January 18 - Cruising the Pacific


Today we had some very good lectures including one on the formation and settlement of Hawaii, and a great one on the US/UK Transatlantic relationship.  There was also one on the exploration voyages of Captain Cook and his death in Hawaii.

Other than the lectures we don’t seem to be doing a lot of anything else on board except eat.  We had dinner with Karen and Steven from Half Moon Bay, CA.  They own a vacation home in New Zealand and are on their way there to spend some time in their home.  Karen doesn’t like flying so all of their travel is by ship.  They have even taken cargo ships (which they said don’t have stabilizers so they pitch a lot in rough seas). 

The evening concert was presented by Broadway singer Christine Andreas.  She had a great voice and sang a few selections from her upcoming album, Piaf, No Regrets.  She makes a great Edith Piaf.
