Today was a long day of travel finally arriving at the port at 5:00 pm which was very close to the deadline
for
boarding. We were very lucky - due to a storm, our flight connection in Salt Lake was delayed which would mean
we would miss the ship
leaving Honolulu. Delta let us know a day in advance,
allowing us to rebook an American flight which Cal's mother was taking to Hawaii. We took the last two seats
available on the plane.
From our room a skyscraper in downtown Honolulu at dusk.
Downtown Honolulu in the setting sun - very pretty. We would not see this size building on the rest of our
cruise.
Sunset from the ship looking over the Pacific
The colorful sky over a small bit of land near the port.
The Aloha tower is just beginning to show its red lighting.
New Years dinner on the Pride of America - Virginia Ann, Liz Brooks, Mary Holman, Cal and Melissa Radke.
Not sure what happened to Cal's lei. We had a great New Years dinner in the steak restaurant. So good
we tried to get reservations for other days and could not get in at any time.
