I’m still divorced from my cloud-stored photos on this iPad. I don’t like this very much, at all. There are some great photos (I’m sure of it!) on my iPhone and in the cloud but invisible to my iPad. Dang!

We had two different activities out of the normal routine today. We had lunch together with the Visitors’ Center Director and his wife and the other senior couple working with us. We had a great time visiting and getting to know each other a little bit. They are all great people and really fun to work with. I couldn’t ask for better people to be working with on a mission.

This afternoon we had our first volunteer assignment at the Polynesian Cultural Center. The PCC has several dinner venus, a couple that have a short program and others that just have food. When someone buys a ticket to the PCC, one of the choices (which also affects the price) is the dinner venu. The largest venu is the Halle Aloha (halle means house or home in Hawaiian). This used to be the theater for the evening show up until a couple of years ago when the new, much larger theater was completed. The Halle Aloha is the most popular dinner location as well. We were assigned to be ticket takers at the Halle Aloha this evening. 

Dinner starts about 4:45 pm and people will be served until about 6:30 pm. The short program (a kind of preview of the night show) starts about 5:30 for 45 minutes. The meal is cafeteria style with lots and lots of choices, including vegetarian, sugar free, and gluten free options. Prior arrangements can be made for just about any diet, including kosher and hallal. At 6;30 we’re finished taking tickets and can then go into the venu and have a meal. That’s actually a nice benefit because by the time we’ve spent the morning and early afternoon at the Visitors’ Center and then two hours standing and taking tickets, we’re in no mood to come home and have to prepare something to eat.

Life is cozy!
