Saturday, May 11, 2013. Sea Day 2/2

We are heading toward Pago Pago, American Samoa today. We were up late last night but today the clocks went back one hour so that helped compensate. It's another cloudy and somewhat overcast day...we've had a few of those lately. Someone mentioned to us today that we will be getting a new captain soon...probably in Sydney. I haven't seen the current captain yet!

It occurred to me that I have spent no time and or money in the casino yet! I just don't think of heading there. Evenings are either shows or trivia or lounges listening to nice music, or interesting conversations with other passengers. It's not hard to find something to do.

I can't remember if I did a post about SPAM or not...this is the canned kind, not the email kind. When we were in Hawaii one evening a festival had traffic all snarled into gridlock. It was because of the SPAM FESTIVAL! Who knew? (If I'm repeating myself, forgive, please.). Hawaii is the number one state in consumption of SPAM in America. It can be found at all convenience stores, groceries, and many restaurants serve entrees with SPAM. SPAM is one of the most requested items at the Hawaii Food Bank. It's 76 years old, was introduced by Hormel Foods in 1937. The SPAM JAM Festival in Waikiki is 11 years old. The Festival offered SPAM delicacies like SPAM burgers, SPAM pancakes, SPAM Tacos, SPAM cheesecakes, ChocoSPAMalicious Popsicles(!), SPAM sushi, and a hundred more. There are also many varieties of SPAM...low-sodium, Classic, Turkey and more. Now you are almost a SPAM expert!
