have to have a minimum of 10 guests on
1:03
the
1:04
on the shuttle for it to operate but
1:06
haven't heard it it's not going to
1:07
happen so we're going to be out front at
1:09
8 20 to go to these spots
1:17
to come back a little bit later and
1:17
probably hit the pool again I've hit the
1:19
pool every day so far but I've been here
1:21
except for the first day because we got
1:22
in kind of a little bit later in the
1:24
afternoon
1:25
but all the full days we've been here
1:26
but in the pool in the hot tubs and in
1:29
these amazing
1:31

1:41
of the islands here we've got Hawaii got
1:43
Maui
1:44
Lanai
1:46
got Oahu where we are right over here
1:50
I believe we're going to be going to
1:53
this too I think this is Honolulu
1:55
the one that
1:57
filmed the Hawaii Five-O at
2:00
but I don't see the statue then of that
2:03
man I can't remember his name but
2:04
there's supposed to be a statuette in
2:06
front maybe I'll show that on the tour
2:08
we're supposed to be going to that area
2:10
as well
2:19
all right we are waiting out here for
2:21
the red but they said it's a red van
2:23
that's going to be pulling up we are
2:24
sitting out in the front over here on
2:27
the corner
2:28
now you went to Pearl Harbor a few years
2:31
ago when you and Dad were here but parts
2:33
of it was closed right yes it was with
2:36
like the museum section where you walk
2:37
up to the actual like Museum Park
2:41
overview where
2:43
the white building is over the ship yeah
2:47
they all looked at all the history and
2:50
the people that I'm not really sure
2:52
because we didn't get to go because it
2:53
was closed but I was anxious to see at
2:55
this time and hopefully it will be
2:59
see all that information that we didn't
3:01
see and plus it was raining the whole
3:03
time we were there so it was not a very
3:04
good experience so hopefully this time
3:06

3:12
a little warm but no humidity like

Florida has and there's a really really
3:16

7:24
Pearl Harbor tours
7:35
hello everybody I don't know if you're
7:35
gonna do waikikia
7:37
all the young children buy homes But
7:39
ultimately what happens here often is we
7:41
have the family unit living those
7:45
parents your grandparents will take
7:46
extension down their home
7:49
young children will live right now take
7:51
care of them and get older
7:54
very Asian coffee but you've got 50 of
7:56
our population
7:58

8:09
which actually includes eight primary
8:09
items now we only argue about the far
8:12
larger ones the big on the boy
8:15
Molly Oahu and Kauai

8:20
here very short man you have the on Oak
8:22
Maui stuck in lodges 700 square miles
8:25
inside population
8:28
450 dollars
8:37
population 1 million people and there's
8:37
a height of Kauai North West behind us
8:39
fourth largest and 550 square miles
8:42
inside the population now at about

docked around four dollars
8:56
there
9:10
nobody wanted a car and you didn't do
9:10

the United States all right whether in
10:03
public for eight future a year

and then became a third target of the
10:08
United States until the year
10:11
1959 when Hawaii became the
10:14
50th state farm
10:17
eight columns on each side he represent
10:20
eight major islands he throws cars are
10:22
supposed to like palm trees the remote
10:25
that surrounded building to represent
10:27
the Pacific Ocean that is where our
10:29
state legislature meets yes
10:32
um State uh government buildings to our
10:35
right seeing coffee buildings to our
10:37
left Federal buildings are looking
10:39
closer to the Waterfront there
10:57
that's a turtle playing but you're gonna
10:57
see a another 1800 vintage building
11:00
known as Washington Place which was the
11:02
first the last Monica the Hawaiian
11:05
Kingdom Queen believe
11:09
today about in the Washington Place you
11:11
are right here is the residence of the
11:15
governor of the state of Hawaii
11:17
after Washington Place of course a
11:20
fiscal page shirt built in Hawaii in the
11:22
1860s called Saint Andrews Cathedral and
11:26
both elements are used to built that
11:27
Cathedral ship over from England all
11:30
right first stop getting out here
11:32
there's also
11:34
another tour bus also exiting here
11:42
so original Hawaii Five-O show used that
11:42
one yes and this is the one they use for
11:45
the new show
11:51
and watched every episode of the new one
11:51
yeah
11:58
blowing up
11:58
so this building you can see in the new
12:00
shop yes
12:05
but
12:05
the Wi-Fi those good connectives and you
12:09
know all that
12:37
I feel good I hear the sun's out
12:40
the building also sure you want me to
12:44
check one of you from here where you got
12:45
the whole building in it
12:51
last night we were at the luau and there
12:51
was a couple there that were celebrating
12:53
their 50th Anniversary at the luau the
12:55
day of
12:56
and the host said oh we have a Hawaii
12:59
5-0
13:00
because 50 years I thought it was kind
13:03
of cute
13:04
this was in the using the original
13:05
Hawaii Five though they're located right
13:07
across from the sculpture over there
13:10
downtown Honolulu
13:17
my first time in downtown Honolulu
13:17
a second
13:19
did you see any of this when four years
13:20
ago when you were here yeah I didn't
13:22
come over here
13:24
this close to it
13:26
but I saw it because I saw the whole
13:28
area
13:29
so I'm thinking that like he said if we
13:34
kept going straight instead of trying to
13:36
get up in this area
13:39
we wouldn't buy QT
13:44
I wonder what that is like a church or a
13:44
mission yeah
13:56
gazebo over there
13:56
corner
14:04
was Hawaii Five-0 the one that was Book
14:04
Em Dana
14:05
Book Em Dana that was Hawaii Five not
14:07
Dragnet
14:09
or was it drag nut
14:12
I think it was a Wi-Fi mode
14:15
I'm not really sure
14:17
one of us I get the two confused a lot
14:25
of rainbows on them
14:25
all right heading back on
14:28
the back of the bus
14:31
and that church is built on a 14
14:34
000 Coral blocks they took an upstairs
14:37
there in the Hawaiian language
14:47
no City Hall called Honolulu polish it's
14:47
been strengthened the bases were not on
14:50
high alert most everyone was just waking
14:53
up that morning no one was prepared to
14:57
do that we parked on what you got the
14:59
back situation let you know this is
15:01
what's allowed in what's not allowed
15:04
right behind that is he loading up there
15:08
the variable code you want to be at the
15:10
front of that theater at 11 30 in 15
15:13
minutes before your program time you see
15:16
a park ranger there kill the Ranger
15:18
ticket you put you in the ticket line 11
15:20
45 you put your through theater on the
15:23
30 Bowl it'll take you out a little more
15:25
there's a boat that's going to take us
15:27
across you can see the boat
15:29
pulling back over to load people on to
15:32
go over there
17:03
numbers
18:15
okay you hear what she said
18:15
bye all right heading across and take
18:19
the boat
18:24
another guy that's driving the shuttle
18:24
for us he was saying sometimes it gets
18:26
so windy out here that they later in the
18:28
day
18:32
he won't be able to take this so I said
18:32
if you get a chance to just get on and
18:34
get on or slated time was for 11 45 but
18:37
there was standby so we just got in the
18:39
standby line
18:41
and have to wait for the 11 45
18:42
reservation that is right now 1101 it'll
18:45
be back
18:46
at the shuttle at 12 45.
20:43
foreign
24:30
okay I went over and back one thing I'm
24:30
noticing is the two boats that take you
24:31
over there
24:33
where they left from they arrived back
24:35
to a different spot I don't think
24:36
they're letting anybody else over they
24:38
said there's some high winds like the
24:40
boats are done for today I think we got
24:41
them on the last boat and returned on
24:43
the last boat so it's a good thing we
24:45
did standby because I don't think we
24:46
would have got on the boat if we would
24:48
have waited for our appointment you're
24:49
right moved it we went early and got in
24:52
that quickly
24:58
I don't know I just look at me it kind
24:58
of looks like that size it probably
25:00
isn't but it looks like I'm gonna deal
25:02
with that because
25:26
so the line that's over here now is just
25:26
to watch a movie there's a line here for
25:28
the movie but all the boats the lines
25:31
for the boats which run adjacent to them
25:33
which usually run down this side are not
25:37
active at the moment because of the
25:46
good thing that we got in the standby
25:46
line it wouldn't we wouldn't have been
25:47
over there not to get hydrated here with
25:49
some tropical mango Vitamin Water
25:54
good
26:00
I've had a lot of these vitamin waters
26:00
almost over a tropical mango wonder if
26:02
that's just they have it stocked in that
26:03
straw because we're in Hawaii
26:05
Maybe
26:11
they're home too
26:11
I'm gonna pretend though there's a hot
26:13
it's a Hawaii exclusive okay come on
26:15
back over to the shuttle Bob and I were
26:17
noticing that this bird kind of
26:19
resembles a roadrunner a little bit
26:26
it's a smaller bird
26:26
we're making our way back over
26:29
to the shuttle
26:59
about the variable look out the memorial
26:59
this morning and this linear we're
27:01
driving on to but he now known as Ford
27:03
Island
27:04
with a really game boat
27:11
you're going to go through that entrance
27:11
gate and walk straight to the ship make
27:14
a left turn go about 50 yards look to
27:17
your right right here at the base of the
27:19
ship there is the little sculpture here
27:21
I believe this is called unconditional
27:23
surrender because a few of these around
27:25
the US usually a lot bigger than this
27:27
but there is a regular size you know
27:29
human size version of it here as well at
27:32
the base of the ship
27:34
that's titled something different
27:36
so as The Story Goes this might be
27:38
something different but I always heard
27:40
the Sailor didn't have permission to
27:43
kiss the woman she was very upset if
27:45
it's the same one it looks like the same
27:46
couple
27:47
that was taken
27:49
it ended up being a very iconic photo
27:52
and now legendary sculpture is all over
27:54
the place
27:58
I think I got the story right or close
27:58
to it
28:11
experience
28:20
this desk
28:20
is now
28:22
in a different spot the guy was just how
28:25
we're doing a guided tour
28:35
of the documents that are assigned right
28:36
desk the desk was right here
29:24
we're levels of the ship now the mess
29:24
hall area
29:41
they have the old Pepsi machine and it
29:41
looks like they have some prices from
29:43
what the prices were like back then 10
29:44
cents five cents
29:46
a banana split for 35 cents over there
29:50
popcorn 10 cents down there
29:53
we have been
29:55
some Cracker Jacks over there Planters
29:57
peanuts the Baby Ruth and Bloom is a
30:00
little bit different modern day than it
30:02
was then
30:03
got the butter finger
30:05
Tootsie Roll Hershey's Lifesavers the
30:09
library
30:11
Cruise Library
30:41
that guy was telling you about Hawaii
30:41
Five-O
30:43
characters in a new show
30:55
son of Michael Kane
30:55
that's interesting Under Siege was
30:57
filmed at a different ship but they used
31:00
the Missouri on the front of the DVD
31:03
it's a vegetable preparation room
31:06
Spud Locker also known as
31:09
the cream of the cup the crop there
31:16
food to them
31:16
oh that's uh suit barrels I would think
31:19
look at that look at the ladles
31:22
you can kind of typewriters
31:28
when I was
31:28
secretary
31:30
and that's kind of adding machine we had
31:32
too
31:43
look at how many people came down this
31:43
little conveyor belt here
31:48
oh here's the trace
31:51
silverware
31:52
and the dinner menu what was going to be
31:54
on the menu for the day
32:05
creating eight here's the bread where
32:05
the bread's cooked probably got really
32:07
hot in here
32:21
even smells like they got to smell it
32:21
they got the smell kicking in here where
32:23
it smells like breads being cooked
32:28
imagine how hot it would have got in
32:28
here pretty warm I would think
32:31
the bowels of the ship with all those
32:32
ovens on yeah
32:39
there was one man
32:39
one or two or three men and maybe just
32:41
made three
32:42
it was the cooks don't miss the donut
32:46
shop
32:56
even smells like donuts in here they did
32:56
a good job with this place yeah
33:48
1600 illicit crew
33:48
