Pearl Harbor/Honolulu/Waikiki

October 8, 2006

Sunrise over Honolulu, Waikiki, and Diamond Head

Sunrise at the same site without us in it

Honolulu early in the morning

Next to the USS Arizona's anchor at Pearl Harbor

At Pearl Harbor with the memorial behind us

Taking the boat over to the memorial

And here's the memorial

The ship is a lot closer to the surface than I imagined

USS Arizona...very sad

See the ship?

Maybe we shouldn't be smiling?

The inside of the memorial is really cool

All the names of the people who died are on the wall

Here is Punchbowl National Cemetery in Honolulu

Honolulu from the top of the cemetery hill

More Honolulu

Iolani Palace; one of 2 residences of royalty in the USA

In front of Iolani Palace, where Hawaiian royalty lived

They were cleaning the King Kamehameha Statue :(

We drove to the top of Diamond Head crater

Looking down, you can see the surfers

Back at the harbor, we walked through the financial district

Took a bus to Waikiki. We saw a wedding at the Hilton!

Erin and flamingos

Orchids everywhere

If only we could stay at the Hilton and not just walk through it

Erin really liked the Hilton; and Waikiki in general

Looking down Waikiki beach to Diamond Head crater

Erin and Matt at Waikiki/Diamond Head

Then it got really crowded quickly as we walked

Went to Royal Hawaiian for a drink - look what Grandpa got!

Erin got a Mai Tai

Group shot! Loved the Royal Hawaiian Resort

Continuing to walk through Waikiki

Good shot of Diamond Head

Erin and Matt at Waikiki

Duke Kahanamoku Statue on Waikiki Beach
