Checkout from the hotel is at noon today, but the flight doesn’t leave until after 5:00 PM, so we still have time to do a little more before we leave. We started by sleeping in and not getting up until we were ready (no alarm clock today). We considered eating breakfast on the hotel terrace overlooking the beach, but after all the fancy meals we have had the last two weeks, we decided something simple was all we wanted. We had seen a Burger King while we were walking around the night before, so we went and had plan old ordinary [View Full Entry]

The last day of cruising was pretty short. The ship arrived around 7:00 AM at the port of Honolulu. We had to have our bags packed and in the hallway last night, so there was nothing much to do in that regard today. We had to be out of the cabin by 7:00 so we went to the buffet for our last meal on the ship. As usual we had plenty to eat, except I seem to have finally eaten all the pineapple on the ship - they better restock before the next passengers arrive. The ship sails on tonight, eventually [View Full Entry]

Nun, der Urlaub ist am Dahinsiechen, wir wurde heute morgen mit "tigerenten"-Ergebnissen aus Deutschland geweckt (das war das erste mal im Urlaub, dass sogar ich den Laptop vor allen anderen Dingen anschaltete) und sind inzwischen zurück in Honolulu (und Stephan hat noch seinen iPod bekommen). Zeit also, die letzten 14 Tage zu rekapitulieren: Die schönste Insel: Schwierige Sache - mit Ausnahme von Oahu (was auch nicht zu verachten ist, sobald man den freilich ziemlich großen Honoluluer Speckgürtel verlassen hat) haben alle etwas. Mit einer Pistole auf der Brust würde das Ranking wohl so au [View Full Entry]

Jenny and I slept in which was really nice and got all our stuff together before checking out. We stored our bags at the hostel and then took a bus over to the Ala Moana Center. Did some souvenir shopping and I found a sarong I wanted, a necklace, a surfboard keychain and a hawaiian dress (it’s blue and brown..love it!!!) Had a traditional Hawaiian plate lunch for lunch. BBQ chicken, 2 scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. Was really good and very filling. Didn’t finish it actually. Then we caught the bus over to the Hilton Hawaiian [View Full Entry]

This morning I booked a couple of tours for Thursday and Friday. Doing a Grand Island Circle Tour on Thurs and the Polynesian Cultural Center with a luau and show on Friday. Super excited for that. After that I hopped on a bus to Pearl Harbor. It's about an hour away by bus and I got there at 9:15am and already there were lots of people around. You have to go and pick up a ticket to tell you what time your tour will start. I had to wait about a half an hour for my tour. They have a gift [View Full Entry]

So Jenny (german girl from my hostel room) and I got up early to catch the bus to the North shore. Grabbed some breakfast at the ABC store and then we were on our way. Our first stop was Kualoa ranch where a ton of movies have been filmed. We bought our tickets to do the movie ranch tour. 2 american girls and us were all that was on the tour so it was good. We got to see a bunker that gets used in the tv show Lost and was used in Pearl Harbour. We stopped at a ton of [View Full Entry]

HAWAII (OAHU) Nach all diesem Rummel in den letzten Wochen Australien, freute ich gewiss auf ein paar erholsame Tage Hawaii. Erholsam fing an mit dem ‚Längsten Tag’. Jedenfalls wars der längste Tag den ich bisher in meinem Dasein erleben durfte. Ich flog um Sechs Uhr abends in Sydney los und landete um am exakt demselben Tag am Morgen um Sieben Uhr Fünfzehn in Honolulu. Und das nach einem Neun Stunden Flug. Glücklicherweise flog ich gegen die Nacht und nicht umgekehrt..., ja sonst wäre ich garantiert auf den Felgen gelaufen. So gings vorerst eigentlich noch ganz gut. [View Full Entry]
