Marina,s Year 11 school work was loaded with homework, assessments and the cruise was so much looking forward to though still with Biden worry of homework and assessment; her hand luggage contained her school textbook and notes and when there was time and energy she did put some effort into her work.
Cruise was a complete novelty experience and it was kind of exciting especially seeing all the posts on YouTube. We left Perth on 12 th April and arrived at Honolulu on 8.30 a, it was on the same date 12 th April, with a total of 18 flying hours . The taxi driver gave us the First impression of the gap between the rich and the poor in Waikiki. We checked in Hilton Village resort which was so large with 8 buildings. In no time we tucked into the famous American gigantic pancake stack at ihop. We then had a swim at the beach, which was so relaxing, Marina still could not believe the long awaited holiday finally came true - kind of unreal swimming in the Pacific Ocean, she said. We met with Jorming and Yuetyi on the cruise ship. We were all overjoyed with the amount of varieties of food offered by 7 complimentary dining places and of course there were a few that you had to pay but the price was very reasonable, take Tapanyaki as an example US29.50 per head.
Some videos/photos put together for this very amazingly 2019 Hawaii cruise holiday with my brother, sister in law and Marina.
