| Honolulu Port Call | |
 As we come in, at 6:30 am, we see Diamond Head across the way |
 We are greeted by a traditional fire boat spray |
 Another view of the fire boat's welcome |
 Sliding in towards Aloha Tower |
 Aloha Tower in view |
 The Fire Boat is still there |
 The Aloha Tower. Note the time; 6:45 am |
 The prime dock position awaits us. |
| The following activity (next 2 images) did NOT take place this year. (Air Security, thanks to 9/11) | |
 If you look VERY CAREFULLY, you can see some spots in the upper portion of the photo. . . |
 which are flowers drifting down from the helicopter |
 They land on the deck, on the railings . . . |
 And now, the paper streamers are headed towards us as well. ALOHA !! |
 The Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor |
 This view shows the Arizona's bow, as it lies on the harbor floor |
 And a stern view . . . |
 Where the memorial is placed, mid-ships to the Arizona. |
As we come along side the Memorial (Photo by MDV) |
 One of the gun turrets . . . |
 And other remains |
 A recollection of December 7, 1941 |
 An oil slick, from the still seeping oil |
 Looking towards above the remnants of the Arizona toward the USS Missouri, where the Japanese surrender papers were signed. |
 Entertainment at a luau |
 Dancing, fire dancing, and more - complete with poi. (Ugh !!) |
 And of course - Hilo Hattie's - a Hawaiian tradition. |
 Hilo Hattie's apparel are all made "in house." |
