Just a month ago, I went on my first skydiving experience with Skydive Hawaii. They're located at Dillingham airfield, which is in the middle of nowhere, but they provide a free shuttle if you don't have your own transportation. I'd recommend booking online as it is only $150. They also offer pic…

I was given surf lessons a fo my 42nd birthday. I had tried to learn before with other comapnies, but to no avail. I figured, one last shot.
I thank God that I did. First, the emphasis was on safety and the land lesson was comprehensive and not rushed. Second, the locations where the lessons …

Well what can I say about Pearl Harbour.
If you have the opportunity to go to Hawaii please make the effort to go to the island of Oahu and check out Pearl Harbour.
The USS Arizona was one of the highlights of the trip. While waiting for the tour to start, depending on the time of year and wh…

One of Oahu’s prime attractions is the snorkeling wonderland of Hanauma Bay. A short drive from Honolulu (you will pass through a lot of wild neighborhoods around Diamond Head en route), the nature preserve is 10 miles east of Waikiki just off the main coastal road (Kalaniana'ole Highway, Route 7…

I have been very fortunate to have been stationed out here at one of the Navy's most historic bases, Pearl Harbor. The events that occured here on December 7th of 1941 is one of the prime reasons I chose to enlist in the Navy. I have visited the USS Arizona many times, it has become a ritual. I g…

Out of all the times I've been to Hawaii, I really never did anything touristy, due to the fact that my family are locals. Well, in July of 2003, I decided to venture off by myself to do something on the island I had not done before. Diamond Head Crater seemed like a good choice. I find volcanoes…

What is a trip to Hawaii without the visiting Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial? Out of respect this memorial should be visited. My best advice to give you, get there extremely early. We arrived at 8:30 in the morning and got to see the 8th show. The tickets are first come, first serve so if you…

If you make it to Honolulu Hawaii, you gotta make time for Kailua Beach. I've actually been around the entire island, it doesn't actually take as long as you would think. Lots to see and do, but Kailua beach stole my heart. Have a romantic picnic on the sand, or just bask in the sun and take in the …
