Let me tell you, pineapple in Hawaii is NOTHING like what is imported here. I am not a fan of pineapple at all, but dang it’s the best in Hawaii! I really wish I had bought some to ship home like everyone else, but I had no idea that you are not able to get the product of Hawaii here; instead it’s the product of Honduras. I mean, really we can’t even ship and purchase food made in the US! We tried the maze, one of the largest in the States, but couldn't even find it to the first point.

Hawaii Part 1
The new few posts will be all about our trip to Hawaii! I am finally sitting down and going through all the pictures. I hope I can remember everything from them so I can share it all with you. Most of the post will be pictures with captions just to make it easier. Hope you enjoy!
We stayed at the Ilikai Hotel. It is one of the older hotels on Waikiki Beach, but the rooms are HUGE. I completely forgot to take a picture of ours. The bathrooms were roomy too; two showers.
The next few pictures are the view from our room.
The Hilton was next door to us. Instead of having their Luau on the beach they had it on the rooftop of their parking deck. We could view it from our balcony each night. I think I would be very disappointed if I was paying the money to stay at the Hilton and this was my luau.
Right before getting on the tour bus to go to Pearl Harbor.
The Punchbowl; National Cemetery.
I picked a bad seat on the bus and when you are on the tour bus you can’t stop while in the Punchbowl.
The USS Arizona Memorial
I was VERY disappointment that the water was muddy that day. They had been getting lots of rain in the mountains so it was muddy running off the mountains. All we could see was the parts still above water.
We were still able to see the oil coming up from the ship. Still makes me sad that we were not able to see the full ship.
