GloBug · Nov 10, 2011

Ha ha, I was trying to remember the Hawai'ian word for thanks, and I couldn't. I just knew it wasn't "gracias"!

ShipMaven · Nov 11, 2011

I hope we'll all become ohana by the end of this cruise!

Beryl · Nov 11, 2011

I think you already are ... at least I think everyone feels that way! Here's to family! :biggrin:

Mahalo nui loa, Beryl. :biggrin:

Yea, it must be Thursday! I must be a day off! :whistle:

ShipMaven · Nov 17, 2011

Thursday - Hawai'i. Friday - Alaska. :whistle:

Beryl · Nov 18, 2011

Phrase of the week...

Hau’oli La Ho’omakika’i (pronounced how-oh-lay la ho-o-ma-key-kah-ee)

Practice all week long so that next Thursday you can impress your family and friends when you wish them Happy Thanksgiving in Hawaiian!

GloBug · Nov 18, 2011

I will! I have a nephew who lives in Hawai'i during the winter and NYC during the summer, so I'll spring this on him. I also have a good friend who was born and raised in Hawai'i (his dad was a dancer in South Pacific) and I'll wish him a Hau’oli La Ho’omakika’i too. Thanks Beryl!

ShipMaven · Nov 18, 2011

Mahalo for the language lesson, Beryl. We need you on board our cruise!

ShipMaven · Nov 24, 2011

Are you planning on sacrificing him to Madam Pele?

Calgon1 · Nov 26, 2011

I've been rather quiet lately. But, do monitor the boards fairly regularly. 73 weeks will pass by before we realize it.

Note to Globug: "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Beware, be very ware ...

QUACK !!
