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.
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.

This is a pretty standard but good hotel and is almost on the airport. I might have chosen a more picturesque facility... more travel advice

Getting around the Hawaiian Islands can be done either as an adventure or quickly. We didn't do the helicopter island... more travel advice

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.
Nice page! I can't wait to go to Hawaii in September for our honeymoon!!! :)
what wonderful yet eerie photos of your visit to Pearl Harbour. I went there in December 2002 and found it a most memorable experience.
