Saturday, March 1 - Pearl Harbor


Pearl Harbor was on the agenda for this morning. On the bus at 6:30 to go to the memorial. The memorial is the most visited site on the island. It is limited to 4,500 visitors per day, and they are always maxed out. The first hour is spent going through a 1 hour movie that gives a background of pearl harbor. You then go from there out to the memorial. This was quite moving. Over 1,100 crewmen are still entombed on the ship.

After Pearl Harbor, the bus did a tour of Pali Lookout Point and other sites around Honolulu. We always seem to make our way over to the beach in the afternoon. While on the beach, we met a couple of college students who gave us a bunch of tips on things to do on the other islands. We decided not to do the optional dinner theater with the tour group tonight and just went to Outback.
