Welcome to Hawaii!

We made it to Hawaii!  The flights were endless and we didn't arrive until 10:00 p.m. Hawaii time (2:00 a.m.) your time!  We finally hit the hay at midnight, but were awakened by the local police at about 6:30 a.m. with a warning about a Tsunami.  Needless to say, most of our morning was spent looking for water and food and watching this event unfold.  There wasn't a tsunami (not as we could see) although they did say they could tell the difference in the water level.  So, here we are finally aboard the ship--Pride of America--after waiting approximately 3 hours to board while they disembarked the passengers stuck on the ship during the tsunami.  We got a hot meal, water and now are heading out to explore the ship.  Hermie is having a great time also!

What an adventure we're having!  :0)

Meet Hermie!

Meet Hermie, our new travel companion.  While he is a snowman and is accustomed to the cold and snow, he agreed to travel with us to Hawaii and on our cruise.

Watch the blog for updates on Hermie's whereabouts and activities, as well as pictures of him in his "hip" Hawaiian outfits.  :0)
