Sail Away Party -- Sailing Away from Honolulu On Dec. 27, 2013

Sailing away from Honolulu

This is one of the many bands.  This married couple (he's in the way back, she's to the left) do Hawaiian music.  He teaches ukelele, she teaches the crocheted Hawaiian leis and beaded necklaces.

There was a continuously running video on the giant screen showing various dances and partying scenes.  One of the three pools is in the middle.

This is the bar at one end.  They had all kinds of flashing twinkling lights in with the bottles of liquor.  Needless to say, it did not show up on this picture.  After I took the picture, a very drunk, beautiful young blonde grabbed my arm and said, 'If you take a picture, you have to get a drink!' I pretended I don't drink, lol.

Here's the beginning of line dancing. They really got going after a while.

The floaties in the pool are baby dragons.

With my back to the party, I watched Honolulu recede.

They gave us streamers to throw!

It got pretty crazed. The streamers got hung up on lights strung across the top of the pool.  The lights were not on because Honolulu officials asked that they remain off to not annoy nesting shore birds.  Don't know what the birds thought of the high decibel music and pink lights ...
