More than sun and beaches

by rexvaughan - last update: Mar 7, 2005

Memorable places

Arizona Memorial
The USS Arizona Memorial, pictured here, is probably the most frequently seen photo from Honolulu. There is a reason - it is well worth the visit as it is a moving tribute and memorial. We had a very short visit spending only two nights and one day but it is amazing how much you can see in a short time. We are not big into beaches but found Waikiki a beautiful beach and an amazing series of shops of all kinds.

No grass skirts & coconuts

The other major sight we saw in addition to the Arizona was the Bishop Museum which is a small but amazingly comprehensive place dedicated to natural and cultural history of Hawaii and the Pacific. In the photo two local young women demonstrate the classic hula which is about telling a story. They were wonderful.

 Honest, insightful presentation. The museum sounds wonderful. How fortunate to meet up with the Doctor. Did you purchase his book? I was quite moved the the whole Pearl Harbour experience.

 what wonderful yet eerie photos of your visit to Pearl Harbour. I went there in December 2002 and found it a most memorable experience.
