Our Anniversaries Trip to Hawaii - Day 13

10/5/2013  Saturday

We are just getting weary.  We have walked many miles, hiked many trails, drove many miles, and viewed so many awe inspiring sights.  Stan and myself are just plain tired.  But being the troopers that we are we got up and returned the care the Thrifty car rental and we rented a care from Enterprise Car rental right at our air terminal for one day. 

Then we went for breakfast and then drove  around the Pearl harbor naval Base because we wanted to get a better feel of the December 7th, 1941 attack.  I was able to take a picture of the Missouri from the other side of the harbor. 


After our self-guided tour of Pearl harbor we drove north on the west side of the island going to Ke'ena Point which is the most northwestern point of Hawaii.  Once there we will have circled the entire island.  We also stopped at Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point and looked around a bit.  After barbers Point we completed our trip to Ke'ena Point.  There we took some more photos and walked around the lava flow that went right into the water.  It was very sharp and ragged and there were some great tide pools.

We returned to our Navy Gateway Hotel room around 4:30 pm.  We were so tired that we ordered pizza and had it delivered.

We will be waking up quite early to get to the air terminal by 7 am in hoped of getting on the only flight out to Travis.  If we don't get selected for the flight we will try for the one flight on Monday and then there are five flights on Tuesday.  We ought to make one of them for sure!

So it looks like we will not be attending our regional conference on Vancouver, WA on Monday.
