Daily itinerary of our week aboard the Pride of America - 11/10/12

Flew in Thursday night from Newark non-stop on United, checked for seat change before we left so we knew where empty seats close to us were. Flight didn't offer much but we found extra seats and made due. Anticipating great vacation - didn't sleep much but flight went fast.Pre-booked airport transfer online through Hawaii 23 shuttle - great service - very affordable. Stayed two nights at Hyatt Waikiki, used Hyatt points - nice hotel - concierge level - great views.

Day 1 - Rented FLH Harley at Marriott 2 blocks down. Circled Oahu first stopping at Hanauma Bay for a bit of snorkeling. $1 to park bike, short film and we were on our way. Best snorkeling ever. Had lunch at great restaurant - Buzz's Lanikiain near Kailua. Then up 83 to north shore to watch some of surf tourney at Banzai pipeline at Ehukai Beach, very cool.
