We’re in Honolulu. There are palm trees all around. It must be Christmas. We’ve seen evidence of the snow in Burlington and learned from another passenger of the -40C temperature in Winnipeg.
Past versions of this Christmas cruise managed to fit the four ports in between Christmas day and New Year’s Day. Not so this time. While very little was open in Hilo, being a Sunday, all of the tours were operating. However, all of the most popular tourist attractions in Honolulu are closed on Christmas Day.
We spent some time ashore just walking in the sun looking for a decorated palm tree. This was what we found. 
Diamond Head just fits between the towers.
Later in the afternoon youthful Hula dancers captured hearts.
The late evening departure let us see the Aloha Tower, once Honolulu’s tallest building.
Kaui on Tuesday.
