Although we have paid a deposit and the airfare,  there is still a lot to do and plan. So more research on places to see, and must do whilst in Honolulu.  As I said in my previous post we will be there for 6 days and I am coming to the realisation that it may be a bit short,  but it will be an excuse to return.

I have found a tour that I am extremely excited about,  and I will be doing on my own. Will advise you of the details once I have confirmation. We have all placed Pearl Harbor at the top of our itinerary, so I downloaded some tours for our friends to read through.  (A large variety,  as I understand and appreciate we all have different ideas/likes.

It will be interesting to see if we all pick the same tours, not that it matters if we don't.   It will be only the second time that mum and I will be traveling with another couple/trio, the first was a package which included the historic and tourist sites in China.

I like to prepare and be organised, so have created a timetable of the dates we are away, including times and have entered flights etc. I did this for our European holiday and it was extremely helpful especially when I entered reminders of what we needed to do the day before.

It was also handy to see if tours would clash or if we needed to allow more time for delays. Some would probably call this obsessive,  but I'd rather be on the plane or train than miss it. We had a great time in Europe, it wasn't like I had everything timed to minute intervals, we only had one near miss. Should've booked the taxi the night before. Lesson learned.

Bye for now.
