Elvis has a press conference aboard the USS Matsonia after its arrival in Honolulu' harbor at 8:45 a.m. After the press conference Elvis and his party head to the Hawaiian Village Hotel where Elvis checks in for room 14A.

Later today the members of the band and the Jordanaires will arrive on Oahu by plane.
