Whale watching


This was the highlight of the weekend. We walked down to the pier and picked up our tickets at the Starlet reservation counter. We still has some time before we were supposed to board so we walked around the Aloha Tower Marketplace area. Where I lost my ticket for the boat ride. We retraced our steps and couldn't find it so we had to go back and get another one, luckily they didn't charge me. Once on board, the crew was introduced (they looked a bit sketchy but they were friendly) and we were off. One of the reasons we picked this tour was the guarantee that you would see a whale or you get to came back again. It was so nice to be out on the water we were actually hoping there would be no whale spotting, but no. There were probably 5 different areas where we were able to see numerous "whale butts" as part of the crew liked to call them. It was a nice 2 hour ride looking at the beautiful sights.

By the time we got back it was starting to rain and we had to use the bathroom. I'm not sure if I have mentioned this in the past but bathrooms are hard to find. A lot of places don't have public restrooms (like department stores and McDonald's) but we were able to use on at the Safeway. Where we picked up some food too. Once we were home we both put on sweatshirts and relaxed I can't believe how heavy the rain was falling on our walk home.

On a side note... My cousin Libby had her baby girl today. I am the godmother. The baby is healthy ad sounds like she has a full head of hair.
