Back in Hawaii

Got back to Honolulu this morning.

And leave again tomorrow afternoon local time. We fly back to LAX. Then I am on reserve for the next 17 days. So that is a total of 29 days gone from home.

Here are some more pictures from last week when Susan was with me in Hawaii.

Lunch

An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building.

They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, 'Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building.'

The Mexican! Opened his lunch box and exclaimed,' Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too.'

The blonde opened his lunch and said, 'Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too.'

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, 'If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!'

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, 'I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much.'

Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said, 'Don't look at me. The idiot makes his own lunch.'

Vacation time over...

Well, I took Susan to the Honolulu International Airport this morning (5:30 am) to catch a 7:10 am flight to LAX then on to St Louis. She should get home at about 11:00 pm tonight.

We had a great time here. Last night we took a walk through Waikiki Beach to watch the sunset.

I am scheduled to fly later today from here to LAX. Then stay in LA until Tuesday morning.

Swimming with the Dolpfins

Yesterday we went to Sea Life Park. We got to swim and touch and ride the dolphins. We had a great time there. I am trying to upload the pictures but not having much success at this time. I will try later.

I am leaving to go to LA and back in a few hours. We had breakfast this morning and then went to Waikiki Beach, just in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and went swimming there for a couple of hours.

Tomorrow we just plan to go to the beach and relax for the day.

THE PICTURES JUST UPLOADED!!!! YEAH!!!!!!

Susan leaves for home Saturday morning.

More later...

DIVE, DIVE, DIVE........

Today we went "Under the Sea" on the Atlantis. It is a 68 passenger submarine. Top depth we went was 120 feet.

We first took a 10 minute ride out to the Atlantis. Then transferred on board to the ATLANTIS. It was about a 35 minute dive.

The last photo is of a turtle resting on the bow of a sunken ship that is now a reef off the coast of Waikiki Beach.

Time to go to work tomorrow afternoon. Susan will be on her own for a day. She is already planning her day alone.

Whale Watching...or is he watching us?

The whales come up very quickly and plus the fact we bought a new camera, I was a little slow on getting pictures. This is about the best one that I could get of them. But I was the one who say this one first. I first saw him just below the surface of the water, just before he came up to the surface.

We are going down to the International Market Place and also see about some outer tours for the week.

Susan is sunburned a little on her arms from yesterday. We ran into my first officer and had dinner with him last night.

More of our adventures tomorrow.

"CAPTAIN!.....They be whales!!!!!"

Susan came out to Hawaii to be with me this week.

We went on a Whale Watching Cruise. Last day of whale watching here in Hawaii. But, we did see a couple of whales.

Thinking about going to swim with the dolphins tomorrow.

Sunny and 85F here in Honolulu today.

More later.....
