After four days without seeing any land we pulled into the Port of Honolulu this morning around 6 a.m.
By 7 a.m., the sun was shining and a beautiful double rainbow could be seen right outside our cabin. We could see both ends touching the water. It was absolutely breathtaking! (None of these pictures have been enhanced….this is truly how it looked).
We left the ship before the Captain made his announcement that we could go ashore this morning. The gangways were open and everyone appeared to be in place, just no announcement. We walked a block to Enterprise, picked up our rental car, and headed to Pearl Harbor. The Arizona Memorial was pretty amazing.

Oil could be seen still seeping up from the ship. With the sun shining on the oil, the pictures I took look like modern art (again, no enhancement needed).
We then
headed to the north part of the island which is known for its surfing. We kept driving and before we knew it, we had
driven around the entire island. We
saved the best for last and ended up stopping at the Haauma Bay Preserve on the
south tip of the island. The views were spectacular. If we
had it to do over again, we would probably go there and snorkel all day!
On the way
back to the ship, we drove past Diamond Head, but chose to not stop.
We don’t
leave until 11 p.m. tonight! I hope it
doesn’t wake me up…..another busy day tomorrow in Maui!
