On Nov. 18, 2009 we arrived in HI in the afternoon. Jim & Myrna met us at the airport, guided us to the shuttle that would take us to the car rental place and then guided us to our hotel in Waikiki.

The next day Helmut and I struck out on our own to visit the most important historical spot in HI - PEARL HARBOR. With the map and the good road signs we were able to find it without trouble.

The Common Myna bird is very frequently seen all around the place.

















The park area of Pearl Harbor has many items used during the II WW on display. So we used our waiting time before viewing the Arizona Memorial to inspect all of the out door displays.

Before being taken to the Arizona memorial by a cruise boat we were able to view a video and hear some one tell a little of the history of the attack.
