I spent a wonderful day on Kaua'i yesterday with Matt. What a stunningly beautiful place! And I only saw a tiny fraction of it.

I could have easily spent a week or more on Kaua'i. It is lush, rugged, and deserves to be explored. Our plans to spend the day with shipmates were pushed to Fij

I spent the first port day in Oahu on the ship getting some rest. Matt kayaked to a sandbar with his Oahu-based son and enjoyed his company. Yeste
