Preparing for our journey

We are making the final lists, packing our one bag (damn baggage fees), and trying to decide what to do while we are there. So far we have the following plans:

• Pearl Harbor (all day): USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin, USS Missouri, USS Oklahoma Memorial
• Beach Day (all day): Snorkeling in a lagoon, Waikiki Beach (hope it is really crowded and gross)
• Drive Around The Island Day: It is impossible to see it all in a short trip, but this will take us along the island's "spine", to the North Shore for lunch, and then around the eastern coast. We will pass the Polynesian Center. Wish we had the time to spend a whole day there.
• Quiet Day of Beach and Pool lounging followed by a surprise "Night Trip"
• Then it is off to Hawaii (The Big Island). There we stay at the Volcano House. It is a historic hotel inside the Volcano National Park. It is literally on the rim of a volcano. 20 years ago, there were active steam vents along the edges of the hotels property. Hope they are still there. Hopefully, we will feel an earthquake while we are there.
• We will have two days on Hawaii. Most of it will be spent trying to take in the volcanic wonders of this island. We may sneak away for a drive around the island.

Give us a shout if we are missing something that is a "can't miss". Remember, we will have to cancel something (quiet day is not negotiable).

Any restaurant suggestions? We have the Oceanarium Restaurant on the list.
