Kona, "Big Island", Hawaii
Today we booked a shore excursion through Carnival. When doing my
research I found that Kona was the place to snorkel. So snorkel we would!
We were on the second tender off the ship and on our way. Once we made it
to the pier we walked right around the corner to get on the Snorkel
Catamaran. We've done Catamaran Snorkel trips in the Caribbean and
we've always loved it! This was the exception for me. It was ROUGH! We
had 3-4 foot swells. My only savior was that the bartender made me a real
gingerale with ginger tablets and soda water. It really helped to settle my
stomach. We cruised around for a while and then we went to a cove to
snorkel. I tried to snorkel for a bit but it really just wore me out! I felt like I
was being tossed around and I couldn't take it. I then tried to lay on one of
the snorkel boogie boards they had and I expended way too much energy just
trying to stay on it. I finally gave in after about 45 minutes and got back on
the catamaran. Scott on the other hand had a blast! He snorkeled for a bit
and then he spent the rest of the time, jumping off the high dive repeatedly!
After our excursion we went and did some shopping. With that accomplished
we headed back to the ship. We got back to the cabin and I crashed! That
water just wore me out! It was a really fun day though and I'm glad we did it!
