Back at Sea

We left Honolulu under the light of the full moon and are heading toward Japan. Our ship was docked by one of the older structures on the island, Aloha Tower, which is pictured above.
We all went back to school today except for Asher, who was allowed to get some much-needed extra rest after all of the foot drama of Hawaii. We were all tired, though, including the college students. This tourism is hard work! Still, it was great to be back in class. The students in my voice class had all sorts of interesting observations about the voices of the Hawaiian people. And everyone is comparing notes in the halls and at meals about what they saw and did in Hawaii. We had a surprise birthday party at lunchtime for Margie, one of the dependent child coordinators. The group of younger boys wanted to play their daily soccer game, but it's raining today. So they all headed to one boy's room for an afternoon card game. At 2pm we'll all go to Global Studies, the class that everyone onboard takes. And in the late afternoon some college students are planning activities for the kids while all the parents have a social hour in the faculty staff lounge. Tonight, there is an "all-campus" post-port discussion in the union, which is the main meeting room. We never lack for activities!
