The first work trip I stayed six weeks in a nice hotel a block away from Waikiki beach. But I was getting up early every day to go to work. The second time I stayed in a hotel 10 days on Waikiki beach with my wife accompanying. Unfortunately I got sick as a dog. After working all day sick, I went back to the hotel where my wife was wanting to go out and about but all I wanted to do was lay down and shake with fever. Medicine would take the edge off for about an hour then it would come raging back. I felt so bad for her. We eventually did get to go do some things, but the first few days I was laid out.

Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Germany, Honduras, Korea, Spain, Bahrain, etc. - All working trips or port calls. I feel fortunate to have been able to see them, but no experience vacationing.
