Finally, some pictures...

December 5, 2024

Finally found a cable to connect my Nikon to the computer so I could download pictures. Today will be from the Queen Mary to yesterday (after six days at sea!) in Kahului on our tour with Hike Maui.

Queen Mary on the left, our Seabourn Quest docked behind her.

Randy waiting and waiting and waiting for our ride to the Quest.

The day after Thanksgiving, the ship was decorated for Christmas.

Willie awaiting a cocktail in the Observation Bar.

Willie napping on the deck above the pool.

Looking down our hallway.

The Grand Staircase decorated for Christmas. Straight ahead is the door to the Grand Salon where all the shows and talks and the Liar's Game take place.

Willie admiring the Grand Staircase.

Willie looking forward to trying the pool (NOT!).

The pool.

Randalyn, our tour guide from Hike Maui showing us the taro root we will be trying (not very tasty, and it is sort of gritty).

I forget what this is called, but definitely purple and tastier than the taro root. But still gritty.

Up close and personal with whatever the purple stuff is.

Starfruit, very tasty and sweet.

Randalyn showing us how to open a coconut.

We finished with cookies!

Believe it or not, this is the entrance to a playground, AKA Giggle Hill.

It has a beautiful castle for the kids to play in/climb on.

Our lunch spot in Makawao.

Those are not rocks, they are green turtles resting after their breakfast for about 10 to 15 hours.

And a successful surfer, also at the turttle beach.

The end of a successful day.

On to Hilo, Hawaii, tomorrow.
