Hawai'i Day 8

Saturday, 20th of August

We checked out of the cruise ship today. Because we wanted to go to Pearl Harbor and we have heard from others that they only allow X number of people per day we wanted to make sure we were able to go we decided to go with a tour from the ship. It was a somber experience to walk through the museum and the memorial to those who were lost. In addition to Pearl Harbor tour we also got a city tour. We drove around the enitre city and learned about some of the rich history of the land. After the tour we still had a few hours before we had to be back at the airport to meet my mom who went to visit a friend. So we decided to go over to Waikiki and look around. We walked on the beach and went to the international marketplace. We learned that Taco Bell/Pizza Hut and Taxi's cost a lot in this town. We still had fun walking around and looking at the different shops.
Paul:Exploring the city of Waikiki with Cyndi was a lot of fun. Just looking around the shops and enjoying each others company.

Cyndi: I am not sure what my favorite part of the day was I enjoyed the history and being able to go to Pearl Harbor. I also liked going to the beach at Waikiki.

It's insane how much more fast food costs over there. It was like 5 bucks for a big mac. But you can get pineapples with ANYTHING. It was cool to go to a taco bell and get a bean burrito with a side of pineapple.

DID YOU KNOW: Outside of the U.S. the Big Mac is known as a McRoyal Burger? I got them when I was in Israel (for nearly 6 bucks!)
