Day 2: A day on Oahu (Honolulu)

HONOLULU CITY TOUR & USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL
Today we started out early @ 6:30 am with a 5 hour tour of Honolulu on E NOA Tours which included:
  1. USS Arizona Memorial.
  2. Punchbowl National Cemetery/ casualties from the attack on Pearl Harbor are the first to be buried here.
  3. Laloni Palace/ this is the only palace of royalty on US soil.
  4. Hawaii State Capital & Supreme Court.
  5. King Kamehameha statue
  6. Civic Center
SEA LIFE PARK (DOLPHIN SWIM)
Next we headed out to Sea life park were we spent the afternoon playing with dolphins, Miranda was the only one that did not know about this as it was her Xmas gift we told her we were going swimming @ the beach when we got there she kept questioning why we had to pay to swim, you should have seen the look on her face when she found out what kind of swimming she was going to do. Altha,Julia & Yvonne had a close encounter with a Dolphin where they got a hand shake,kiss & fed the dolphin. Meanwhile Troy & Miranda were swimming with the Dolphins (Bugs & Maui) were they were lifted out of the water by 2 dolphins then pushed across the pool by the heels of there feet. I have been busy snapping pictures. We then hopped on a Hawaiian Airlines plane Flight #596 (Boeing 717) for a short flight to Maui.
