What is that fantastic view out our cabin window, you ask? It seems to be Access Bay number 34, in the port of Honolulu. It will continue to be our view until sometime tomorrow afternoon when we finally leave Honolulu. We stopped here at noon today after leaving Hilo, to take on fuel. Because of a big storm in the Pacific, the captain decided we will stay here tonight instead of sailing on to Japan just yet. What is harder than multiple days at sea? Multiple days docked in a cool port where you cannot leave the ship. Yep, we are stopped here but not disembarking, probably because they aren't sure when the weather will clear. So we are still "hanging loose" at, but not in, Honolulu.
Good to know that you, too, must deal with inclement weather decisions. Although, interestingly, that responsibility fully lies with the captain of the ship.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, you could be battling black ice on the way to work at UVA, so looking at the porthole may not be so bad!
This post, I have most gratefully appreciated. Your trip now seems less glamorous, but more adventurous. :)
Happy working and traveling.

Your view is certainly better than the snow out my window!
