It is a long hot 🥵 climb to the top. And the incline is very steep. Was really sucking wind at the top. We did this tour last fall and it was hot 🥵 and humid. Hope you drank lots of water 💧

Our flight out DFW in morning at 1100. Looking forward to this cruise and meeting you two young men. Vic

That is an interesting geography note about Tahiti and Hawaii. Vic

We walk off at about 6:55 AM and was in a cab by 7:05 Vic

Paul, Very well stated in both posts. Vic

Great video's Paul

Linda and I will also be on this cruise. Looking forward to a great time and seeing all the new things Royal has put on the ship. Vic

I found some magnet night lights on Amazon called Wyze Night Light. They are a three pack and motion sensor light. You can charge they up them using a USB plug. Nice soft light and stay on for about a minute. Work great for both cabin and bathroom night lite. They were less that $20. Vic

Jim_Iain, Enjoyed your review. And sounds like you both had a great time on this new adventure. Linda & I are looking forward to meeting both of you next year on Solstice sailing from Honolulu. Vic

Back in 2008 I was talking with are a TA about an upcoming cruise. And she asked if I wanted to travel insurance for it. For some unknown reason I said yes.. It was the the first time I ever took travel insurance. The day before the cruise in Feb of 2009 Kiser were in Galveston the day before the cruise. That night I had a heart attack and had to miss the cruise. I recovered and doing fine. Then later that year the DW and her sisters were going to take a cruise. One sister was in an auto wreck. They missed their cruise. Travel insureance covered both cruise. Have not cruise without it since Vic
