6 am, standing on a street corner, waiting for a pick up for today's activities. This feels weird.......
At Pearl
Harbor Memorial at sunrise. Powerful. Once again, I'm in awe of my father,
family members and veterans who fought, suffered and died for the rest
of us. I
have vague memories of being here as a child but I had no real
understanding of it. It's emotional at the least, glad I made this part
of my adventure.

Awesome day exploring Oahu today. Pearl Harbor Memorial, pineapple
fields, North Shore with its beautiful beaches and small Hawaiian towns, went up into the Diamond Head crater. An amazing day today, beginning with a
pickup on the street corner at 6:15 am, ugh! I'm not a morning person
but it was worth it. First stop Pearl Harbor Memorial for sunrise.
Such an emotional and humbling experience. The military personnel and
civilians must have thought the world came to an end that morning.
We
then started around the island, making an entire loop. The pineapple
fields, the North Shore beaches and towns, and Diamond Head..... I saw a side of
Oahu that is so different from the metropolitan area of Honolulu and
Waikiki Beach. People are so friendly and warm. I wore my Bazinga
shirt and it proved to be a great ice breaker. Everyone knows Sheldon!
I returned
and finished the evening settled on Waikiki Beach watching a beautiful sunset.
