Oahu - Honolulu, Hawaii September 26th
We have had some problems accesing funds from our travel card, so our first stop today was the Bank of Hawaii to sort it out. Hmm what a fun day this is for us, we had a $10,000 prepaid travel card we purchased from ANZ earlier in the year, it came from the bank to our safe at home, and we had not even opened the envelope till we were ready to leave in August, cut a long story short, after ringing ANZ (at our expense) our card had been compromised to the tune of $9800.00 and the deductions went back to June, while the card was still in our safe !!! Lots of stress today, as the bank would not give us any information, so the day was spent chasing around for paperwork to send to the bank. A delightful girl on board the ship give us $30 internet credit to enable us to print all the pages (there were many of them) then another random act of kindness from Anastasia at Fedex who spent a very long time helping us to get all this information to the bank. One place wanted $55.00 to fax it to the bank, this delightful young lady did all the hard work, as my brain was not functioning at all and charged us $7.50 ! We spent till 3pm trying to sort this s**t out. I cannot tell you how pi$$ed we are with ANZ, as this MUST be an inside job, still no joy for us, they dont give a damn !
Time to regroup and move on...we are supposed to be having the time of our lives, so lets get on with it ! We had arranged with the cruise critics and our other mates to meet at Dukes at 4.00 so we did, it was a great afternoon, and a magic sunset. Bob got us 3 girls a gorgeous fresh frangippani lei, what a honey he is !
Shock number 2 floored me also, Kim told us that Frank and Norm had to go home, as Frank had an infection in his leg, I am shattered, as they are such awesome guys, and an integral part of our trivia team, not to mention a HUGE part of our cruise critics and facebook groups. We are so sorry for them, we will miss them so much. Get better soon Frank !!!
After our get together we went to the International Market Place and got a case to replace Warrens that got broken coming on the ship, got a bargain there huge case $50 !
Back home for our final dinner with our new friends and then on to party the night away, and that we did !!
What a day ! I had so much planned for today, how quickly that changed, oh well, I can shop anytime, just not in Honolulu !
Tomorrow our day with Super Driver !!
