    I've never been to Hawaii, but would love to go one day, so this was a fantastic overview! But why was I sitting here listening about the fireplace and thinking "They must really love soccer!" I had to google it because I knew that couldn't possibly be right. Pele the god of fire makes a LOT more sense! I love that you got an extra special experience at the Mauna Loa factory. How cool! You're right that you never know what's going to happen to enhance your experience! That waterfalls and the banyan trees! OMG! Incredible! I've never seen shave ice like that. In Baltimore we call them "snowballs" and we put marshmallow cream on top, but what you showed is NOTHING like what we do here. Yours was so much more epic! Hope you're having a blast in Malaysia! What a huge difference from Hawaii. Our world really is incredible!

    Wife and I were just in Hawaii for the first time 2 months ago with some friends. 10 days on the Big island wasn't enough. Stayed just south of Hilo. Spent 2 of the days at Volcano National Park, a day visiting the waterfalls and even zip lined over one north of Akaka, and saw whales spouting and smacking their tales on the water just off the shore.

    We love watching your travels! Thank you for sharing these! My 5 kids also watch them with me. They would like to ask a question: do you know how many kids are doing the ultimate world cruise? And what do the kids like to do for fun on the ship?

    • @livingphase2
      @livingphase2  Před měsícem

      There are 22 or 26 kids ages 2 to 16 doing the full world cruise. Royal Caribbean has adventure ocean for all of the kids. On hot days, they also open up their little wading pool with a small waterslide. I see a lot of children doing homeschooling in the mornings. Other children join on throughout the various mini legs and I see them all playing together. They also have ping-pong tables, dance parties, and other activities for the children. For Easter, they had an Easter egg hunt and at Christmas Santa Claus came and gave them all a small gift.

    The other passengers who have become good friends with you really lucked out in finding a great couple with whom to discover/explore various areas of the world. It seems as if the two of you are kind and thoughtful people who are more than willing to share your travel expertise/experiences with likeminded fellow travelers. Congratulations on forging new friendships and on
    reveling in all the world offers to those with open and inquisitive minds.
