We are having some elections in our province. I'm not politically-minded but my hairdresser is of the opinion that everyone should vote and have a say. Then yesterday my friend S asked if I wanted to do the advance voting, so I thought it would be a great idea to get it done. Later in the day, husband M and son K went to vote. Daughter L was out of town for the day.
We went on a family trip with L's boyfriend and his family to Hawaii for 12 days in May. I was able to meet and have dinner with Gigi and her husband David when we arrived in Honolulu for a few days. Before we left on an NCL cruise of the islands the next day, I was able to meet with Kay and her husband Art. These were special moments in what turned out to be a dream vacation. We had ports of call in Maui, Hilo and Kona on the Big Island, then finally Kauai before returning to Honolulu for the trip home. We LOVED our time in Hawaii! And I would recommend the Norwegian Cruise Lines Pride of America cruise.
We went on a speedboat snorkelling trip in Kona and the tour guide (a former chef) taught me how to cut this party pineapple. Isn't it neat? That might have been my favourite tour as I love to snorkel. L thought Kona had beautiful clear waters.
