Where Oh Where is My Driver's License?

Karen, April and Bob made us a great Friday dinner. After we were filled, we played a game then went to bed by 10 pm. After all, we all got up early and Hawaii is 3-hrs earlier which means it was near 1:00 am Calif time.

Everyone slept well and a couple of us enjoyed the sunrise this morning while others - them teenagers who can sleep for hours - got some extra beauty sleep! If you look closely, you can pick out Bob running.


While Bob ran, Bill and Karen enjoyed a beautiful morning walk around the lagoons.


After breakfast off to lagoon 1 for some snorkling. There are 4 lagoons so we must try them all. Lagoon 1 is in front of the new Disney Resort hotel shown in the background while April and Kayley enjoy the warm water.


All of us had a great time snorkeling and saw lots of fish and turtles. After lunch on the beach, more snorkeling and a swim in the pool.



For dinner, we ate in our condo and enjoyed each others company on our 2nd day in paradise. For dinner, Karen made her famous mac-n-cheese...um, good!


So why the title? After we got back from the beach and cleaned up, Bill could not find his driver's license. He had it and his room key at the beach and put it in Karen's beach bag. We looked everywhere and finally concluded it must have fallen out at the beach. Bill began looking online to see how to get another - he needed it for ID and the rental car and was frustrated. We looked everywhere twice. Bob asked when he had it last and everyone was giving Bill the third degree. After searching several times, in every place conceivable, Karen had an epiphany and found it. The license slipped inside her Kindle!

Unplanned side trip.

Last night we decided to do a 'unplanned side trip', so we studied our AAA France guide book. After some research, we called Hertz and reserved a car. After breakfast it was a short 15-min walk to the agency and in no time, off we went exploring in our little rental. Our near new Fiat 500 for the day. Karen read about this medieval Chàteau about 15-miles from Colmar along the Alsace Wine Route. The drive up to the castle (it's at 2, 500-ft) was very nice through grape vine covered hillsides leading into the forest. As we got close to the castle, there were cars parked along the narrow road for miles. Bill decided we'd go all the way up and see if we might be able to park closer - after all, some peps might be leaving. He was right, and we only had a short walk. Approaching the Castle The Chàteau de Haut Koenigsbourg turns out to be a much-visited castle, looming above the woodlands and countryside below. In fact, it is one of France's most widely v...

Get you own dessert Paul!

We woke up to clouds this morning with 25 mi/hr. wind and a temperature of 46 degrees. Because of the wind, the temperature gauge says it feels like 27…burr! Considering it was near 70 yesterday, this was a dramatic change. But that didn’t stop the Greens or Kellys. But, because of the challenges the Talanians had yesterday, they decided to sleep in and enjoy their morning onboard the Viking Sigrun. Our bus left at 9am for the tulip farm which took us approx. 45-minutes to reach. Although we had a few sprinkles along the way, it had stopped by the time we reached the tulip farm. The farmers wife had set up tables and chairs inside their large covered green house and tractor storage area where they served us coffee, tea, and sweets while she gave us a presentation about the farm. She also had a store with several items for sale. Karen was the only one tempted, so she bought a watercolor reproduction of tulips. The owners wife also had some beautiful murals so we took our pictu...

Discombobulated Day

Late yesterday afternoon (Monday) our Cruise Director got the news that we wouldn’t be able to dock at our planned port, Nijmegan. Our captain got permission to dock there for a short time – long enough to disembark the people who were planning on doing the excursions there. We then sailed away downriver to Emmerich, Germany. We were given many choices as to what we could do about excursions. Our group decided to forgo the excursions in Nijmegan and stay and enjoy the ship as we sailed to Emmerich. We relaxed onboard and when we docked, we had a nice lunch onboard and then decided to stroll around town. Adjacent to our port just a few steps away was St. Martini church and these two interesting statues – a gondolier and an old man watching the river flow by.   It would have been nice in Emmerich except all the stores and restaurants were closed and we were never able to find out why. We enjoyed the walk and beautiful architecture of St. Aldegundis Kirche, who was a Catholic Sa...
