Our first day in Hawaii........first sunset and great times with good friends!

It has been a life long dream for me to go to Hawaii. I finally made it. It was amazing. Who ever tells you that Hawaii isn't all it is cracked up to be is lying to you. It was everything and more than I could have ever imagined. I am sure that the company had a lot to do with it. I only wish I could have brought ALL 4 of my children with me...........that would have made it even better! But a big thank you goes out to Richard who was the best host we could have ever imagined. He went way above board and beyond any expectations we could have EVER had in making sure our Hawaii experience was a good one! Thank you thank you! Yep I plan to go again. There are still islands I haven't seen and I can so why not?? :)

Pearl Harbor What a sobering experience!!!

It is amazing to me when you get over to the Arizona, you can smell oil very strongly. When you go through these pictures you will see an oil spot that I took a picture of, they call it the tears of the Arizona. This ship was sunk 67 years ago and there is still oil seeping out of it! Sad to think of the 1177 young men who lost their lives that day! As Roosevelt said, a day that will go down in enfamy. A day much like september 11th 2002. May we always cherrish our freedom and those who fight for it!
