Diary of One Month in Honolulu/Day 31

From Wikisource
Thirty-first Day.

Aboard ship. It is a perfectly good ship and I'm not a bit seasick, but I feel as if I had been sent away from the table before I had half finished. Here are just a few of the things that we wanted to do and didn't have time to:

Go to Hanauma Bay, near Koko Crater.

See the blow-hole by moonlight.

Tramp to the top of Mount Olympus.

Do the long trail from Tantalus along the ridge back of Manoa Valley and down Palolo.

Visit the Kaau Crater, 1500 feet up in the mountains.

Explore a lot of valleys and gorges where no one ever goes.

Take train to Makua and tramp to Waianae and see caves and barking sands.

Take train to Leilehua and tramp across Waianae Range to Waianae Town.

We were loaded with leis when the boat sailed—carnations, roses, hydrangeas, ilima and violets, and the band played, and when it came to "Aloha Oe," I—came into my stateroom!
