Hawaii By Sea (AP)Coming and going by sea makes a lot of sense when it comes to visiting Hawaii. I found that out again last week when I arrived in the islands on a 15-day Holland America cruise from San Diego and back that stopped in Oahu, Maui and twice on the Big Island. Pulling into the Aloha Tower cruise terminal at the heart of the Bishop Street downtown business corridor in Honolulu evokes images of the old days, when the Matson Line brought Hawaii"s first mass tourists on ocean-going cruises. Go even farther back and imagine Mark Twain stepping off of a sailing ship from San Francisco when he visited the islands more than a century ago, and brought back some of the first evocative travel writing from these parts. feeds.cbsnews.com |
