Honolulu, Oahu
Kimberly Harding
We were up
early and had breakfast in the windjammer. We did the Arizona Memorial and
Oahu sightseeing tour through the ship and had to be in the terminal by
7:15AM. We all lined up and boarded a coach bus and went straight to Pearl
Harbor. We had an hour to wait for our group to be called for the movie so
we walked around and took pictures and looked at the small museum that
they had. Then at 9AM we were called into the theater to watch a 20 minute
film about the events leading up to the attack in Pearl Harbor and
actually footage from the attacks. We then boarded a small boat and were
taken out to the memorial. You could still see the oil on top of the
water. It was very emotional seeing the ship still there. We then boarded
the small boat and headed back to the main building. From there we all
meet our bus driver and re-boarded the bus. The driver then drove us
around the island point out several things and making stops at the Napali
Lookout, Ionali Place and the original statue of King Kamehameha. We also
drove through Chinatown before getting off at the pier.
