The Duck Crew - 18 Apr 2013 - We Take on Hawai'i - QUACK!

[GloBug]

Mary Ann, you are going to have to remind me where to get that Duck Cruise countdown...

 

[ShipMaven]

Glo - please check your PM's.

 

[ShipMaven]

FWIW to those who have booked, the rates at the Pan Pacific Hotel/Canada Place - which is among my very favorites in the world - are VERY reasonable through HAL. I booked one night pre-cruise and post-cruise.

 

[GloBug]

My go-to person for exceptional rates at Marriott hotels has retired! (argh!) and so we'll be checking this out!

 

[GloBug]

Mary Ann, I think it's just you and me....

 

[ShipMaven]

For what, Glo?

QUACK !! Here we are! I too checked the Cruise Tracker. This is going to be a fantastic Kaka (Hawaiian for: duck) Kruise. Especially since the GloBug will only be with us for the first 7 days! (hey, gurl ... you made the entry ...) By my figuring, we'll be throwing her off the KakaDam's Duck-A-Pault in Honolulu. Pastry rushes included!

By the way ... Enforcer Duck has new "tropical" uniform ....

​

Flower and leaves help him blend in with jungle ..... Evil GloBug will never see him comming !

I know! My keyboard number keys stick sometimes, so it does appear I'm only on for 7 days. My nephew lives in Hawaii, so if I have to walk the Kaka Plank in Honolulu... not such a bad place, I guess...

What is a pastry rush???

Oh, BTW, I saw one of the guys in the Gay Pride parade wearing that same hat. I'm just saying...

[Calgon1]

Starting to put my wish list together. Thus far, I want to:

visit the Punchbowl
visit the USS Arizona
tour an active volcano
attend a Polynesian luau/show
Get a photo of DaKine and (hopefully) any of the Chapmans ... (Hmmmmm. Maybe I could trade a duck hat for a photo op????)
take a ride in a war outrigger

What are you guys and gals considering????

 

[ShipMaven]

Anyone wanting to visit the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor should plan on booking the earliest possible excursion in the morning. The lines build quickly and you'll lose a lot of time standing in them if you don't go early. And a reminder to the men that shouldn't even need to be made - please remember to remove your hats/caps out of respect while in the Memorial. Since 9-11, access to the Punchbowl is very limited. Continuing on Oah'u, some enjoy going to the Polynesian Cultural Center out near Laie.

 

[Jeanie]

Sounds exciting Maryann

 

[GloBug]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around Calgon Duck, the Bounty Hunter...

It is, Jeanie.

That should be an impossible task, Glo.

Wasn't going to go there, but readers are probably wondering what you were doing at the Gay Pride Parade?

Understand you came in a distant second in the election as "King".

VOTE FOR KING GLOBUG !

 

[GloBug]

John, in the gay world there are no Kings. But a heck of a lot of Queens!!!

 

[GloBug]

It always is....

Obviously, I'm not as familiar with it as some appear to be ... quack!
