A lazy day on the boat, not even bothering to get off. Breakfast, reading, work, reading, sunning on the deck — you know, the hard life.

This is the shot from the 14th deck… where I was sunny around noon.

We’ve been turned down for the EasyFly program — even though we are already upgraded to First Class on the return trip — but they are sending up something called VIP tags — hope they don’t charge us the $20 per person for those!

Off to lunch at the trough (I mean the buffet).

We head out at 1:30pm, heading up the coast (the opposite direction we need to get to Honolulu) so we can see the Na Pali coastline at sunset — if it is as beautiful as the lava flows at night, I’ll be really happy.

Maybe dinner with the boys tonight, who knows. I do have some pictures for them. I brought along a little 4×6 Photo Printer (the HP PhotoSmart 335 that I picked up for $29.95 plus shipping).

Right now it’s time for free champagne at the art auction — we’ll see what that brings. Last time Jeff found a cell that he really liked and made a late night deal for it after the auction.

So, our evening contains drinking. The photo above is NOT our server, he is just the server we want to take home. That would be Sean. Sean is OCD. Seriously. The test was when our waitress, Noelita, touched him on one shoulder, and he instantly had to “balance” himself and he touched his other shoulder. We want to adopt him.

Way too much booze and food, in fact, there is a crab cake in the fridge. Let’s not go into the bar where the Aussies were doing nude acts last night, and the Russians were fucking in the corner. I would have stayed — but the cigarette smoke was bothering me.

And then there is the hell of packing. Oh, did I mention a truly great meal at the steakhouse. Didn’t want to go there because Jeff isn’t a big steak fan… but, shit, the food was great. Even he said so.
