I stayed at a hotel overlooking Diamond Head. There was lots of sand, sun and fun while on this trip. It always rained for 15 minutes it seemed at the same time every morning around 9 a.m. We rented a car and met this other young couple who was on the same flight as we were and went to see the pineapple Dole Plantation. Do you know it is cheaper to buy pineapple in the United States than there in Hawaii. At least back in 1975 it was.
As you can see below in the picture of the USS Arizona a monument to the Navy crew that died on board. We never boarded it but through the harbor where the Japanese bombed December 7, 1941.
On the way to Pearl Harbor the water was very rough and I almost along with everyone else got sea sick. The first reaction before taking off for the harbor was seeing the people on the boat as there were a lot of Japanese taking the tour.
At the end of our trip we went to a Luau which was held inside a hotel not on the beach. A Hawaian singer who was from the TV series "Hawaii Five O" who acted on the show sang and we had pictures taken with him. I think if I had a chance to go back to Hawaii I would not go as the turbulence on the airplane in flight was drastic and all I could see was water for what seemed like hours.
