Arrival in Honolulu


The MV Explorer will be pulling into the island of Oahu and docking in Honolulu in just about seven hours. Our crossing of the Pacific has gone great so far, but I don't think anyone will be complaining about getting off the ship for a few days after over a week at sea.

Oahu, known as "The Gathering Place" to Hawaiians, is the third largest of the Hawaiian islands and the most populated. The island is home to Honolulu, the state capital and Hawaii's largest city, as well as Pearl Harbor. I know everyone is looking forward to returning to U.S. soil, even if it's only for two days!
