Welcome to Our 2007, 15 Day Hawaiian Cruise Report.

Join Mary Nelle & Jack Figart and Virginia & Jerry Brewer as we sail aboard the Diamond Princess from Los Angeles to Hawaii on November 18, 2007, returning on December 3. We had 5 days at sea chasing sunsets on the way to Hawaii and 5 more days at sea on our return. Our ports of call and principle activities were:

1. Hilo, on the big island of Hawaii. Here we explored Kilauea, the world's most active volcano.
2. Kona, also on the big island of Hawaii, where we boarded the Atlantis Submarine for an under sea adventure.
3. Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. The Brewers toured the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor while the Figarts (who had toured the memorial on a previous visit) rented a car and did a self guided tour of the island.
4. Nawiliwili, on the island of Kauai. We visited a tropical garden where we feasted on roast pig at a luaua while musicians and hula dancers performed on stage. We also took part in a ceremony to renew our wedding vows (guess the old ones were starting to wear out).
5. Lahaina, on the island of Maui, where we visited the Maui Ocean Center and a tropical plantation.
6. Ensenada, Mexico, where we caught a tour bus to "la Bufadora", a natural blow hole on the Pacific coast about 25 minutes south of the city.
7. Los Angeles, California, where we disembarked and caught our flight home.
