After visiting the Arizona, we bought tickets (rather expensive) to see the USS Missouri. The price was really worth it though to see where the Japanese surrendered to Gen. Macarthur and take a tour and explore the ship on our own. We got a pic of the document of surrendur and the captain's quarters. The other pic is a shot from the visitors center looking out over Pearl Harbor.Read more

The Missouri was controversially chosen by Truman to be the ship that staged the surrender of the Japanese (most felt it should be a ship that was stationed in Pearl Harbor during the attack). The Missouri was later used in the Korean War and the Gulf War before being retired to Pearl Harbor. We enjoyed checking out the way those guys lived while at sea and seeing the old computers from the early 90's. I'm depressed that is considered "old" now. Of course, Carole found a spelling error.Read more

On Tuesday night we had Helena's Hawaiian food for dinner. We both thought it was a bit overrated, but they were very nice when we told them we were first timers. Later that night and again Wednesday morning we headed to Waikiki Beach. We met some of Carole's coworkers Tuesday night and just hung out at the beach Wednesday morning and early afternoon before having to head back to the airport to head home.Read more
