Oct 2005
In Sept/Oct, Lisa and I used up some of our frequent flier miles and traveled to Hawaii. We first arrived on the island of Oahu and stayed there a few days. We then flew to the island of Kauai for a few days. After Kauai, we returned to Oahu for a few days before our wonderful vacation came to an end.
We had a wonderful vacation. If you haven't been to Hawaii, you need to go! Above is Hanauma Bay, a cool little place on Oahu to swim and snorkel. You can see all the reefs in the water so there are lots of fish to check out.
If on Oahu, you have to visit Pearl Harbor and pay respects to the USS Arizona.

From the air, you can see the outlines of the ship.
Some parts of the ship stick out of the water
Oil is still leaking from the ship into the water.
This ship wasn't here the last time I was in Hawaii. This is the battleship where the Japanese surrendered World War II. We took a tour of the battleship.

Check out the size of the big guns above Lisa!!!
The third ship we toured in Pearl Harbor is the submarine USS Bowfin.
