Life continues on the Pacific Princess. We were in Honolulu on Saturday (the 26 th ) and Lahaina on Sunday (the 27 th ). We’ve been to both islands, Oahu and Maui, so we didn’t feel compelled to take any excursions or do any sightseeing.

I’ve given up worrying about it. For 3 ½ months, there are so many things that we take for granted being at home, that, at least for me, I must have my creature comforts. We’ve already taken two suitcases down to Los Angeles when we visited Michael’s brother and sister-in-law before Christmas. We’ll have fou...
