We went swimming at Waikiki Beach as soon as we arrived on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. We took a small plane to Kilauea Volcano this afternoon. The lava was pouring out when we flew overhead. It was very exciting.
Today we went on an eight-hour tour which included Fisherman’s Wharf, the Napa Valley wine-growing area, and the famous prison on the island of Alcatraz in the middle of San Francisco Bay.
