We have been fortunate that all of our tours have been fantastic; great guides and learning experiences. With week three approaching that was soon to change. However, last Sunday, we were treated to an exceptional time out to sea on the Mai-Tai Catamaran Tour. Sailing around Waikiki, as Diamond head beckoned to us in the background, our journey saw us coast along on the open waters.We sipped on Mai-Tai's ( no surprize) and hoped to spot sea life. After the previous night of participating in my first Pub Crawl and sadly realizing I'd miss that party boat by a good twenty years, I was hoping a spinner dolphin would present itself. But, much like my lost youth that even the worst vodka couldn't enhance, the no show of marine life dampered my spirits a wee bit. Then, as I gazed off towards the horizon, I was snapped back to the reality that I was with the man I love, on a beautiful boat sailing the deep blue sea. In the past few weeks, I have been snorkeling, Volcano watching, Island hopping and eaten foods that I cannot pronounce. I've seen a turtle under the water, walked hand in hand with my partner along some of the most prestine white sand beaches and sat humbled at the poignant Pearl Harbor Memorial. Indeed, I had to wait forty years to see and do these brilliant things, but lingering another twenty to see dolphins shouldn't be that hard... and I am sure it will be still be something for me to look forward to.
