Heading to Las Vegas, baby! But where’s my plane? Seems like there’s a lot of Southwest flight delays this morning.

Happy Birthday, OB @Ocean Boy, have a wonderful day! @h20skibum, Mark, Happy Birthday to your daughter and your sister-in-law. @Luckynana, Maryann, your grandchildren are just amazing with all their achievements. I see Ava as a lovely young lady. Jack and Ryan as fine young men. @Momof3gurlz, Deb, I love the idea of the overhang in your backyard for the BBQ setup. So great that Handy Andy will be able to put it together. @aussielozzie18, thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. They are awesome. My mom celebrated her 96th birthday Sunday 5/28. We all celebrated with her with all her children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

@CruiszBug You’re back! I’m so happy you’re back- safe and sound with your family! Huge Hugs to you all!

@brillohead This one is for you. You definitely need this T-shirt.

Cool gift, Greg! Happy Birthday from DH and me, too! Cheers!!!

Thank you so much for your help, Bob. Yes, it is between the Music Hall and the Royal Theater.

For butterfly lovers FullSizeRender.MOV Can @Ozark_Kidor @bobmaclibertyconvert this so all can view it? Thank you!

🤷‍♀️ Maybe it’s a Ovation thing. Officer told me I could get ice cream free in the soft serve station outside.

That’s right. When we were on Odyssey in October/November, that ice cream in the Windjammer was free. Different flavors (besides the usual standard flavors) everyday. When the menus changed in the MDR and Windjammer, that free ice cream went away along with it, so I was told from one of the officers walking around in the Windjammer. How was it when you were on Odyssey in January? BTW, @Ozark_Kidand I noticed this when we were sailing away from Kona. We thought it might be a little lighthouse. We took a picture of it for you anyway.

Just a few more to share. Headliner Show: Oh What A Night. Everyone really enjoyed the show. Headliner Show: Drums of Paradise- featured the spirit and culture of Polynesian and Hawaiian dance This crew member won the championship for their crew talent show. He performed for us in one of the four Crew Connection performances that showcased all the talents of some of the crew members. He sang “Time To Say Goodbye”. It gave me goosebumps he was so good. The High “C” Horn in Music Hall Sorrento’s Pizza fresh and hot right out of the oven Happy Windjammer crew members clapping us in for dinner on the last night This used to be free in the Windjammer but now it’s $1.50 for a scoop So that’s how they do it. Right at midnight Almost time to go home

And still more…

More random stuff… Butterflies Birds

Some random pictures of around the ship Before the crowd

Thank you, Maryann. No, that was not taken from my balcony. It was taken outside in the back of the Windjammer on Deck 14.

One more sunset picture for all y’all. This was when we landed.

It was from the MDR lunch. That lunch took like 2 hours. We had a Crew Connection Show to go to that was at 2:30 and we hadn’t even served dessert yet. We were sitting there waiting for so long so we just asked for it to-go. And that was the only time I saw Apple Blossom on the menu. Other times it was apple crumble which is not the same We went there for lunch just for the apple blossom. Should’ve just ordered that, I guess.

There’s still a little snow on top of the mountain. Waterfront Station is beautiful I know you like the Apple Blossom. This one is for you, my friend.

Well, it’s over. All good things must come to an end. We said our goodbyes with our CC friends that we enjoyed meeting so much. We now have great memories of them until we meet again. This morning’s sunrise in Vancouver Cruising under Lion’s Gate Bridge How fun it was to run into Pat @taznremmy,. We are now sitting at our gate ready to board for flight home.

Our last night’s sunset as we head for Vancouver

This morning’s sunrise… Gave way to this…sunshine with much calmer and smoother seas

After we left Kona, Day 4, it got really windy out on deck. It was really risky trying to take a sunset picture. I’d run out on deck trying hard not to get blown off the ship and snap a picture as fast and as best I could and run back in. Couldn’t hold the camera still. The temperature got really cold after that, along with really strong wind. Keeping my feet warm Waiting for sunset. It was windy and cold. Here it is. The sun setting. Day 5 Sunrise. I was a little late getting out there.

We didn’t get this invite until this afternoon also. But I believe Denny @CruiszBug went to this officers’ cocktail party. I wonder if it was tonight since it was dress-your-best night. Pat, that is correct info with refundable deposit and amount for OBC. That was how we booked Bella 2. No, we did not come across any Tiki bars on our walk to the beach. There could have been some near the port but we just didn’t notice any.

Graham @grapau27, this one is for you. This breakfast was delicious- just like how you have it in UK.

Sunrise in Kona on Friday 5/5 Lava rock beach in Kailua, Kona

DH and couple other guys went to play golf yesterday at the Royal Ka’anapali golf course. So sorry @CruiszBug’s DH couldn’t make it.
