day 6

Friday morning we flew over to Oahu to see the Battleship Missouri Memorial and USS Arizona Memorial (Pearl Harbor).  We are SO glad we did. It was well worth the long day. We left Maui at 8:00 AM and got back to our hotel at 9:00 PM.  We did a guided tour that also took us through Punchbowl Cemetery, along with going to Waikiki (which seemed as busy as Chicago).  Garfield (bus tour guide) was VERY knowledgeable with his information.


 USS Arizona Memorial


 at the Arizona Visitors center
 USS Arizona
 part of the actual USS Arizona that is exposed. Oil is still surfacing from the leak.
 this wall is the names of people that died
 on the USS Missouri- on this spot is where the surrender was signed
 looking back at the USS Missouri- cool with all the American Flags
 after we toured both memorials we got back on the bus and did a tour of Honolulu.  This is a government building but this is shown in Hawaii five-0 show.
 blurry picture- but this is Dog the Bounty Hunters office, that we drove by.
 We drove though Punchbowl cemetery
