After we had passed Waikiki and gotten a bit further on, you could look back to see Diamond Head nestled amongst the diamonds… ~Curtis in Hawai’i! {!-{>

Day 89: Onboard the Pride of America!

Monday, April 2, 2012

It was a very orderly boarding of the Pride of America, but we still had about a three and a half hour wait until our stateroom was ready.  The ship carries 2200-2400 passengers, and all of those staterooms have to be cleaned and refitted between about 10am and 3pm.  We looked around a bit, and […]

Day 88: Our last morning on Oahu!

Monday, April 2, 2012

We had to be out of our room at the Ko Olina by ten, and the boarding at Pier 2 started at noon.  Here is a nice few of the center of the resort. A Black Crowned Night Heron over by the golf course! A short Cattle Egret.  They seem as numerous in Hawai’i as […]

Day 87: Still around Honolulu!

Saturday, March 31, 2012

From the Hawaiian Railway Society we headed down to Downtown and Waikiki! We quickly found the Hard Rock Cafe, and looped the block thrice before locating a parking garage…that is MY chocolate milkshake, BTW… The Hard Rock Wave of Guitars… … . The Dailylife Wife’s lemonade… Our lunch: Nachos! A small part of Waikiki Beach. […]

Day 86: Around Honolulu…

Friday, March 30, 2012

The day started with another nice buffet at the longboard, with the birds… Spotted dove. They don’t hold still much, but I got one a little more in focus! “What?  I don’t remember posing for this stupid sign!” We actually got stopped by a train!  It was a school excursion at the Hawaiian Railway Society! […]

Day 85: The end of the day at last!

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

After the Polynesian Cultural Center we headed on around the Island to get back to the Ko Olina.  Here are a few of the sights we saw! (All photos by the Dailylife Wife: I was driving!) What is that up in the sky? Why, it is people who step off of cliffs and fly like […]

Na Ali’i O Hawaii (King and Queen) Samoa Fiji makes a splash! Tahiti Closeup! Hawaii Spreading flower pedals! An interesting […]

Day 83: Samoa and more!

Monday, March 26, 2012

Each of the “villages” represents a separate set of Islands and their culture.  They have demonstrations and shows. This guy was pretty good, lame jokes and all.  He showed how to start a fire with a stick and a coconut! He also showed how to kill a coconut… This guy showed how to climb a […]
