After breakfast, we went to Tai Chi. The rest of the day doing my own thing while Janice went to a flower-arranging demonstrations and a flower-arranging and a writing class. We now have a lovely arrangement in our cabin that Janice made! I worked on the blog/journal, walked around the deck a few times, gave some of Janice’s favorite music to Diane, talked with friends and strangers. In the former category was a woman we got to know in ’09 who owns half a Waikki hotel and offered a complementary room if Janice and I would come and visit. In the latter category, Dusty Rhodes saw me working at my computer and stopped to ask some questions about e-readers.
I’m thinking I’ll get more satisfaction keeping up on my notes, watching the water, and hanging out than listening to half-interesting lectures and performers. I love to walk the outside decks every so often just to feel the air and see the water.
Tonight is the second formal night. After dinner we returned to our cabin and found very nice travel kits outfitted with various common medicines, hand sanitizer, sewing kit, etc. We all went to the night’s entertainers, a repeat of the Latin harpist and last night’s Latin pianist. The former was good, but the latter was tiresome. The Queen’s Lounge was all decorated for the Black and White Ball that followed the show. Janice and I had dropped in on their balls in ’09, so we skipped it to hear more from Diane at the piano bar while we worked on our journals/blogs. Another 2fer, Drambuie.
