The day started out bright and early with a great breakfast by the beach. While eating we decided that we would spend the day exploring the island and would start by visiting Pearl Harbor. When we arrived back at the hotel our silver Mustang Conve
rtible was waiting for us with the top down - with a quick glance at the map we were off.
Pearl Harbor was an amazing experience. Mardell and I decided to visit the Bowfin Submarine, the Aviation Museum, and the
Missouri ship. It was unbelievable and amazing to see the history that remained on those ships and to see the memorabilia showcased in the museum. After spending a few hours exploring we decided to move on with our day - but will hopefully make it back before we leave to visit the Arizona Memorial.
After leaving Pearl Harbor we drove up the road to the Aloha Stadium where there was an amazing flea market - which I definitely enjoyed much more than Mardee!! I tried to remember there wasn't much room for souvenirs to keep myself from buying up everything... and Mardell was just ready to get back to driving the car.
When Mardell finally got me away from the flea market we went towards the middle of the island to visit the Dole pineapple plantation. We opted not to do the worlds biggest maze and settled for a train ride around the plantation where we saw all of the pineapples, banana trees, and many different BEAUTIFUL plants. Lucky for us we choose the train because by the time
we returned to the train entrance it was raining and had we went into the maze we would have been soaked and not even half way through.
The rest of the evening was great. We completed our way around the island - stopping at many different beaches where we searched for shells, discovered local villages, enjoyed road side fruit stands, and took in the amazing scenery. Everything about the day was perfect - back home Mardell and I often dream drive and it doesn't get any better than dream driving in paradise.
