We show you the Diamond Head State Monument hike to the peak, go to the famous Rainbow Drive-In counter service cafe for lunch, hit Shimazo Shaved Ice, and then Bailey's Antiques and Aloha Shirts before we get aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line Seven day Pride of America cruise around the Hawaiian Islands, while we stay in Honolulu Hawaii for a few days at the Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk hotel. We'll tell you about the hike, review the food at the Rainbow Drive-in and decide if the shaved ice is better in Waikiki or on the North Shore. 00:00 teaser 00:24 intro 00:38 free breakfast at the Embassy Suites 01:20 heading to Diamond Head 02:14 the hike 05:41 The View from the top 07:48 info about the hike 09:27 walking to Rainbow Drive-in 10:13 Rainbow Drive-in Food 12:07 Shimazo Shaved Ice 14:41 Bailey's Antiques and Aloha Shirts 15:49 wrap up 16:36 Embassy Suites Pool 17:26 credits
