Confusion

A friend of mine drives a Limo here. He told me that he was awaiting a large party of people and I thought he said the “Prince of Monaco”. The Pricess of Monaco used to be Grace Kelly and I went on and on about how I once was at the wheel of a ship they used to own. That ship was eventually put into service as the Fantome, a Windjammer cruise sailing vessel. Consisting of 4 sails and diesel engines it was a great ship but was unfortunately lost at sea during a terrific hurricane named Mitch. If you want to see a completely unforcastable hurricane path, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Mitch The Fantome is also mentioned. The only two items found from the ship was part of the grand stairway and a wheel (perhaps the one I had used years earlier).

Well after all that discussion, it turns out that the Prince that is here is NOT from Monaco, rather from Morocco, which as we all know from the movie “Cassablana” is in Africa.

So even though I was confused, at least I knew that they landed on Hawaii (the island the state is named after, but not the main island, which is Oahu). Oahu has a town named Waimea, but so does the island of Kauai and the Big Island (the aforementioned Hawaii island). Waimea means “reddish water”.

Hawaii also has word “Aloha” which means “hi”, “hello”, “love” and oftentimes used to say “goodbye”.

Aloha!
