HONOLULU - Day 2
I had such a relaxing day I hardly took any photo's. Patrick picked me up from the Ship and we went to the local's beach spot down near Diamond Head and the War Memorial - way less crowded than Waikiki Beach in front of the hotels. I left my phone locked in the car for peace of mind. We swam and chatted and I met some of his friends. Later we had garlic shrimp from a yummy spot, recommended by one of the food truck vendors. Patrick surprised me with a bag of hard pretzel treats before dropping me back at the Ship and sadly it was time to say Aloha to him! I hit the gym and did a long Peloton workout, as we sailed out of Honolulu.
Dinner tonight was a 50th Birthday celebration for Aussie Rina! Two of her besties David Austin, my next door neighbor and Paul Fishman, my favorite retired chef, surprised her and dressed up to give her a proper Hawaiin celebration!! It turned out to be the one time Paulie didn't come to me for costume help - he could have borrowed my seashell bra!!
