By the time we woke on Sunday morning we had already docked in Honolulu. We had ordered breakfast to our cabin since we had an earlier tour booked.
In Honolulu everyone had to leave the ship regardless of whether they had planned on going ashore or not, crew included. This was to go through immigration clearance. They were well organized from the ship’s perspective as well as from the USA immigration. Those who weren’t staying on shore during the day were notified when last call was since there wasn’t really anywhere to sit and wait until everyone was cleared with immigration before they could reboard. We cleared quickly and got on a coach for a 4+ hour tour of the south and east shores.
The bus driver took us up to Diamond Head where we were in the middle of the crater!
From Here to Eternity. It has also been featured in movies like 50 First Dates and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Come back next week when I’m able to finish our tour!
