Hey Thad

I suppose the 1st thing is to figure out what sprouted legs and left for Nebraski somewhere.  Hope you and the wife are still talking and having fun, like laughing at shorts and boots tan lines.

We got home a couple hours ago. We left at dark Hawaii time and made it to Houston at 8:00 am and Arkansas at 11:??
It was an awesome trip for sure.
I caught some kind of fever and spent the past couple days in bed. Feeling rough today.
It’s good to have sweet tea.

Sorry you had a bad couple days sick, at least it was at the end of the trip...

The trip was awesome. We went to Pearl Harbor twice. She got us a VIP tour of the Uss Missouri. We had a very informative guide who served on that boat and knows it like the back of his hand. He was quite humorous especially his attempts to speak southern.
On the top of the ship I could see 3 active destroyers docked across the Harbor and all the monuments including the silhouette of the Arizona. It was a very emotional experience.
We got to go in the turrets and engine rooms . Being a nurse Jenn wanted to see the sick bay but that’s one place we couldn’t see. There’s even a bakery and a doughnut shop on that ship. We also went on a WWII submarine and i think life on a ship would be grand compared to that..
I hope Shameless will be proud. But I tried 3 kinds of fish and ate part of one shrimp. I had fresh tuna and actually liked it. I had some other kind of fish at the louai that was very good. Jenn had fresh tuna with sea weed I tasted and that was a no go and so was the shrimp.
I never had to eat any Minnesota pork chops but there was plenty of chances.
They don’t have sweet tea or mash taters over there.

Like I said before it is a beautiful place to visit but expensive, sorry to hear about you getting sick, glad to hear your feeling better.

Thad it's that part of one shrimp that got ya.

Either that or that taste of dried seaweed on tuna.

WELCOME back buddy!!!!   Sorry you got the heebeegeebees off'n something.  How did Jen take it?  Did she run off looking to buy stuff whilst you was layin dyin?
I'm surprised,,,,,,,I LOVE shrimp and I have quite a few GOOD ways to cook it, including on the grill.  I don't particularly like salmon though......Maybe if I was to cook you up some bacon wrapped marinated shrimps.......UUUmmm  GOOD!
So, welcome back to the bestest forum anywheres.  (Psssst....you weren't really gone. )

Scott go on the uss Missouri website and get the heart of the Missouri tour. I have no idea what it cost but it was very informative. By then the tour over the sunken Arizona should be back open. Thanks. I'll give a look over....especially seeing that I'm a Missouri boy and all!

Scott I can get you info if you like but our first trip to Pearl Harbor was guided including shuttle. He pitched us up at the hotel at 6:30 am and we were first in-line for everything. He drops you at each spot and gives you plenty of time to look around. You can tour a lot of the mighty Mo without a guided tour but no turrets or engine room or Broadway. To me that is the highlight of the ship.
