We woke up yesterday morning to the normal string of announcements telling passengers with Aqua, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Purple (the list goes on and on) colored luggage tags that they could leave the ship. The voice that comes over the intercom starts out friendly as they go through the morning ritual of getting passengers to leave, but by the time the voice had to announce for the third time “This is your last and final call for ALL passengers to leave the vessel” you could clearly hear the anger and frustration coming through.

Before we started our day Rance and I spent the morning playing with the Wii Fit that our friends Jeff and Jeannie let us borrow during our contract. They’re coming back on board when we leave, so our keeping it means they didn’t have to take it with them. It also means we get to practice our ski-jumping skills while it’s in our possession, which clearly I need work on.

We had a wonderful lunch with R. Kevin Doyle who has been an integral part of the Honolulu improv scene for the past 16 years. He took us to one of his favorite dim sum restaurants in Chinatown. Great food and even better conversation; he’s a walking almanac of the local improv scene and it was great to hear how it has evolved over the years.

We spent the rest of the afternoon walking around and enjoying another perfect afternoon. I think I could get really used to this weather.
