Kona

Another beautiful day in paradise.  Today we're on the Big Island again (Hawaii), but on the opposite shore at Kona.  The water is so shallow that we were not able to pull up to port, so we had to take tenders (small boats) to the island. 

At Kona we took a submarine down to see the fishes and the coral.  It was awesome.  One group of fish came right up the windows on the sub and swam by.  Saw lots of schools of fish and possibly shipwreck remains.  I believe we got down to 102 feet below the surface.  The water was so blue!

We also did some shopping in Kona and stuck our feet in the water on the beach (including Hermie!).  I didn't expect that the water would be cold.  Brrr! 

Tonight we hope to see another comedian and watch as they pair up passengers and crew to perform in Dancing with the Pride of America Stars.  After that, a karaoke contest.  Speaking of which, whenever they have anything going on like the line dancing or the Not So Newlywed Game, they tape it.  This morning we laughed when we saw on our TV in our room film of us attempting to line dance.  It was a hoot!

Gotta run as we're taking hula dance lessons in a few minutes and then something with bandanas.  If forget what that's about.  Sound like fun?!

Aloha!  Shaka Shaka Ohana!
