Sunday 4/24 3:30am
I woke up and got dressed and then I woke up everyone in the house screaming WE'RE GOING TO HAWAII!!!! We went to the airport and got on the plane and flew 4 hours to Denver...and then 8 hours to Honolulu. Before I even stepped on the ship I got leid. lol then we dropped all of our carry-ons to our stateroom. We had supper and went to bed.
Monday 4/25
Got up and had breakfast and got off the ship and met the tour guide to see Waimea Canyon and Fern Grotto they were both absolutely gorgeous. I loved them! Waimea Canyon was so pretty. It is the Grand Canyon of the Hawaiian Islands. When we got to the Fern Grotto we went in a little boat to actually get to the place. It was so pretty! It’s a cave kinda thing that a lot of celebrities have there wedding ceremonies. Some natives sung us the Hawaiian Wedding Song and then we had to kiss the person next to us. It was great fun. After that we got back on the boat and learned how to do the hula. Not a pretty site at all haha. Then we went back on the ship and hung out there swam ate supper and then went to the show. OMG it was sooooo good. It was Polynesian dancers omg I swear to god the guys had 2% body fat mahogany colored skin and like 85 packs for abs…YUMMY I got pictures with 2 of them. It was wonderful! Then we went to bed.
Tuesday 4/26
we stayed on the boat all day and swam…they had SALT WATER pools…it was so gross. But ya we went to the show again that night and it was a series of Broadway plays and it was awesome again hot guys and got pictures with 2 of them it was a wonderful day as well.
Wednesday 4/27
Got up had breakfast and met out tour guide for the botanical gardens! Its was soooooooooooooooo pretty. Lots and plants and flowers and such. The trees were literally a billion feet tall…omg it was crazy I felt so little (that doesn’t happen that often) haha. To get into the gardens u had to go down this huge steep board walk that was about a quarter of a mile and it was sooooooo steep and I climbed it all by myself! I was so proud haha. After the gardens we went back on the ship and saw the show it was a comedian named Chris Alpine. He was hysterical omg we sat right in the front and I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. After the show we stayed up until ten to see the captain drive by the volcano that has been erupting since 1984. It was soooo cool. Absolutely amazing to see new land being formed.
Thursday 4/28
OMG today was the funnest day! We woke up and did the usual morning thing (see above if you don’t know) This time our boat tendered. Tendering is when the boat has to put his anchor down because none of the ports on the island so they anchor and they take us on littler boats to the shore. When we got to the shore we went on a different boat to go snorkeling! It was so much fun! The water was so blue and pretty…I absolutely loved it. It was my favoritest thing of the week. The crew of the boat was REALLY hot (do you see a pattern of the week?) haha anyway as soon as I put my mask in the water I could see right to the bottom. It was amazing! There was so many fishies and it was juss sooo cool! After we got done snorkeling I dove of the 15 ft platform on the boat…it was soooooo scary but im glad I did it. My mom got a really good picture of it. After that we rode back to the shore, it took about 45 mins. I was sitting with my legs over the side and my foot got soooooo burned…my mom said it was third degree it looks awful! Its all purple and wrinkly. When we got back to the shore we got back on the small boat and got on the ship. We hung around swam took a nap and then ate supper. We saw the show as usual. It was Sealeg Cirk and it was kinda of like Circtus O’le which is an acrobatic kinda of performance thing…it was really good. After the show I bet you can guess what we did…went to bed!
Friday 4/29
This was an easy day…we spent the day at the beach and did some shopping not to much hung around on the boat swimming and such. Went to the show again…it was Chris Alpine’s “Adult Show” still very funny…then went to bed
Saturday 4/30 2:00am
Woke up and got dressed in a daze because it was TWO O’CLOCK IN THE FRICKIN MORNING! But anyway, we got on a tour bus and drove to the top of mount some long name that starts with an H anyway we were so high up it was above the clouds. We were there to watch the sun rise. I cant even tell you how beautiful it was. It is absolutely indescribable. I would do it again in a heartbeat. After that we had a day just like Friday because we were so tired. We went to the show…it was the Jean and Ryan company again but they did “Runnin’ Wild” it was very good and it was the last night on the boat…very sad then we went to bed very willingly.
Sunday 5/1
It was a very sad day because we had to pack and leave the ship for good We did all the morning stuff and disembarked the boat. We got out luggage and put it on a bus so we could go to Pearl Harbor it was great. It was amazing…we could still see the oil rising from the USS Arizona and it has been 64 years. I was very moving to see the memorial and hear all the stories. Then we got a tour of the town and then went 12 hours home on the planes.
That was a very compact version of it because I just don’t have words to describe everything it was so cool and I will never forget it. If you wish to know more just ask me because it is definitely hard to express by typing! So I hope you all enjoy it…
