Back in H-town

Home! Need I say more? After getting off the ship we headed to the airport to go ahead and check our bags so we didn't have to lug them around all day. We rented a car and drove to Waikiki and around Diamond head. It was bonkers with people so we didn't stop much except for coffee. We drove on up the east coast for a beautiful drive stopping at some awesome beaches, bays, and just to look around. Then we drove back to Honolulu and stopped for the last tour of the day at Pearl Harbor. Really glad we did that. They have a 20 minute movie about the events surrounding Dec 7, 1941 and the declaration of war to follow. Then you board a boat which takes you out to the momunent on the water over the USS Arizona. Very somber knowing the history and all those who died, most of whom are still there in those ships.

Back to the aiport for an 8:45 flight to LAX, a layover and another flight to IAH. Arrived about 11:30 this am to rain, rain, and more rain. Then to the car where the bride repacked her bag to go to North Carolina. If she's as tired as I was, going on to another flight was not what you wanted to do. Say a prayer for her the next couple of days. I'll try to post some more pics in the coming days. It was a great trip, a great way to see all the islands. NCL was not the best cruise line in the world but pretty much the only game in town if you want to cruise Hawaii. But its always best to get home, back in H-town. Thanks for reading.
