Flag of United States Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, United States
Saturday, January 12, 2008

Bit pushed for time this evening to write as have to head of to Cirque Hawaii shortly. Josh is just about to come out of the pool and is pushing it. Have internet access on this level although not the one the hotel provides (for a rip off fee).

We went to Pearl Harbor today. Decided to book a return trip on the VIP buses rather than get the public transport, only a few dollars more and saved an hour each way on the trip. We got to the USS Arizona place, got our tickets for our tour and had nearly 2 hours before it started to headed to the USS Bowfin (think that's what it was called). It was a submarine that served during WW2. We boarded that and did the narrative audio tour. Took lots of pics too as thought that would interest Ross. Don't know how Ross did it though, being away for all that time in those confided spaces, they need a medal alone just for living on a sub. Tour was interesting. Josh loved it, seeing the big guns and the torpedos etc. Typical boy.

After there we headed back to the USS Arizona and saw the movie presentation then took the boat out to the memorial. Seemed funny being there with so many Japanese around too. Very solemn, what a horrible event to have taken place and to have wiped out so many lives in such a short time. Spent time after that too going through the museum.

Have come back to the hotel and organised to go to the Cirque Hawaii tonight, Alisha should enjoy that and tomorrow is going to be a relaxing day, will just spend it down the beach and Nicole is hoping to surf.

Anyway, better go back up to the room and get myself organised, need to brush the hair (we are all in need of hair cuts) and put on some fresh lippy!

Catch ya's all in a few days time,

Aloha,
Hawaiian Woolfes!

Aloha to you too!
Wow, I can't believe your trip is nearly over. What are we going to read next week? I have been looking forward to your emails each week and have really enjoyed the pictures. Sounds as though Hawaii is lovely and warm...just getting you prepared for arriving back home in Adelaide. At least the weather here won't be quite so hot for your arrival home. Are you sure you are going to be able to fit everything in to bring back home? Sounds as though you will definitely need a few cars to pick you up also. We hope you have a safe trip home to Adelaide and we look forward to hearing more and seeing heaps of pictures when you get yourselves sorted out back home. Love, Robyn, Gary, Victoria, Tayla xxxxx

PS Met Josh's new school teacher and his family today at lunch. They have 2 boys, aged 6 and 9. The older one, David will be in Joshuas class at school and they will be attending our Church also. Bye.
