After docking in the late morning, we hustled over to Pearl Harbor to get some of the last tickets for the day to the Arizona Memorial. As you can see, the weather was picture perfect, mid 70's, few clouds in the sky (Just wanted to throw that in for the friends and family suffering with the temps in the below zero range -- we drank a Mai Tai for you last night!) 
While we were waiting for our trip over to the Memorial, we went to visit the USS Missouri -- which is positioned not far from the Arizona. Here's George in front of the ship. In the background, are the beautiful mountains of Oahu -- What a glorious place on a day like today! The tour of the ship was really something. Everything in tip top shape!
Today we're off to Lahaina -- more Mai Tais and a visit to the Grand Wailea! Maloha!

Ann & George,
Looks like a great trip so far! Great to see a picture of the bow of BB63 - the Missouri certainly has its place in history. The Japanese surrender was to be signed on the Commander of the Seventh Fleet's flagship, the NJ, but since Truman was from "Missoura," he wanted it on the Big Mo!
Enjoy Tahiti and keep those Makers Mark Manhattans flowing!!!
