an optometrist. The term eye doctor refers generally to an ophthalmologist, but is also used informally (and imprecisely) in referring to an optometrist. An ophthalmologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the eye.
Whale Watching in Hawai`i. Humpback whales visit Hawaiian waters each year from November to May with the peak of the season being from January to March. There are a variety of ways in which you can catch a glimpse of Hawaiâiâs humpback whales. Boat tours and whale watching cruises have become increasingly popular.
Whale watching tours are offered all along the New England coast (see below) typically from May through October. Most take 3-4 hours, heading out to the major whale feeding grounds of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (off Massachusetts), Jeffreys Ledge, or the Gulf of Maine, depending on the port. Be sure to bring a camera, sunscreen and extra clothes since even on hot days the breezes out at sea can be cold.
