The Captain’s Travels: Oahu – Day 6 – Journey to Atlantis!

(This post originally appeared on Facebook before I started this blog.) Captain’s Log, Day 6 Found an alternate portal to the world below. Observed the natives without interfering. Star Fleet would be proud. Traveled north and swam with more domesticated natives. Private Nick was wounded in battle when the local gods sent him tumbling, including injuries not noticed until later. Fortunately,

Captain’s Log, Day 5 (This entry appears to have been torn out.) Note from the future: Similar to Day 2 when I didn’t write much, apparently I didn’t write anything for this day’s adventuring, so this will all be from memory.

The vacation began uneventfully enough, with only minor difficulty in regrouping at the airport when we all finally arrived on our respective flights. We acquired our rental car (which Jeremy volunteered to drive
