I think that planning and anticipating a trip is almost as much fun as the trip itself. We started planning this trip about a year ago. After finding and booking our cruise with Princess Cruises, we began trying to book our airline flights on American Airlines.
Because of American's reservation system limitations, business class reservations proved quite a challenge. Nevertheless, we were able to complete our reservations using Advantage Miles, some of which we had to purchase.
Our first stop was Honolulu and a brief visit to Pearl Harbor and the Arizona . The other ships including the Missouri and a submarine helped us remember that tragic day in 1941. The Best Western Plaza was perfectly located for our overnight stay. A brief discussion with some locals gave an indication of that the job market in Hawaii was not great for tourist - the largest source of jobs for them.
An afternoon flight to Osaka, Japan, resulted in loss of a day as we crossed the International Date Line.
More late -- Glyn
