Day 9 - Hilo .. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving


We arrived at Hilo at 9 AM, 1 hour earlier than scheduled.  It was a beautiful day.  They rolled many decorations for Canadian Thanksgiving!

There were Canadian Flags all around the ship.  On staircases, in bars and in the common areas.


Here is the dinner menu in the main dining room
In the Princess Theatre the Princess World Orchestra performed an around the world tribute.  There were 11 excellent musicians and two singers.  They played sounds from England: Hey Judy; Australia: I Still Call Australia Home; US: Uptown Funk, and when it came time for Canada:  Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.  It was a beautiful arrangement.


A wonderful concert and a great way to end a glorious day!
