Day 5 in Paradise

Time just seems to evaporate when in Paradise! Hope I can catch you up.

Momday after watching the sunrise on the beach (hope you saw my picture on FB) we came back and sat around the pool and talked and enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sun and conversation with friends. I think I have mentioned the pool here is a meandering "river" that never gets over 4 feet so it's wonderful for water walking, which we did/do.


Mom day afternoon we loaded up the vans and headed for Po'ipo where we boarded the Captain Andy's catamaran for a sunset dinner cruise around the Na'Pali coast. Quite awesome beauty. The captain was very informative and told history and legends about points along the way. At one ot there was a beach with an arch where a scene from Pirates of the Carribean was filmed. Remember that scene?

The front of the catamaran had what they called a trampoline. It actually looked like a trampoline and later we found out it acted like one too! The more adventuresome (including one of our West Va ladies tried it out!). You laid down on it facing forward and let the wave
action bounce you up and down. Looked like fun but I didn't find out. The wave action was something else! Needless to say some of us couldn't stand that motion and were relegated to the rear od the boat and told ti drink a beer and keep you eyes on the horizon! The test of those on board enjoyed a chicken dinner while the ship was under sail and much less " wavy". After we had finished the capt started up the motors again and we headed back to dock. The panorama was quite spectacular and the ride quite an experience!!!!! Never experienced a feeling like that before and don't want to again!

When we got back to the room, it was ramen noodles for me!

Again, please pardon any clerical errors.
