Beginning on New Year's Eve of 2022 for a week, Cal and Virginia Ann went on a cruise to Hawaii. The cruise was a Christmas gift from Cal's mother Liz to Cal and his sister Mary and their spouses. Unfortunately Mary's husband, Jay, had surgery and could not go on the trip so Mary invited long time friend from a cruise to Alaska, Melissa Radke, to be her cruise buddy.

The cruise was on Norwegian Cruise Line which is the only cruise line allowed to sail in Hawaii. Starting in Honolulu we toured 4 different islands - the itinerary is below.
