Aloha! We finally arrived in the United States, the last country on our journey and not the least!
Our 5 days Hawaii on the island of Oahu went well under the sun and heat. Our hotel was in Waikiki, where lies the most famous beach in Hawaii. Waikiki is a very clean city, the beach is lovely, there are plenty of luxury hotels (including a huge complex Hilton) and this is very jet set! We enjoyed the beach, the hotel pool and walk around town!
We also jumped at the chance to visit Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attack Dec. 7, 1941 caused the U.S. entry in the 2nd World War. After a museum and a film summary on the history of Pearl Harbour we took a ferry to the Arizona Memorial (which is the water above the sunken wreck of the ship of the same name in which more than 1,700 people perished in that fateful day). Then we visited the boat named Missouri, heavily damaged during the attack but remained in service until 1992. This historic day was very interesting.
Otherwise we have not hung with specially Hawaii (but we just stayed in Waikiki which may explain our disappointment). Despite all our five days were very enjoyable!
We fly tomorrow for a good lap in the American West: to We Los Angeles, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon! Back
J-22 ...
