Today was such a relaxing day and I did so little I almost forgot to type this post. I can’t get to my computer so it’ll be short and sweet as I peck on my phone. Note to self - seriously consider the ramifications of scooter charging before booking a standard inside cabin. I am either blocking the bed, lamp, phone, refrigerator, or desk. It is a huge pain in the behind to move the scooter each time I need to get anything anywhere.
When I went to breakfast this morning I had my swimsuit on under my clothes so I could go straight to the adult pool and get started swimming. Unfortunately for me the pool was still drained.
As nice of a day as it was I decided to go ahead and get a lounge chair anyway. But the sun was so hot (Hawaii, duh) I only lasted a couple hours without the cooling off a pool would provide. I did rinse in the outdoor shower but it still wasn’t enough so back to my cabin I went to chill out. Literally. Then I finished watching Top Gun from last night and launched into Top Gun Maverick.
Of course heat makes you tired, and when you add in the go-go-go I’ve been doing the last few days I was really tired so I took my first proper nap of the entire trip. It felt so good! I even skipped lunch for it. An apple and peanut butter was a good substitute for the pub lunch they were having in the dining room.
I did make it to pre dinner drinks again.

| Another lemon drop martini (or two!) |
Tonight’s table side dinner preparation was another tasty pasta but it was a little too spicy for me.

| Key lime pie for dessert |
We set the clocks back one more hour again tonight in preparation for our first port tomorrow. I have an A, B, C, and potential D plan for the day, all based on which transportation option will allow me to take the scooter.
See you in Hilo tomorrow!
