Day 9 - Honolulu, Hawaii

This morning we went with Tom and Martha to the Hyatt Waikiki Beach and picked up a rental car for a drive around the Island of Oahu.   It took us a little time to get out of the Waikiki area because we relied too much on the Google Maps on Jan’s iPhone!

We drove counter-clock wise around the Island starting on the eastern side.   Traffic was not bad at all so we had a nice leisurely drive.  When we got over to the North Shore, the beaches were closed because of the high waves.  Only the very best surfers were being allowed to go in and not too many of those.  Lunch was at Jamison’s on the Beach where everyone enjoyed a variety of seafood.

We continued the drive around the Island and eventually back to Honolulu.  Tom dropped Fred and Jan off at the ship and they continued on the Hyatt to return the car.  It took them 1.5 hours to go the 5 miles and back because of the traffic!

We sailed out of the Harbor at about 11:00pm.  The lights of Honolulu were very beautiful as we left…Jan got up and went out on the balcony for a look.
