We get up literally at the crack of dawn and set off in search of Pearl Harbor. We find it with ease and make our way through the entrance - it's pretty busy even at this early hour. We are directed towards the museums as a starting point - these are free and give really good insight into the lead up to and occurances on that day - it's shocking and sad to hear how there were so many warnings, they knew the jap planes weren't at their base and saw an influx of p...

As Jacq stupidly wandered around in shorts last night she has woken to 5 massive mosquito bites and is not impressed. Regardless, today is the day we decide to hire a car and tour the island more. First stop is the lighthouse where 50 first dates had a memorable scene, obligatory re-enactment - tick! It's a 90 minute hike though and with last night affects still lingering it's not the nicest for Jacq who moans and moans baked in the heat - Matts having a great ti...

Great day ahead we decide to top up the tans by the pool and chill. After an hours rest we head towards the beach trip stopping at a swanky hotel for a drink by the beach with a Hawaian singer entertaining the posh "we don't clap" people. We find another bar, yes it's that kinda day, and stop for a couple of beers listening to a Hawaiin duo perform somewhere over the rainbow and it's a wonderful world - it's class! We stop then at the Hard Rock Cafe for happy ho...

We wake up to the most beautiful view of the harbour and beach - so lucky! The room is great. Spacious with a kitchenette and as were on a budget it's off to the shops to stock up! We spend $140 on the weeks supplies amazed altogether at the price of drink here - 1.75 litres of Smirnoff $13 - unbelievable! Jacqs mum would pass out! We head back, unload and make tracks for the Hilton Hawaian Village which apparently hosts a great Luah! The village is pure luxur...

Soooo excited!! We drop off the camper and make tracks for the airport boarding around 11am. The plane is great, really comfortable and were delighted to discover it's unlimited drinks (dangerous) and the food is not too shabby! We aren't sat together though, Jacqs a row infront of Matt and makes friends with a Hawaiian teacher called Kay whose been on a programme in new Zealand. We have unlimited movies also and indulge In the Hobbit trilogy for the journey onl...
