1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,600
What's up y'all?

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,240
Thanks for joining the Travel Tales and Talk podcast with Derek and Makayla.

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,240
I'm Derek.

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,380
I'm Makayla.

5
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:21,160
Thanks for listening and enjoy the show.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,160
What's up y'all?

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,160
How y'all doing today?

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,640
We're back with another episode and we're on our wacky adventures once again, except

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:35,400
this time I couldn't go so I'm kind of disappointed because I've always wanted to visit this place.

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,720
So Makayla, why are you in London Rose in Hawaii?

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,720
In Hawaii.

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Hawaii, that's right.

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Hawaii.

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,920
That's how you pronounce it.

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,920
Yes.

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,920
Yes.

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,240
We went to Hawaii to visit a good friend, a childhood friend actually.

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,240
And her son.

19
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,240
My nephew.

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,120
He's a big boy.

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840
He's a big boy.

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:08,240
So while you were there, you guys toured the entire island or on one specific island?

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,040
What did you guys do?

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,080
We stayed on Oahu.

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440
The big, I think that's the big island.

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Okay.

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,440
That's the one with Honolulu, right?

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,440
Okay.

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Yes, but first we ended up, we actually left Lexington and we flew to LA for a few days

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,800
first.

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:36,680
So, because that flight, oh my goodness, the flight to Lexington to Hawaii is bananas.

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,360
I think it was like almost 12 hours or something like that.

33
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,880
I don't know, but I just thought it would be a great idea to break up the trip.

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,880
12 hours?

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,880
Good.

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:56,440
So we got that flight, Lexington to Los Angeles, but we had to lay over in Atlanta.

37
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,440
You guys went to Atlanta?

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,440
Oh yeah.

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,920
So we had to fly to the east to go west.

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920
I thought you went to Dallas or something.

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,920
No.

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Flew straight to Atlanta.

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,920
So you went in reverse.

44
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,560
Sure did.

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,000
And stayed a couple of days in LA so London Rose could visit the Super Nintendo World.

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,200
She wanted to do the Mario, live her best Super Mario World life.

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,200
You know what?

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,280
We should have her on the show to talk about that adventure.

49
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,080
I didn't even know that was a thing until you guys went out there.

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Oh man, yeah.

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Because it was nice.

52
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,600
We got the, I paid the extra money so we can go an hour early.

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,600
You're giving too much.

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,600
We can talk about that later.

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Okay.

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
That's another episode.

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,600
I'll give it away.

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,600
All right, fine.

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:49,080
So after our three days in Los Angeles, we flew to Hawaii.

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,760
That flight you guys from LA to Honolulu was five hours.

61
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,280
That was a five hour flight.

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,760
It seems so much closer on the map.

63
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,840
Yeah, when you look at the map you think, oh it's going to be like two hours.

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,840
Like an hour flight.

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Man, that was like five hours.

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Yes.

67
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,240
People don't understand how vast the ocean is.

68
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,360
But yeah, looking on a map you would think two hours, maybe an hour and a half.

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,080
This shows you how these maps are tweaked.

70
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,680
But yeah, five hours from LA to Hawaii.

71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Hawaii, yep.

72
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,440
So you know it was rough because I don't mess around with them airplane bathrooms.

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,880
So liquids was at a strict minimum.

74
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,360
So you had to evacuate the system before you left.

75
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,040
Man, I had to hold it like, I'm not going in there.

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,680
So yeah, it was good.

77
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,040
The flight was easy.

78
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,040
We made it there and you know your time kind of goes back.

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,040
I forgot the difference.

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,880
I know from Lexington to LA it's a three hour difference.

81
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800
So they're ahead of LA?

82
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,240
No, they're behind.

83
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,480
They're behind, okay.

84
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,760
So they're in a totally different time zone than California.

85
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,120
So it's California specific, Pacific time zone.

86
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,600
So what's their time zone?

87
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,600
I don't remember.

88
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,600
We gotta look that up.

89
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,600
That's a good question.

90
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,560
I feel so unprepared, y'all.

91
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,560
My apologies.

92
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,320
No, that's something you don't think about.

93
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:18,720
I assumed that they would be on the same time as LA.

94
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,000
But I'm guessing because it's a five hour difference, they have to be on something totally

95
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
different.

96
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,680
Because I don't think they adjust daylight saving time.

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Okay, so I'm looking at my clock right now and it is 1.41 in Lexington.

98
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,480
And right now it is 7.41 in Honolulu.

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,560
So what was that, six hour difference?

100
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Something like that.

101
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Wow.

102
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,560
All right, y'all.

103
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:43,560
So y'all get an idea.

104
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Get an idea of what time it is in Hawaii at this time.

105
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,360
So the time that we landed in Hawaii, my friend picked us up from the airport and we went

106
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,920
straight to the military base so that I could buy tickets to Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian

107
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Center and our passes to cage dive with sharks.

108
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Now why go to the military base, you ask?

109
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Yeah.

110
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,600
Because it was cheaper.

111
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520
But do you have to be a member of the military?

112
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Yeah, you gotta be a military.

113
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:24,720
So even though I'm a child of a veteran, and my friend is too, but she's actually still

114
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,720
active duty.

115
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:33,400
So she was able to go in, use her card and get everything for me and save me a little

116
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,400
money.

117
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,680
So if you do have that perk, if you're in Hawaii and you have a friend that's in the

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,280
military, ask them to go on base and get the tickets for you.

119
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,800
So let me ask you this question.

120
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,400
You being a child of a veteran, how could you take advantage of that?

121
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,320
I can't because I'm an adult.

122
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Really?

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,960
I thought they give us benefits because you are a child.

124
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,760
I don't have a military card anymore.

125
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,840
I don't have an ID card.

126
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,240
So you need that ID card to make your purchases.

127
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,240
Okay, gotcha.

128
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Thanks for clearing it up for me.

129
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
You are welcome, sir.

130
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,200
So after we got those passes, then we went to school to pick up her son.

131
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,400
And then from there, we went to a nearby beach, a public beach.

132
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,080
Shall we surf?

133
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,120
We didn't do anything because we weren't prepared.

134
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,440
All our swimsuits and everything were packed up and it was literally just-

135
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Spare it a moment?

136
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,160
Yeah, just so we could just see the water.

137
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,160
Gotcha, gotcha.

138
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,120
And then we were hungry, time to eat, and we need to get checked into our hotel.

139
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,200
And so we actually stayed that night at the hotel in the military base.

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560
So the hotel, please forgive me, guys.

141
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,720
I don't remember the name, but it was actually the base housing for some of the-

142
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,720
The base housing.

143
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,680
Yeah, that they converted to a hotel.

144
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,600
So our hotel room used to be someone's actual-

145
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,600
Housing.

146
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,600
Housing.

147
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,400
So we had a full living room, a full kitchen, two full bedrooms.

148
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,880
That's a great idea.

149
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,760
And I think it was one or two bathrooms.

150
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,920
I can't remember.

151
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,000
That's a great idea about whoever thought of that, to turn those into homewood suites

152
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
or something.

153
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Yeah, there was a washer and dryer.

154
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,280
I mean, it was actual base housing.

155
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Yeah, very inexpensive as well.

156
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800
That is fantastic.

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,400
So that was nice.

158
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,440
So we stayed there the night, and so that was day one.

159
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Wait, you said you guys got something to eat.

160
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,240
What you eat?

161
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,240
Please don't tell me that.

162
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,240
What did we eat?

163
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,520
I hope it was something local to Hawaii.

164
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Oh, man.

165
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,280
I do not remember the name of the restaurant, but it was a local restaurant.

166
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,280
Okay, sweet.

167
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,840
And we ended up getting something like, I think it was like pancakes or something.

168
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Hey, hey.

169
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Your girl ain't that brave when it comes to food.

170
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,240
You know how we do when we're in a place.

171
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,120
You know Hawaii has a special, they do things differently with their food.

172
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,720
So you should partake in that.

173
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,560
They do, at that exact moment.

174
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,560
You didn't want to.

175
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,560
In time, on purpose.

176
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Your girl wasn't feeling brave.

177
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,560
Okay.

178
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Just give me some Mickey D's.

179
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,680
I was actually looking for a Pizza Hut, but you know, I couldn't find it.

180
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,280
It wasn't Pizza Friday though, was it?

181
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,280
I don't remember.

182
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,280
You played too much.

183
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,280
All right, just day one.

184
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,280
That was day one.

185
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,120
All right, now we're heading to day two.

186
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,200
So day two was time to go to the Polynesian Culture Center.

187
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,160
And you told me about this, and I didn't know this until I started looking it up, but Hawaii

188
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,120
is a part of the Polynesian island chain.

189
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,320
So it used to be a Polynesian nation of its own, then the United States annexed it.

190
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:53,680
So but anyway, at the Polynesian Center, they educate you on the six different Polynesian

191
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:54,680
island nations.

192
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:59,000
Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti.

193
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920
And this is where they had the Summer Olympics for surfing.

194
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,800
They were in Tahiti, which is awesome.

195
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Nice.

196
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,800
Yep.

197
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,800
And then give me that one one more time.

198
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,800
Anatoa?

199
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,800
What was it?

200
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Aotearoa?

201
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,800
Anatoa?

202
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,800
I think is what they pronounce it.

203
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Aotearoa?

204
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Oh, man.

205
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,320
No, we're screwing it up.

206
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,120
It's A-O-T-E-A-R-O-A.

207
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:30,040
So this at the Polynesian Center, you experienced they'll condense a thousand years of history

208
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,320
into this one place where you learn about the six different island nations.

209
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,920
Now, each one is different.

210
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,680
You may think they're all the same, but they're all different.

211
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:43,440
And when they bring you to the Hawaiian portion of this, you're going to play ancient games,

212
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,840
you're going to dance, and you're going to learn how to fish without a net.

213
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,320
I would love to learn how to do that.

214
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,440
Do they use the spear thing?

215
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,520
Did you actually see these people perform this?

216
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Oh my goodness.

217
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,680
I was hoping he wouldn't ask me.

218
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:57,680
Because I'm curious.

219
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,360
I want to know because this sounds very interesting.

220
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:06,560
Well, I'll tell you what, I mismanaged my time at the Polynesian Culture Center.

221
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:13,080
First of all, you need to spend, if you can spend more than one day, like two to three

222
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,520
days there, you're golden.

223
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,720
At least two.

224
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,240
I didn't.

225
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,320
Even though our ticket was good for two days, we only went one.

226
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,280
And then while we were there, I didn't have a plan.

227
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:31,880
So we just kind of went to one little tent section and spent all our time there and missed

228
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,520
out on all these things.

229
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,200
Because as Derrick was mentioning, when you can go to these different sections and learn,

230
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:46,400
they're actually demonstrating these things and allowing people in the audience to participate.

231
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,080
So there's like basket weaving.

232
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,840
I mean, you name it, they're doing it.

233
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,320
There's a guy climbing a tree without shoes.

234
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,280
There was a whole guy that got coconuts out of a tree.

235
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,720
He had no shoes, no protective clothes, nothing.

236
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,840
And yeah, so I didn't see them fishing without a net.

237
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,000
I don't know how they did it.

238
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,920
I assume they did it with a spear.

239
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,920
I don't know.

240
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Because we missed out.

241
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Because London Rose wanted to, there was a boat ride and she wanted to ride on the boat

242
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,640
twice.

243
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,040
So we did that instead of, yeah.

244
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,800
Kind of partaking of what they actually had to offer.

245
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,040
But we did have a good time.

246
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,720
But the little bit that we did see was amazing.

247
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,840
So I'm assuming when you go to Fiji, you feel the beat, you do the dance, you become a warrior,

248
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,840
become a field warrior.

249
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,220
Then in Samoa, you feel the heat, they show some muscle and you'll learn some Samoan songs

250
00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:48,380
and dance and you'll also become a warrior.

251
00:11:48,380 --> 00:11:55,640
But this is where you learn how to climb a 40 foot coconut tree in your bare feet.

252
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,760
Sign me up for that.

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Go back to Adi Aurora.

254
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,960
So here you learn about the significance of the Moroan tattoos.

255
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,120
I hope I'm saying that right.

256
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,800
And then you test your dexterity by playing with twirling papaya balls, right?

257
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,800
And watch the Moran people dance.

258
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,800
P-O-Y balls.

259
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,800
P-O-Y.

260
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,800
P-O-Y balls.

261
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,800
Okay.

262
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,080
And watch the Moroan warrior dance, the known haka.

263
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,160
Do the haka.

264
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,640
We did see the haka.

265
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,640
It was amazing.

266
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,640
The haka, is this where they, no.

267
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,640
They like ha.

268
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,640
Yes, yes.

269
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,640
They're getting on their legs and stuff.

270
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Yes.

271
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,640
This is what they do before, I think they play football.

272
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,640
Football games.

273
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Yeah, football games.

274
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Yeah.

275
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,640
I would love to see that one too.

276
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,680
Oh yeah, it was nice.

277
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:44,740
And then in Tahiti, you're dancing another way.

278
00:12:44,740 --> 00:12:51,320
So you swing your hips and try to bite, try a bite and snack a fish and share the love.

279
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,840
And then in Tonga, this is where you-

280
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,220
We did watch Tonga.

281
00:12:55,220 --> 00:12:57,900
This is where they spear fish, right?

282
00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:02,560
So they tossed a spear and they used a spear to catch the fish.

283
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:09,560
I don't remember them because we were, I don't remember them using the spear to catch a

284
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:10,560
fish with the Tonga.

285
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:11,560
They just did a demonstration.

286
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:12,560
Gotcha.

287
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,560
With the spears and stuff.

288
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,840
I was Googling and they were spear fish.

289
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,520
And then you choose your favorite guest drummer and then you learn how to paddle a canoe.

290
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Yes.

291
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,520
That's what we got stuck.

292
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,520
You guys?

293
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,520
Yeah, London Rose.

294
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Yeah, that was her thing.

295
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,520
This is what y'all did, the canoe?

296
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,520
Yeah.

297
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,520
Okay.

298
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,520
She wanted to, over and over again.

299
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Let me ask you something.

300
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,120
Is this in a controlled environment or you're out in the ocean?

301
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,120
No, controlled environment.

302
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,120
Okay, gotcha.

303
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,120
Yes.

304
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Gotcha.

305
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,120
Yes, so-

306
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,120
I would love to have done that in the ocean.

307
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,080
Get your little canoe.

308
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,840
So what all we did do was we toured the center.

309
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,320
The Polynesian Center?

310
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,320
Yes.

311
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,320
Gotcha.

312
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,440
We rode that boat over and over again and we were just amazed at watching that man climb

313
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,640
the coconut tree with no support.

314
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Did they give you a demonstration like how his feet grabs the tree or did they explain-

315
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,680
They probably did, but like I said, we missed it because we were coming off of one of the

316
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:12,680
boat rides.

317
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:13,680
Gotcha.

318
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:18,680
We saw everyone standing around this tree and clapping and I was like, oh my goodness,

319
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:19,680
this man's on the tree.

320
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,560
I pulled my phone out just in time to watch him slide down the tree.

321
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:30,280
I was like, hot diggity dang mucking around with London Rose in this boat for the 18th

322
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,280
time.

323
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,280
A canoe trip.

324
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,680
No, I would love to see that.

325
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,200
So I got to go just to see this dude climb this tree with no shoes on.

326
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,400
It was amazing.

327
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,800
It was amazing.

328
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,440
Later that night we had a Luau buffet dinner and then the night show.

329
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,840
They do the fire, the hula dancing and everything.

330
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,840
So you guys were there all day?

331
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Yeah, it was all day affair.

332
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Okay.

333
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,320
It was all day, but keep in mind, like I said, our tickets-

334
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,320
Were for two days.

335
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,320
Were for two days.

336
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,320
We did.

337
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600
We just... And we saw the fire dancers.

338
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Out of everything, the fire dancers were my favorite thing.

339
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:13,040
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to video or photograph anything in the performance.

340
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,560
Why not?

341
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,480
That's their policy.

342
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,440
So I have no footage of that.

343
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,960
It's just everything strictly in memory.

344
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,680
But I do have pictures of the Luau buffet.

345
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,800
That's when London Rose went to sleep at the table.

346
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,240
So at this buffet, this Luau buffet, did they have the pig?

347
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,600
They roast the pig?

348
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,400
We did not go to that one.

349
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Okay, so I had no idea that your tickets for the Polynesian Culture Center... Oh, they're

350
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,160
in tears, people.

351
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,920
So I just thought, oh, I got the ticket.

352
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,920
I got the Luau.

353
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,920
I'm good.

354
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Uh-uh.

355
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Uh-uh.

356
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,320
You're supposed to spend extra money to get the one where the pig is roasting in the ground.

357
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,320
I didn't know that.

358
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,320
Okay.

359
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,320
I had no idea.

360
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,960
I figure with the military discount, you get all that-

361
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,760
I thought I did too.

362
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,680
So the person didn't explain that to me.

363
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,480
I was like, no.

364
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:11,040
What it was, I got the top thing at the military base, but however, there was a different pricing

365
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,520
at the Polynesian Culture Center that wasn't available at the military base.

366
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,600
I was like, you sneaky boogers.

367
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,640
So you could come in, but you could buy that when you got there, right?

368
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,280
I could have had I known about it.

369
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,560
By the time I asked for it, there were no more tickets.

370
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Because I was looking, because all these people had lays, I was like, hey, we didn't get a

371
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,840
lay.

372
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Oh, that's because they're going to this event over here.

373
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:45,480
I was like, and then a lady happened to hear me ask and get turned away and she took her

374
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,440
lay off of her neck and gave it to me.

375
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,440
Oh, that's sweet.

376
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,440
Very nice.

377
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,440
She was like, oh, I'll just take my husband's.

378
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,440
I was like, oh, gracias.

379
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,440
See how they treat your husband.

380
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,760
So did you get to eat though?

381
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Oh, yeah.

382
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,800
Oh, then that part right there.

383
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,360
Man, anything you can think of that anyone has ever told you, you should eat when you

384
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:11,960
go to Hawaii, was there.

385
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:20,680
So they had stations set up, like six different stations and authentic Hawaiian food.

386
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,920
What was your favorite?

387
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:28,000
I just something dealing with chicken.

388
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,960
I tried so much.

389
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,960
What about London Rose?

390
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,960
Something dealing with chicken nuggets.

391
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,960
She ate chicken.

392
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,680
She wanted chicken nuggets.

393
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800
She slept through half of her dinner.

394
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,200
Like I said, we had been there all day.

395
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Right, then you got Jack Black.

396
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I just thought about it.

397
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,200
You just flew in five hours on the plane.

398
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,680
I have videos and photos of her sleeping while we're eating dinner.

399
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:55,600
Oh, and you don't have to actually go to the culture center to enjoy the luau.

400
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,400
You can just pay for...

401
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,080
To go to the luau.

402
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,320
So that's what my friend did.

403
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,400
She dropped us off and then went and did her thing.

404
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:09,360
And then she came back to have the dinner and the show with us that night.

405
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:10,880
So I do have some regrets.

406
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,340
What are those?

407
00:18:13,340 --> 00:18:14,340
My regrets are...

408
00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:15,340
That you didn't take me?

409
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:16,340
Oh, of course.

410
00:18:16,340 --> 00:18:17,340
Of course.

411
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:20,040
My number one travel buddy, Am.

412
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,000
Yeah, you didn't take me after.

413
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,240
I'm so upset.

414
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:29,360
So our tickets were good for three days, but we did not take advantage of that.

415
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:34,080
In our afternoon visit, we were not able to see all the exhibits and not view all the

416
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,440
demonstrations.

417
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,720
So therefore we missed a lot.

418
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:51,920
And another regret is that I took an offsite tour to the...I think it's the Laie Temple,

419
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,040
which is a stunning Mormon temple there.

420
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,260
Which doing that offsite tour ate up all our time.

421
00:19:00,260 --> 00:19:03,240
So what happened was I did not realize...

422
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,920
So this is not a part of the Polynesian...

423
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,920
No.

424
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,480
There were some Mormon women there saying, this is a free tour.

425
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,280
And I don't know if I didn't hear all of it.

426
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,920
I just thought, oh, here's another tour.

427
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,920
Here's this bus.

428
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,920
It's free.

429
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,920
I'm going to get off.

430
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,920
And it's free.

431
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:21,920
And then it started to rain.

432
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,680
It's like, ooh, I'm going to use this opportunity to get out of the rain.

433
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,320
We went to this beautiful temple and I didn't realize that it was their ministry for them

434
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,760
to share their Mormon teachings and come join us.

435
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,640
I didn't realize it was any of that.

436
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,160
So they put you on the bus to try to convert you to...

437
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,520
I'm not going to say convert you, but it was to share their faith.

438
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,520
Gotcha.

439
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,520
You know, which is a...you know.

440
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Gotcha.

441
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,520
You know, good.

442
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,520
Good thing.

443
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,520
It was beautiful.

444
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,520
But it was long.

445
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Like I said, it was offsite, maybe 15, 20 minute ride there and back.

446
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:06,880
And they let you walk around the temple for about 30 minutes, more or less, depending

447
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,600
on how large your group is.

448
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,320
And, you know, so...

449
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,200
But that, like I said, that was time taken away from touring the Polynesian Center.

450
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,760
So that's why we missed a lot of things.

451
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,000
So I would have liked to have known that.

452
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,480
So it's going to be so time consuming.

453
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,480
Yeah.

454
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,000
So my friend, like I could have just asked her, hey, can you write me by here?

455
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,480
I could have saw it on my own later.

456
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,080
So that was that.

457
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,240
So you should have just told me, this is not on my touring list.

458
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,320
I'll have to get you next time.

459
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,320
You know, you always have a list.

460
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,320
You're like, this is not on there.

461
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,320
But I didn't.

462
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,320
That was the thing.

463
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,440
I went to the Polynesian Culture Center without a plan and that's my fault.

464
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,560
The one time I didn't plan and it bit me in the butt.

465
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Gotcha.

466
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,560
Because you always have a plan.

467
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,560
I do.

468
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,560
So I'm shocked.

469
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,560
But I didn't at that time.

470
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,360
So that was the end of day two.

471
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:56,360
Okay.

472
00:20:56,360 --> 00:21:02,440
So we are rolling into day three and our first visit was the...

473
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Day three.

474
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,440
Hold on.

475
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,440
We're at day three, right?

476
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,440
Mm-hmm.

477
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,440
The Bioto.

478
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,440
I said Bioto, B-O-T-O.

479
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,440
B-O-T-O in Temple.

480
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,440
All right.

481
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Let me stop you here.

482
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,440
Yes.

483
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,920
I don't see anything about sunrise photos.

484
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,320
You always forced me to get up at five and take sunrise photos.

485
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,320
You didn't take none?

486
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,320
Calm yourself.

487
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,320
You didn't take none?

488
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,320
I'm getting there.

489
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,320
Oh, okay.

490
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,320
I'm getting a little disappointed.

491
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,320
Calm yourself.

492
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,320
I'm calm.

493
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,320
So the Bioto, it's really bugging me.

494
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,320
I think that's...

495
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,320
Bioto.

496
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,320
That's what it said.

497
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:44,360
Bioto in Temple is this beautiful replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple.

498
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,280
Correct me if I'm wrong.

499
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,600
They don't actually practice in this temple, right?

500
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,600
No.

501
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,600
It is a...

502
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,600
Right, correct.

503
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,920
It's not practicing Buddhist temple, but people of all faiths are welcome to come there.

504
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:06,840
So you can just come and pray, worship, meditate, or do like we did, just enjoy the beauty,

505
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,280
because it is breathtaking.

506
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Oh my goodness, that place was beautiful.

507
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,560
So tickets to go there ranges from $2 to $5.

508
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,720
So like $2 for kids up to 12 years old.

509
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,880
Okay, you said you didn't have a plan.

510
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,280
What made you put this on, these threes?

511
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,280
Hold on.

512
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,640
Seniors pay $4 and then adults $5.

513
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600
So how did I find out about this temple?

514
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Oh, I just...

515
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:40,440
You know how I did a search of must-see things in Oahu, and that came up.

516
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,560
And I was like, oh, this reminds me of Okinawa.

517
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,000
I want to go visit.

518
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:52,720
And so yeah, I had my friend, she just took me in London Rose, and we spent maybe a good

519
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,960
hour just walking around and enjoying the place.

520
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,560
It was so nice.

521
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:05,800
They had a little gift shop on site where you can buy food to feed the fish in the koi

522
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,560
pond, the wild birds there.

523
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,680
So I bought some food in London Rose, fed the birds.

524
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,840
She fed the koi fish as well.

525
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840
How did the bird feeding go?

526
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,640
Because the last time we fed birds, they attacked us.

527
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,840
These bees birds were a lot more calm.

528
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,400
They just kind of just bounced up to you and ate at your hand.

529
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,400
They didn't swarm all on you and fly on you.

530
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,920
They were very tame.

531
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,600
So we toured the temple.

532
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:40,680
And if you go to tour that temple, just remember to remove your shoes before entering.

533
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,080
So they have beautiful gardens on the grounds.

534
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,080
We toured those.

535
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,760
We took pictures.

536
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:52,200
And there was this huge gong that you have to push this log-like thing.

537
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,200
They let you guys do that?

538
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,200
Yeah.

539
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,200
And it goes boom.

540
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Oh my God.

541
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,200
Boom.

542
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,200
Wow.

543
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,200
That's what it sounds like.

544
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,200
It was so beautiful.

545
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,200
You guys have to do that?

546
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,600
You didn't tell me that.

547
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,600
You know what I felt like?

548
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,600
What?

549
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,600
I've ever seen the Want the Knife.

550
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,600
What was the name of that movie?

551
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,600
Annie Murphy.

552
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,360
Golden Child.

553
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,360
The Golden Child.

554
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,360
I felt like I was somewhere at the Golden Child.

555
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:19,360
I'm so freaking mad.

556
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,360
I would love to do that.

557
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:21,360
Yeah.

558
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,360
All right.

559
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,880
We can go.

560
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,280
So from there, you guys go to Pearl Harbor, right?

561
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,280
Yes.

562
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,280
Yeah.

563
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,280
That's when the Japanese attacked December 7, 1941.

564
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:41,200
And then you didn't get to go see USS Arizona, right?

565
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,680
Because conditions were not right.

566
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,680
Yes.

567
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:51,560
So when you go to Pearl Harbor, there are a couple of things you... I mean, there's

568
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,680
a lot of things you can see.

569
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,760
But there are four things that you should really try to see.

570
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:09,040
And two of those... Well, I don't know if two, but one for a fact is not included in

571
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,920
your admission price, and that's the submarine.

572
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,000
What was the submarine's name?

573
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Bofen submarine?

574
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,820
Yes, the Bofen submarine.

575
00:25:19,820 --> 00:25:22,840
So they have the submarine that you can actually tour.

576
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,920
We didn't tour.

577
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,520
It was an additional... I want to say it was close to $50.

578
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,520
Okay.

579
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,960
So each... We talked about this before.

580
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:39,080
I wish they would make Pearl Harbor similar to the museums in DC where they're free because

581
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,080
your tax dollars pay for it.

582
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,280
It's knee to heel over there.

583
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,280
That would have been great.

584
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,280
I don't know.

585
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,440
$50 sounds like it was so much.

586
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,440
I don't remember.

587
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,800
All I remember, I remember clutching my pearls when I saw the price and holding my bag.

588
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,240
I was like, I don't know if I want to pay.

589
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,800
I should have paid it.

590
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,000
I was being cheap and should have just paid it.

591
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,120
But the one thing that I really wanted to see was...

592
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:08,680
USS Arizona?

593
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,240
Yes, the USS Arizona.

594
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,700
That is the sunken battleship.

595
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:14,700
Why that battleship?

596
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:20,400
Because there was more battleships on the property, but that particular battleship was

597
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:28,520
when it was bombed by Japan was at 1,700 and...

598
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,280
Was 1,102 sailors and Marines died on that day.

599
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,280
So that's almost half.

600
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,280
It was over half.

601
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Over half, yeah.

602
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,280
Yeah.

603
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:44,760
Out of almost two thirds of the people that died during that bombing died on that one

604
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,760
battleship alone.

605
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,760
Didn't know that.

606
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,760
So yes.

607
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,280
I didn't know that until you told me that.

608
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Oh yeah.

609
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,280
Yeah.

610
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:58,520
So that's why that one was so important, but it's out in the waters.

611
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:04,580
It's not where all the other museum places are to look.

612
00:27:04,580 --> 00:27:12,040
So you have to take a boat out there to that sunken battleship to go walk on the memorial

613
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,040
stuff.

614
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,240
But when we went, it was too windy.

615
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,240
Yeah.

616
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:25,320
And at first I'm like, windy, I just put... And the man was like, ma'am, if it's too windy,

617
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,320
we can capsize.

618
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,320
We can flip over.

619
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,320
I was like, oh really?

620
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:34,720
I don't know why I wasn't thinking that the wind could knock our boats over.

621
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,720
Don't play with Mother Nature in the ocean.

622
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,720
Just don't do it.

623
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,720
Yeah.

624
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,720
They were like, I'm sorry.

625
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,240
Because it was hot that particular day.

626
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,720
It was so hot I was sweating.

627
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,600
I'm like, Wendy, we ain't got nobody's breeze nowhere.

628
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:54,120
It was so... Apparently away from all those buildings that we were by, it was windy.

629
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:58,520
And when I say all the buildings in Pearl Harbor, there are different museums there

630
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,520
that you can walk through.

631
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,960
And surprisingly, the museums were quite interesting.

632
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,120
I found myself reading them.

633
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,120
It should be.

634
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,120
Yeah.

635
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,120
There's a lot to happen at that.

636
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:16,000
Like they had transcripts of the president.

637
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,880
I forgot which president was the president at that time, but his speech that he wrote,

638
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,880
they actually-

639
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,120
World War II, I think that's Hoover.

640
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:27,880
They actually shared it.

641
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840
And they had the revisions on it where they marked out.

642
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,840
Really?

643
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,840
Yeah.

644
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,840
Yeah.

645
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,840
It was quite interesting.

646
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Even London Rose, she was interested.

647
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,200
She was usually not interested in stuff like that.

648
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,200
Yeah.

649
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,200
But she sat and she watched.

650
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,200
She was telling me, hold up, Mom.

651
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,200
I was like, really?

652
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,200
Yeah.

653
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,480
I'm trying to get out here and you want to keep reading this stuff?

654
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,480
It's interesting.

655
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Yeah.

656
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,240
Even if you're not into history of war, it's interesting to see something that the president

657
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,240
wrote, the revisions.

658
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,040
They don't usually release stuff like that.

659
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,040
Yeah.

660
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,920
So I wish I could have partake in that.

661
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,240
Yeah, you would have really enjoyed it.

662
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,240
I would have loved that.

663
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,840
But you're talking about the four things you should do or must do, and that's visit the

664
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:17,280
battleship USS Missouri, quote unquote, the last battleship ever launched by the USA,

665
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:23,000
the Bow Fence submarine, great idea there, the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.

666
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Yes.

667
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,120
And then of course, the USS Arizona.

668
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Yes.

669
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,960
So if you're in Hawaii, is that the big island?

670
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Because they have Nikkei's.

671
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,960
Oahu, yes.

672
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:32,960
That's the big island.

673
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,120
So when you're on the big island, visit the Pearl Harbor.

674
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Yeah.

675
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,120
It's a must see.

676
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,400
So spend a day, don't try to cram it all in like I did.

677
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,400
Yeah, take your time.

678
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:48,720
Man, Polynesian Center, Pearl Harbor, spend a day.

679
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,720
Yeah.

680
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,720
If you can.

681
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Probably more than a day.

682
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,720
If the Polynesians-

683
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,720
Polynesian Center, you need to spend at least two days.

684
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,000
If you're going to buy a three day ticket, you should go at least two days.

685
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Just stop.

686
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Yeah, you should.

687
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,000
You should.

688
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:07,680
And then with all the historical artifacts of Pearl Harbor, I think that's two days easy,

689
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,760
in my opinion.

690
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:17,160
And so that was day three, but before the end of day three, we were leaving the hotel

691
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:23,960
on the military base and we checked into the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort.

692
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,960
Hilton, how does that work?

693
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:31,160
So we wanted to stay on the beach for a couple of days and-

694
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,880
Wait, wait, wait, time out, time out.

695
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,120
Y'all didn't try to surf now one time y'all were there.

696
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,360
I don't mess around with sharks like that.

697
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,360
I do it in the cage.

698
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,640
They got the baby version of surfing?

699
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,640
I wasn't interested.

700
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,120
I'm not interested.

701
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,880
Hey, I'm not interested in being unprotected in an ocean.

702
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:50,880
Okay, gotcha.

703
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,880
That's not-

704
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,880
That's not your thing.

705
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Not on my bingo card.

706
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,080
Well, I'm going to try it at least once.

707
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,080
I do you boo.

708
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,320
I'm going to try it at least once.

709
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:08,880
So we stayed in this beach resort and this was also not in my bingo cards, but we realized

710
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,440
that there is a submarine ride-

711
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,080
You are out your mind.

712
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,560
That takes off right at the back of our beach.

713
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,920
I mean, back of our hotel.

714
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:24,600
This is right after the submarine implodes going to the Titanic and you going to jump

715
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,600
on a submarine?

716
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:26,680
It was a week later.

717
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,680
I don't know why I didn't-

718
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,680
I think I'm invincible.

719
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,680
No way.

720
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:37,680
I don't know what goes on in my brain, but in my brain I think I can do anything.

721
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:43,960
So this was about a week or two after the whole Titanic submarine debacle and I tell

722
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,080
Derek, hey, guess what we're going to do?

723
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,440
London Rose and I are going to go to the Atlantis submarine ride.

724
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,060
And why Kiki?

725
00:31:52,060 --> 00:31:57,120
We literally had to just walk out of our hotel room, cut a right, go to the edge of the beach

726
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,120
and bam.

727
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,120
And London Rose, she was all for it.

728
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Really?

729
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,120
We're going to go on a submarine ride?

730
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,120
Yeah, girl.

731
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,960
I'm like, y'all just so watching news.

732
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,520
Just like the submarine we saw at Pearl Harbor.

733
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,520
We going hot diggity dang.

734
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Y'all look nuts.

735
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,440
I happily paid that money.

736
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,400
It wasn't even making the connection like, girl, you slick in danger.

737
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:18,400
Anything can go wrong.

738
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,640
You're going to be under the ocean.

739
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,280
I'm like, dude, you're not going to wait until they have a hearing about these imploded submarines

740
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,640
before you get on one?

741
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,640
Nope.

742
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,200
We're going on a submarine ride today.

743
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,000
I just thought it would be super fun to do.

744
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
And I was right.

745
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Hello.

746
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,380
It was so much fun.

747
00:32:35,380 --> 00:32:38,280
We learned so much.

748
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,880
I learned what the port side was.

749
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,880
What is the port side?

750
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,880
I don't remember.

751
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,880
I don't know.

752
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,720
I learned at the time one side means white.

753
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,020
I mean, right and one is the left.

754
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:50,880
So you have port and you have the stern.

755
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,560
That's a boat though, right?

756
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,560
It's port.

757
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,560
It's called.

758
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,560
You're going to make me look at that.

759
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:04,800
Port and the bow and the stern and the thingy thing.

760
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,160
I would think it would be different in the submarine versus the boat, but I'm sure they're

761
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:13,360
the same because they're both ocean dwelling vessels.

762
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,360
Right.

763
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,360
Okay.

764
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:16,360
What you got?

765
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,360
Yeah, it's in here.

766
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,360
What?

767
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:29,400
Where you talk about the Titanic submarine explosion.

768
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,400
We're trying to look up.

769
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,400
Don't worry about it, baby.

770
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,400
It is really bothering me.

771
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,400
Oh, no wonder.

772
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,400
I see.

773
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,400
Okay.

774
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,840
What are the directions?

775
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,840
The directions.

776
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,760
Not the cold directions of a submarine.

777
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,920
Stern, the bow, port side.

778
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,120
That's all I know.

779
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,000
And I got that from the wire.

780
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,880
Oh my goodness.

781
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,720
Port side and starboard side.

782
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,280
That's what it is.

783
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,240
The port side is the left and the starboard is the right.

784
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,240
Okay.

785
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,560
Because our captain was constantly saying that.

786
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,560
Right.

787
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,800
He had to learn really quick.

788
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,800
Yes.

789
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,400
And then we talked about how you couldn't see red under the water because of it has

790
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,920
to do with the light.

791
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,920
Oh, okay.

792
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,440
Red isn't visible on the water for certain.

793
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,440
I forgot what it was.

794
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,600
We kind of watched the color come out of our clothes.

795
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,600
It was really interesting.

796
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,880
It was very, very interesting because London Rose's shoes, she had on red crocs, but when

797
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,040
we got down deep enough, her crocs looked blue.

798
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,040
Really?

799
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,160
That's amazing.

800
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:56,360
So what we learned was that with Atlanta Submarine Ride, they took us down and we saw sunken

801
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:03,720
boats, sunken planes, sunken machinery things.

802
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:13,680
So what they do is some of the stuff is natural, but most of it was bought by the company and

803
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,480
dumped there.

804
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:24,800
So they would get a plane and they would quote unquote poke holes in it and let it sink right

805
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,040
there.

806
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,680
This is to help build... This is so we can have stuff to look at.

807
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000
Oh, I thought it was for the fish.

808
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Well the fish too.

809
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:41,440
So when we were down there, we would see fish on the bowels of boats, turtles.

810
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,960
We even saw sharks down there.

811
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,680
It was quite amazing.

812
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Very beautiful.

813
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,520
Very beautiful.

814
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:49,520
Sharks.

815
00:35:49,520 --> 00:36:00,120
If you're feeling brave, if you're willing to go 400 feet underwater in a submarine,

816
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:05,960
check out Atlanta Submarine Rides in Waikiki.

817
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:14,040
And then after we left there, we went to the mall in Waikiki.

818
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,040
Really?

819
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,040
Okay.

820
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:24,040
At the mall, we found Chick-fil-A. However, they did have the Hawaiian versions of their

821
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,040
food that we tried out.

822
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,320
And the food was very delicious, way better.

823
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,320
It tastes different.

824
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,320
Sure did.

825
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:32,320
Okay.

826
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,800
And we saw a dance troupe was performing on their stage.

827
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,800
In the mall?

828
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,800
Uh-huh.

829
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,040
So in these malls, they have pretty much the same stores.

830
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,040
Oh yeah.

831
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,040
Got you.

832
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:49,040
And then they also have tour guides, like buses that you can take tours of downtown

833
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,320
Waikiki.

834
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,840
So we did that so we can kind of see our area for where we were staying.

835
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:01,720
And then that night, there was a fireworks show off of our hotel.

836
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,120
The hotel does this every night?

837
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,120
Yep.

838
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,120
Okay.

839
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,240
We were too tired to watch.

840
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:19,880
Because the next day was the day that we leave, but it was also our sunrise tour shark cave

841
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:20,880
dive.

842
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,880
Oh Lord.

843
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920
So I had to go to sleep.

844
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:29,800
I had to be at the beach, I think by seven o'clock in the morning.

845
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,400
And the location was like 50 minutes away.

846
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,280
And bless my friend, without complaining, she took me.

847
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,880
She got up and drove us there.

848
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:42,880
Wow.

849
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,800
So they don't have this right at the beach where the hotel is?

850
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,800
Nope.

851
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,800
We have to drive out.

852
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,800
It's North Shore.

853
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,800
Okay.

854
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,680
So Waikiki's Southern Shore?

855
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,680
I don't know.

856
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,680
Don't quote me on that.

857
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:59,960
But I just know that if you know anything about Dole, like the Dole Pineapple Plantation,

858
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:03,280
it is about two, three miles away from Dole.

859
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,560
It's out, out far there.

860
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:11,720
So the North Shore is called North Shore Shark Adventures in Haleiwa.

861
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:12,720
Haleiwa.

862
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:13,720
Haleiwa.

863
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:17,240
It's a whole different city.

864
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:21,840
Haleiwa, Hawaii, to go cage diving with sharks.

865
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:28,840
So we come there and-

866
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,840
You have a deaf wish.

867
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,520
We get on this boat.

868
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,480
It's about, how many of us?

869
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,960
Maybe about 10 of us.

870
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,640
And London Rose, it was one little girl that was like maybe a year younger than London

871
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:42,640
Rose.

872
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,440
And these two little girls, London Rose and this little girl.

873
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,760
And we just go out into the ocean and we pretty much watch the sunrise.

874
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,800
I have beautiful pictures of that.

875
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,800
Okay.

876
00:38:52,800 --> 00:39:00,800
And it was just so serene and beautiful and made me nauseous.

877
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,800
And I realized, oh girl, you get seasick.

878
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,800
You didn't take any germinol?

879
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,560
I was, nope, I was not prepared.

880
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,520
So I'm sitting there just-

881
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,200
Allow me to interrupt here.

882
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,320
So what time was this in the morning?

883
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,320
7.

884
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,320
7 a.m.

885
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,920
You got there at 7, got on the boat at 7?

886
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:19,920
Yeah.

887
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,720
Or was the water cold or-

888
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:23,520
I wasn't touching the water at the time.

889
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,520
Oh, when we got in-

890
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,520
When you got in?

891
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,520
I don't even remember.

892
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:32,240
Because it was just the whole shock of sharks.

893
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:35,880
So let me tell y'all, we get out in the middle of nowhere.

894
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:41,280
When I say middle of nowhere, we couldn't see nothing as far as I could see but water.

895
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,800
And the guy says, oh yeah, we're at our spot.

896
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,200
But none of our sharks are here.

897
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,800
It's completely empty, which means that there are tiger sharks in the water.

898
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,320
I was like, tiger sharks?

899
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,240
Aren't those the sharks that eat anything?

900
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:01,960
Yes, they are.

901
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,800
So I was like, we had to see Galapagos sharks.

902
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,480
Why can't you see tiger sharks?

903
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,320
Because the tiger sharks would have been too dangerous for us to be in the water with.

904
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,320
But you're in a cage.

905
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,800
If there are no fish in the water, we don't get in the water either.

906
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:21,800
Okay.

907
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:22,800
Okay.

908
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,280
And I was like, what?

909
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,600
But they have a guarantee that you will see sharks.

910
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,880
So we had to leave the tiger sharks.

911
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,800
And then we went about a mile or so away.

912
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,840
I would love to see the tiger sharks.

913
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,960
And that was the moment I thought, wow, this may not have been a good idea.

914
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,960
Another one of your great ideas, baby.

915
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,760
When he said that, I look over at my child like, oh my goodness.

916
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,200
I'm feeding her to the sharks.

917
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,200
Oh my goodness.

918
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,880
So then London Rose, she's starting to back out.

919
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,440
Mama, I don't think I'm able to do it.

920
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,760
And I was like, baby, you can do it.

921
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,760
Just try it.

922
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,800
Just get in there for a minute or two.

923
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,800
Just try it.

924
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,480
That child is smart.

925
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,600
They divide us up into two groups.

926
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,240
Because the little girl that she was with said she was scared she wasn't going to do

927
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:11,240
it.

928
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:12,240
So all of a sudden London Rose is scared.

929
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:17,840
So I'm over here rolling my eyes like, woman, get your little scary kid away from mine,

930
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,880
messing up our adventure.

931
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:28,040
So me and London Rose and that little girl are in the first group, right, in another

932
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,160
family.

933
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:36,340
So what they do is they drop the cage in the water right next to the boat.

934
00:41:36,340 --> 00:41:41,360
So you climb off of the little ladder that's attached to the boat and you go straight into

935
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,360
the cage.

936
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,360
Gotcha.

937
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,120
You hold on to the cage and then they push you out into the ocean with an arm.

938
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,600
They extend the arm.

939
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:56,280
So I get in the water and I move around to make room for London Rose to come in.

940
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:02,920
The time it took me to fix my camera, I had my cell phone in a bag to take pictures and

941
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:03,920
videos.

942
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:09,960
The time it took me to fix my phone and turn it on and turn around, London Rose is already

943
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:10,960
climbing out.

944
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,040
Okay, mom, I went in for a minute.

945
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,040
She went in where?

946
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,120
She went in the cage for about a good two, three minutes.

947
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,120
And jumped right back out.

948
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,280
She came right back out before they extended it out into the ocean.

949
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,720
Her and that little girl.

950
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:24,720
She didn't see nothing but water.

951
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:29,680
She said she looked, she saw sharks, she got back out.

952
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,680
Did she see sharks?

953
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,680
Yeah.

954
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:32,680
The sharks were there.

955
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,680
Okay.

956
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:34,680
They were swimming around us.

957
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,680
How did they attract the sharks?

958
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,960
Just by showing up?

959
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,760
I honestly think they used chum.

960
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,080
I don't remember because I don't remember seeing blood or anything in the water.

961
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:52,480
I do remember the guy saying that they're just used to when they're here in the boats,

962
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,720
they know that people are coming, so they just come.

963
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:55,720
Okay.

964
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:58,400
But like I said, I don't remember seeing chum in the water.

965
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,400
Gotcha.

966
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:10,960
But anyway, so we get out there and what people don't tell you about being in a shark cage

967
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,060
is you don't think about it, but the water is choppy.

968
00:43:16,060 --> 00:43:17,060
It's wavy.

969
00:43:17,060 --> 00:43:21,760
Imagine being in one of those water beds when you're like a kid and how you're always moving

970
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,760
around.

971
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:23,760
Yeah.

972
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,760
Yes.

973
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,940
You're constantly moving around, which means you're banging against the cage if you're holding

974
00:43:27,940 --> 00:43:28,940
on it.

975
00:43:28,940 --> 00:43:36,440
So put it this way, the next day my legs were covered in bruises from me banging against

976
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,440
that shark cage.

977
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,200
That's why I didn't get mad at London Rose.

978
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,320
How deep did they have the shark cage?

979
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:42,320
Not deep at all.

980
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,320
Okay.

981
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,320
Just the top.

982
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,360
I think that's because you were at the top, you would've went down a little bit.

983
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:54,600
It probably wouldn't have been so bad, but also the slats in the cage, like the bars,

984
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,040
were pretty darn wide.

985
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:03,960
I was able to stick my foot through the bar and thinking about it like, hey, London Rose's

986
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,520
whole arm and foot, everything could have went through that bar, so it was a good thing

987
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,200
she did get out the water.

988
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,680
I was like, that's when I had a moment like, hold up, if one of these sharks are feeling

989
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,920
ambitious they can come and take a nimble out of me if they wanted to.

990
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:23,980
I don't think their head would fit through the grids, would they?

991
00:44:23,980 --> 00:44:24,980
Their noses could.

992
00:44:24,980 --> 00:44:26,880
Oh, their noses don't have teeth.

993
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,160
But like I said, our foot could slip through.

994
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,160
Okay.

995
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,680
And they can just come bite.

996
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:39,400
I just got, it was very humbling to watch the sharks swim under the cage, under my foot.

997
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:44,200
Because like I said, the first couple of minutes of my videos, just me tumbling around in this

998
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,480
cage, but you can see these sharks clearly swimming by the cage and under the cage.

999
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,240
And it was like, whoa, they were pretty darn close.

1000
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,880
You were in their environment.

1001
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:56,880
I was.

1002
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:57,880
I was in their home.

1003
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:03,360
And especially when the arm extended the cage out into the ocean, so we were away from the

1004
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:04,360
boat.

1005
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,520
Because I was thinking, oh man, this is kind of hard.

1006
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:07,520
I want to get out.

1007
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,520
Yeah.

1008
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,560
And just when I thought that they had that, there we go out in the ocean.

1009
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,440
I was like, oh man, I'm stuck.

1010
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,440
That's how I felt.

1011
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,440
I'm stuck.

1012
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,920
I'm in here now.

1013
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:20,920
I am stuck.

1014
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,520
London Rose is waving at me, hi mommy.

1015
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,040
I'm like, but hey.

1016
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,040
But you had fun.

1017
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,040
It was fun.

1018
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,040
It was very humbling.

1019
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,040
It's on the bucket list.

1020
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,040
I did it.

1021
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,040
I marked it off.

1022
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:41,400
Look, I flew an airplane before and I swam in a shark cage with sharks.

1023
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,400
I'm really jealous.

1024
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,160
I think I'm going to do the shark cage.

1025
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:45,240
I'm checking that off.

1026
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:46,240
You will be by yourself.

1027
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:48,440
Except I want to do the tiger sharks.

1028
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,520
No, I don't think they'll allow that.

1029
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,000
I want to see real sharks.

1030
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,320
So mind you, that was also the same day that we were leaving Hawaii.

1031
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,320
What?

1032
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,320
Yes.

1033
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:06,160
That's why I scheduled my cage dive that morning so that I had enough time to go back to the

1034
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:12,280
hotel, take a shower, and then go to the airport and fly out.

1035
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:13,320
And that's what we did.

1036
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,480
And we left Hawaii and flew back to Los Angeles.

1037
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,480
And then back to the next.

1038
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,640
And that was that's that's Hawaii.

1039
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,000
We learned Hawaii at the Polynesian Culture Center.

1040
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,480
They were very particular with pronunciation.

1041
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,480
It's not Hawaii, Hawaii.

1042
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:32,480
Hawaii.

1043
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,480
Yes.

1044
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,720
Unlike my uncle back in Memphis.

1045
00:46:35,720 --> 00:46:36,720
What?

1046
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:37,720
Because it's Hawaii.

1047
00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:40,720
Oh my goodness.

1048
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:43,160
Anyway.

1049
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,960
Oh, I almost forgot.

1050
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,040
We also visited the Iolani Palace.

1051
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,720
On the same day you were leaving?

1052
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:52,720
Yep.

1053
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:53,720
I had to squeeze it in.

1054
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:55,040
Okay, get it in.

1055
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:02,120
So the Iolani Palace is the only royal palace located on US soil.

1056
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,280
Makes sense because Hawaii was his own country.

1057
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,280
It was.

1058
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,280
It was.

1059
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,280
The US took over.

1060
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,280
Oh my goodness.

1061
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,280
What?

1062
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,880
It's just a fact.

1063
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,680
So when we went, it was closed.

1064
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,040
So they had the gates locked and everything.

1065
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,320
So but it's still breathtaking.

1066
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,880
Okay.

1067
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,840
From what I was able to see through the bars.

1068
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:22,840
Okay.

1069
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,640
Even with it being closed, can you just visit Monday through Friday?

1070
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,160
Do they have tours?

1071
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,160
Yes.

1072
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,160
Okay.

1073
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:42,640
So if you go online, look up IolaniPalace.org.

1074
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:50,760
They will tell you when you can visit, how much it costs, the attire, what you can wear.

1075
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,240
What you can wear, what you can't wear.

1076
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:53,240
Yeah, it is a palace.

1077
00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:54,240
It has a dress code?

1078
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:55,240
Yeah, it's a royal palace.

1079
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:56,240
Oh wow.

1080
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:57,240
Okay.

1081
00:47:57,240 --> 00:47:58,240
Like don't play with them now.

1082
00:47:58,240 --> 00:47:59,240
Is it still active?

1083
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:01,120
Is it like the City Hall of Honolulu or something?

1084
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,000
Or is it just a tourist site landmark?

1085
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,440
I don't know.

1086
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:15,800
Even online it says it is the living restoration of proud Hawaiian national identity and a

1087
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,760
registered national historic landmark.

1088
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:25,840
It is located at the corner of King Street and Richard Street in downtown Honolulu.

1089
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:26,840
Okay.

1090
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,520
It's a must see.

1091
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,000
So if you're in Honolulu, you got to stop by.

1092
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Yes.

1093
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,920
And some of the royal family is still alive people.

1094
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:34,920
So really?

1095
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,920
Yeah.

1096
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,400
It wasn't that long ago that we took Hawaii.

1097
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,600
I guess they're descendants.

1098
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:40,600
Yeah.

1099
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,560
Are they treated like royalty by the Hawaiian people in the US?

1100
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:44,560
The Hawaiian people.

1101
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:45,560
Okay.

1102
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,280
But you know how, yeah.

1103
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,840
That's another story for another day.

1104
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:49,840
There we go.

1105
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:50,840
There we go.

1106
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:58,440
But what is interesting you guys is located directly across the street is the statue of

1107
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,400
King Kamehameha statue.

1108
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:06,720
Who is that?

1109
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:07,720
One of the kings.

1110
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:08,920
Okay.

1111
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:18,360
And that statue is at the building of the Hawaii Supreme Court.

1112
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:19,360
And what is that?

1113
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,360
What's the purpose of that?

1114
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,360
Yes.

1115
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:32,520
Well, if you are a Hawaii Five-O fan, it is the location of the Hawaii Five-O headquarters.

1116
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:33,520
You know what?

1117
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:34,520
I always thought those as TV.

1118
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,920
I didn't think that was a real thing.

1119
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:37,920
Yeah.

1120
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:45,360
So the TV show Hawaii Five-O, all of the exterior shots of the headquarters was shot at their

1121
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,600
Supreme Court.

1122
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:47,600
Wow.

1123
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:52,560
Which was that building that faces the Iolani Palace.

1124
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:53,560
Learn something new every day.

1125
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:54,560
Yeah.

1126
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,760
I thought it was a studio set and they just took pictures of it.

1127
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:57,760
It's an actual place.

1128
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:58,760
Yeah.

1129
00:49:58,760 --> 00:49:59,760
Their Supreme Court.

1130
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:00,760
Sweet.

1131
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:01,960
And it's a museum.

1132
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:08,040
So you can visit, but just understand that it's not going to look like the Hawaii Five-O

1133
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,040
set.

1134
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,360
That was filmed somewhere else.

1135
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:12,360
Gotcha.

1136
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:13,360
Okay.

1137
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,800
But yeah, because when we got there, I thought I was going to be the only one to take all

1138
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,800
my pictures.

1139
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:17,800
Uh-uh.

1140
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:18,800
A bunch of people.

1141
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,800
There were so many people there taking their selfies and I was like, oh, okay.

1142
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,240
I'm not the only nerd here today.

1143
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:25,720
A bunch of people going, book them, Dan-O.

1144
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:26,720
They were.

1145
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:27,720
I knew it.

1146
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:28,720
Oh my gosh.

1147
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:29,720
I had corn balls.

1148
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:30,720
I knew it.

1149
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:31,720
I knew it.

1150
00:50:31,720 --> 00:50:35,240
So that's your trip to, well, that's y'all trip to Hawaii.

1151
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:36,240
Hawaii?

1152
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:37,240
Hawaii.

1153
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:38,240
Hawaii.

1154
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:39,240
Oh my goodness.

1155
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:40,240
I hope I can go next time.

1156

Yeah, me too.
