up in Skywalkers and even made my way across the wet deck to double check the abilities of the scooter to navigate slick surfaces. I knew the answer already, but how could I come all this way and miss going out in Honolulu? By early afternoon my decision was made. With weather on the bridge cam looking like this I would have to stay put on the ship. 
Looks like today’s a wash
Things lightened a little bit later in the afternoon and I probably could have chanced it, but by that point I had lost my motivation. I’ve been here many times before so it’s not like I haven’t experienced everything Honolulu and Oahu have to offer. Plus I’m certain I’ll be back again another day. 
The rain stopped tonight so it’s easier to see Diamond Head.
Too late for me to go anywhere now.
Pre dinner drinks included a new one, some kind of vodka, blue curaƧao, and pineapple juice mixture.
And some delicious dumplings from the Elite Lounge
A shrimp dish for dinner with a sugar free coconut cake and orange sorbet for dessert rounded out the evening.  
A little too spicy for me
A great combo
A nice little swan towel animal greeted me upon my arrival back at the cabin. 
Look at the “feathers”
Tomorrow we’re in Kauai. I’m hoping for some good weather there. So you then!
