The TRIP - Day 3

June 15, 2009

Today was a great day. The first thing was to go snorkeling on the Fair Wind II. There were about 50~75 people on the ship. We were served rolls and juice while we took the 35-45 minute trip to the snorkeling site. It was the same site that Gloria and I went to 15 years ago on our first trip to Hawaii, but we knew this when we signed up.

It was a bit overcast; so, you couldn't see as well as I hoped. Every once in a while, the sun would come out, and it was wonderful.

We snorkeled for about 1.5 to 2 hours and broke for lunch. - cheeseburgers, chips, and beans.

Afterward, the other three went out again, but I had had my fill.

During lunch, we were joking about going down a water slide that was on the boat. No one want to go down. But I told everybody that if I went down would they. Everyone said yes. So, while the other thee were snorkeling, I got their attention and went down. (Hey, remember the tga.) They all came in and went down. Unfortunately, Wanda hurt her shoulder, but its better now.

After we got back, we rested for about an hour and a half. Then we went to a flea market. It was just a few booth selling clothes, jewelry, and junk. We didn't stay long.

When we left there, we looked for some coffee whole seller that someone in the condo office told us about. But, we never found it.

We then went on an adventure looking for a culture center. We ended going on some rough narrow roads and ended turning around. We found out, as we went back, that we had passed it going the other way. Unfortunately, it cost money, and as it was getting late, we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to see it all. So, we decided to see it another day. (As it turned out, we will see it on another trip. :))

Our supper was at Bubba Gumps, a restaurant based on the FORREST GUMP movie; it serves sea food. It was enjoyable. The company was great.

Afterward, we went back to the condo and watched TV. We all fell asleep: so we went to bed.
