Day 86 Aloha from Honolulu

Beautiful weather greeted us in Honolulu. This was our shopping port and it was a brilliant day. We had planned to do the shopping thing then some beach time but somehow we ran out of time as we checked out many many shops. We walked along the highway to get to the shopping centre, palm trees on one side and buildings on the other. We had to ask a couple of times for directions and each time we were told that it was not walking distance, and we had to catch a taxi or bus. Its obvious that not many people walk anywhere here or American for that matter. It took us 25 minutes and was a lovely leisurely walk. I found Macy's again and enjoyed browsing again. George found the busiest store in USA, the Apple store. We had some delicious Chinese food for lunch and then headed back to the ship to drop off our new suitcase!
Our second trip out was just visiting the Aloha Tower and some absolutely gorgeous little shops in by the bay, and we found Hooters. So we had to have a drink in there. It should be uncomfortable and squirmish but the girls all seem perfectly happy and intelligent so all is good. For those of who don't know about Hooters, you have to keep abreast of things. See pics of George with a smile on his face.
Now we have 5 days at sea, and then Tahiti. Hopefully have some beach time there as not too many shops there I wouldn't imagine.

We, too, ate at Hooters when we were there on the QE2. For me, the ribs were the attraction. I'm sure that John found other attractions.
