Bush's visit likely to disrupt island life [View All]

By Associated Press

(Honolulu-AP) -- The visit of President and Mrs. Bush is expected to cause disruptions throughout the day. The U-S-S Arizona Memorial and the U-S-S Bowfin will be closed to the public until noon.

And the presidential motorcade is expected to cause traffic delays.

Police haven't given advance notice of road closures, but Bush is scheduled to make his way from Pearl Harbor to the Kahala Mandarin at noontime. Later, the president will make his way to a fund-raiser at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. And around eight tonight, President and Mrs. Bush will proceed to Hickam Air Force Base and head back to Washington.

Along the way, hundreds of supporters and detractors of the Bush administration can be expected. Hawaiian sovereignty advocates, representatives from the presidential campaigns of Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich, and various union groups are expected to protest the president.
