Going to the Hawaii premiere of Maiden, the movie, and meeting Wendy Tuck (left), Amalia Infante (right) and the rest of the Maiden crew...totally worth delaying departure for!!!!
We've been running into one delay after another in leaving Honolulu, and have also been rewarded with some pretty amazing opportunities. One of the delays was fighting with insurance nonsense last week which meant we missed the Maiden coming in to Honolulu as we were on the phone, having finally reached a live human after holding for ages. Absolutely maddening to be able to hear the boat coming in just down the dock from us and not being able to go out and greet them.
One of the fabulous rewards of our delays has been being just down the dock from Maiden, meeting the Maiden 2019 crew, touring the boat, and tonight we got to go to the Hawaii premiere of the movie!!
For more info on the current Maiden crew, on a 2 year round the world tour and their mission to "Empower/teach/mentor girls and/or promote, facilitate, lobby for or provide solutions which enable the education of girls not currently afforded that basic human right" check out https://www.themaidenfactor.org

As for us, we'll keep you posted.
