USS Arizona

We visited the USS Arizona the first morning we were in Hawaii. We had to wait for an hour and a half until we could watch the film and then take the boat ride to the memorial. It was a very moving experience. Oil still leaks from at least two places. You only get to spend approx. 10-20 min. on the memorial. It was a very quiet place. We came away with a deeper appreciation for our country and those who have defended and continue to defend our freedom.

Hey girl, looks like you and Rhonda had a great time. The fact that you all saved money for so long to do this is commendable. Not too many people are that disciplined. So I am glad you all got the chance to do this. Am very glad you finally got your blog going. I love keeping intouch with everyone, Even though I can't get EVERYONE do do one too. Oh well. Good to chat with you again. Talk soon ~Adela
