Re: Pearl Harbor
The Arizona Memorial is free and there are no reservations. Arrive early or be prepared to spend a couple of hours waiting for your assigned time. Also, expect a lot of construction. The main facility is slowly sinking and will eventually be demolished and replaced by a larger building. Remember that you can't bring bags into the Arizona Memorial, and leaving anything in your car is an invitation to get ripped off. Leave everything at your hotel, leave early, but definitely go.

All we took was a camera, wallet and the BUS! Showed up at 15minutes to 8am and waited about 45 minutes and got right on in. By the time we were in there was no more room for anyone else for the day!
And we went on a Wed. so we could go to the stadium afterwards.Since when is psycho a bad thing??

Re: Pearl Harbor
Oddly enough, in all my trips to O`ahu, I have yet to go there. Time is usually taken up with all the visits to the AF's family (as well as some work stuff), that it's rare that I get to play tourist. But I would like to visit Pearl Harbor someday.

Re: Pearl Harbor
I haven't been yet either and I have lived just up the road from PH for almost 2 years!
The long lines always put me off!! But thanks for the advice and hopefully I can take my kids along soon.
When we lived in Japan, we visited the Peace Parks & A-bomb museums in both Nagasaki & Hiroshima so this will close the circle for us.Toku toa, he toa rangatira ~ He whakatauki

Re: Pearl Harbor
When we first visited Hawaii back in '89 we had no plans on going. My father made me promise we would visit for him. To this day it is still one of the most moving and emotional things my husband and I have done. Do not miss it. But be prepared for the emotional toll it will take.

Re: Pearl Harbor
Off topic but on a close tangent, if you have time take in the film at the Iolani Palace re the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. I'm not Hawaiian and used to think 'yeah yeah' but after you see the film you'll get an understanding of why the Hawaiians feel the way they do. I came out of the theatre crying.
