Good day but long so I didn’t get to post last night. Just a short summary. We ate at the Army hotel’s breakfast bar (recommended by the locals and it was a good choice.) Then we got tickets for the Submarine and the Dinner cruise – NOTE – we saved lots by going direct to the Atlantis station on the beach rather than using the hotel service. We also checked on the “island hop” and either it has become unrealistically expensive or the hotel is “making a killing.” I’m going to try booking direct on line. We took the submarine tour (2 hours total). We didn’t see as many “schools of fish” as before but Tom and Carolyn enjoyed it. We did see several unusual large fish and a couple of huge sea turtles. The colors of the fish are just beautiful. After the sub we drove through the “strip”, ate lunch, and drove to the nature preserve, Hauanama Bay. The view is awesome. We got some good pictures including an unusual view of the lighthouse through the gnarled branches of some trees. From there we went to the “Blow hole” scenic point. The blow hole wasn’t working well and one of the guides told us that the waves were coming from the wrong direction. Carolyn got to see it “blow” a couple of times and we will try to stop back by on our way to the North Shore. The beach in this area is volcanic rock, extremely rugged but beautiful. I have heard that this is the area where “From Here to Eternity” was filmed. We had to return to the hotel because we had tickets for the Friday night show at the Hilton. The show is at the “Super pool” was really good with great fireworks afterward. We met a nice couple from London and found out there is a lot of world that we haven’t seen yet. We had a late night dinner (breakfast items) at Denny’s across the street from the hotel and then to bed. We had to be up early this morning for the Floral Festival parade that starts at 9 a.m. not far from our hotel. This is a really short note but it is 5:30 a.m. and I have a lot to do.
