Aloha, If you plan on visiting Hawaii you may find these maps useful. They are attached here but you can also find them on my website. www.hamradiohawaii.com
It has been my dream to visit Pearl Harbor and and the sites related to the attack on 7 December, 1941. I don't much care for the beaches and the "usual" tourist traps; I just want to pay a visit to the Arizona and pay respects to those who died there. Oh, well, budget just doesn't permit it yet. I keep hoping..................
That is the best part of Hawaii IMO and is well worth the visit. Just check before you come over to make sure they are not under repair. The Arizona was closed for about 6 months and just open back recently. I never go to the beach.
I recently watched a program about exploring inside the Arizona. I saw the touching film of the dress uniform still hanging in the closet after 75 years. A friend of my Dad's was there that day (has passed on). He ended up swimming to shore after being burned. Listening to him tell about the experience and seeing the Bataan Death March on TV convinced me at an early age, I would never own a Japanese car. I haven't. I really want to go, but I'm just not that financially able. I keep hoping, tho!
