Hawaii





Day 7 Sunday We arrived in Honolulu last night after 5 days at sea. The crossing was uneventful. I’ve resumed my Spanish lessons and Eiko is busy with her knitting. The ship is not crowded and there are only about 175 World Cruisers. Our first day in port, we took a trip to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. Eiko found books at the Shirokiya department store. Liberty House has become Macys and a Nordstrom was added to a shopping center which easily surpasses Rodeo Drive in terms of world brands. The scene is very much the same… many Japanese tourists. The skyline has become more crowded with high rise apartments. Th weather is beautiful and the green volcanic mountains are gorgeous. Tonight we head off to French Polynesia. First stop, Moorea……then Papeete. It is 5 days of sailing.
