Hawaii - Oahu

We came ashore in Honolulu into a large building with murals painted on the walls. This is where we assembled for our various excursions. (The door back to the ship is on the left by the person in a red shirt.)

I took a bus tour of the east side of Oahu. A photo from the bus as we drove along: 

I Ran Away to Sea - This Time to Hawaii

I ran away to sea; now I'm back.  :-)  I took a fifteen day cruise out of San Francisco, California, to Hawaii and back to San Francisco, on the Grand Princess. I learned a little bit of Hawaiian, a little bit of ukulele, and took many pictures. The cruise was booked months ago during a sale where a cabin with a window was the price of an interior (no window). Just days before we sailed they upgraded me (free) to a cabin with a balcony.

I was on my balcony when we set sail.

The Golden Gate Bridge is ahead. The bit of ship superstructure in the upper left is part of the ship's bridge.  In the lower left are balconies on the deck below mine.
