After 6 days at sea, we docked in Hawaii. That was yesterday January 15th. We took an excursion to Pearl Harbor as did almost everyone on the ship. Actually, there was a much larger Carnival ship in port at the same time. Pearl Harbor was jammed with people. And it has changed dramatically from the first time we were there together. The National Park Service runs it. The US Navy used to have some control. I suppose it got too big for them. Now it is very much commercial. Progress. Not!
Still the respect is for the sailors who lost their lives especially on the Arizona.
Back on the ship we went for a late lunch. We shared a hotdog and onion rings. A hotdog at Pearl Harbor was $8. It was free on the ship.
In the evening we returned to the naughty table as usual and were joined by some friends. Mike and Michelle are from Canada (Mike is French Canadian). When I first met Mike, he switched to French, and I responded correctly in French. Amazing! And Barbara and Nace from California. Nace was a judge. Barbara is into music.
