The title above describes the reality of travel. We're abut 5500 miles away from Hawaii, with maybe something serious about to happen there, and the location of the Azamara Journey off Greenland means that WiFi is really, really slow. One video can take up to 24 hours to download. Thus, I will for the next few days show that a video is there, but I probably won't be able to link it to You Tube until the ship arrives in Montreal. Then, I can try to reload ten videos each day. That is the limit. The biggest news of the day, for me, is the coming of Lala, now a tropical storm, but projected to increase to hurricane strength, and make landfall over the Big Island of Hawaii tomorrow. I know two hurricanes that badly damaged the island of Kauai, but don't think a hurricane has ever in recorded history made landfall over the other islands. So I asked Google AI if the Big Island of Hawaii has ever been struck by a hurricane: That is correct. In modern recorde...
So how is the world turning? The war with Iran is back. U.S. bombs Iran . Then again, this could be an older video. It's getting confusing about what is really happening there. If you think it's hot where you are, it was up to 125 F at the Kuwait International Airport today. Vostock, Antarctica was down to -99.8 F. My photos and videos of the total solar eclipse was essentially shown yesterday. That opening in the cloud was all we had on the Azamara Journey. Here is a video from You Tube. Or if you're really into this, 3 hours and 40 minutes from NASA.

A recap on total solar eclipses: It’s only by a bit of celestial serendipity that perfect solar eclipses occur at all. The sun is about 865,00...
