June 18, 1991: Hawaii



Our plane left at 7:30 a.m., then stopped in Chicago and then San Francisco before heading to Oahu, Hawaii.     There was a 6 hour time difference between Hawaii and Michigan.   Our tour guide's name was Pat.  He was Hawaiian.   He told us that ABC stores are on every corner in Waikiki.   Waikiki means 'spurting water'.   Honolulu means 'fair heaven'.     Oahu was first settled 1,000 years ago by the Marquesans.  Kamehameha took Oahu in 1795 and the traders discovered that Honolulu had the largest deepwater harbor in the islands.     Three million visitors visit Honolulu and 400,000 people lived in Honolulu.      I met a nice couple from Ohio, Lillie and Paul Cantrell.   

We had a picture taken with our leis at the airport.     We stayed at the Quality Inn Waikiki on Paoakalani.   We went to the Hard Rock Cafe on Kuhio Ave.      Then, we walked down the road through all of the shops.
