Diary of One Month in Honolulu/Day 30

From Wikisource
Thirtieth Day.

We sail tomorrow! I don't want to.

Took a last surf-boat ride this morning and then showed Jack how well I can swim. He was more complimentary than he has been for ten years. I guess I was, too, for he really does splendidly on a surf-board. I know he'll wear out the ironing-board when he gets home, practicing for next year. He says he's coming earlier next year so as to have at least two months, because he wants to do the other islands, too, and a lot more on this one.

Spent the afternoon packing and went to the Japanese theater this evening. I am so glad that we didn't miss that, for it was a real experience. Some of the actors are actually excellent, and although it was only pantomime to us, we could gather quite a good idea of the plot—and the audience was as interesting as the stage. Jack liked it immensely.
