Trip to Hawaii - Day 2 Fri Dec 2

We stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton St Pedro. Very nice hotel and the in house restaurant food was actually quite good. We found the prices reasonable. And the service was wonderful. We arrived late last night. Around 8:00 pm. The waiters made us feel very comfortable.
This morning we are still feeling the time change. We’re up bright and early and we don’t have to check out until 12. But we’re supposed to meet the shuttle at 11:45.

The view from our room is just as awesome as it was last night.

We took a bit of a walk before breakfast. The marina is awesome. We spot sea stars in lot’s of places and a couple of herons.
Then there’s this
little bird that’s swimming in the water. It dives down below the surface of the water and swims like a frog. Probably looking for food. I think it's a baby grebe.

After a quick bite of breakfast, again, very good, it’s time to head off to the port. Where we stand in line again and again. This time, we didn’t have to stay out in the sun.

When we finally get on board we find that they hit rough seas on the previous cruise and weren’t able to get into port on schedule. So everything is behind. But we do get into our room right away.

Pretty soon it’s time for dinner and we meet some of the other people who booked thru ‘Reggie’. Turns out to be a pretty good bunch of people.
