A perfect stop over destination.

by K.Knight - last update: Dec 27, 2004

Peaceful beaches.
Anne and I found that the beaches here offer far more than sunbathing and people watching. They’re ideal for all kinds of water sports including swimming, surfing, windsurfing, boogie boarding, snorkeling and fishing. Whether you, you’re fanily or friends are looking for high adventure on the waves, a romantic spot to watch the sunset, or a protected swimming area for the kids, we found that it is all nearby.
An amazing memorial.

Pearl Harbour

A Hawaii Vacation is not complete without a Pearl Harbour Tour. Visitors must see one of the United States most historic memorials - USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbour.
It was early morning, December 7,1941. As the sun was just beginning to rise in Oahu, Hawaii, a fleet of Japanese naval air forces were taking off from their respective aircraft carriers in various locations in the Pacific Ocean. Just as many of the islanders were waking up for breakfast, it happened. The Japanese air fleet had arrived with a vengeance. No one was prepared for what was occurring. Pearl Harbor, the United States' center for military action in the Pacific Ocean, was almost completely destroyed. Anger toward the Japanese spread quickly throughout the entire country, and this anger led to the United States' entry into World War II.

 I worked 1 year as an interpreter aboard the Navatek, an Australian catamaran ship used for Honolulu Bay sunset dinner cruises. I'm glad to see you didn't get "ripped off" at Pearl Harbor.
