History tells us the sandwich was invented by the Earl of Sandwich in England in 1762. According to legend, the earl was a known gambler and during one long stretch at the table, he instructed his cook to bring him something portable to eat. With that, the sandwich was born, and it wasn’t long before the idea spread worldwide. One of the most popular? Grilled cheese! As with all things culinary, each nation has put its own twists on the dish to accent their culture and local flavor.

A short visit back at the US Army Museum to see the Cobra helicopter. More fresh fish for lunch and then the afternoon at the Bishop Museum before finally flying out on the red-eye.

A lot of flying today. I managed to fly at five different scenic locations today. My first stop was at Pearl Harbor. No flying there due to it’s proximity to the Navy base. My first flight was at the Aloha Tower where the NCL Pride of America and Falls of Clyde were docked. My second stop was at the Lanikai Pillboxes, where I have hiked in the past. The next stop was near the Halona Blowhole to get pictures of Koko Head. After that I stopped between Koko Head and Hanauma Bay to get photos of both. My last stop before sunset was at a park nearby Diamond Head in Waikiki. It was a very productive day, and without the hiking involved it was not exhausting.
