Final Thoughts--Hawaii and San Diego

Some final thoughts on our trip:

---We found out that we do enjoy the long number of sea days back to back. A transatlantic with it's 7 days at sea should be fine.

---We liked Hawaii, but wouldn't want to live there. We like to be able to hop in the car and go somewhere. I can understand "island fever".

---If we had a recommend an island to someone it would be Maui.

---We enjoyed San Diego as well. We only did a small fraction of the things that were available in the area we were staying in. If we ever did another cruise out of San Diego I would go early again and try to do some of those other things.

---Having a couple of extra days at the end of the cruise worked out for us this time as well. I don't think I'll ever chose to fly out on the day a cruise is due in. Just too much stress if something goes wrong on the cruise.

---We would like to thank my brother for the air miles for the trip, especially the upgrade to 1st class on the way to San Diego. I didn't tell Marcia until we were at the airport. We both loved it and she didn't complain about flying the whole way :)

---We continue to enjoy Holland America and did put down a future cruise deposit for that cruise to Alaska. As soon as they release the dates for 2013, we will be giving them a call and setting things up.

---Coming home after three weeks away--it takes a while to catch up! I had 1500 emails and we had a laundry basket full of mail. By the time you get caught up, you feel like you need another vacation!
