Day Four: Pearl Harbor

Dear Everyone,

Today we spent most of the day at Pearl Harbor. What a sobering place to visit, but so much a part of our history. Approximately 2,400 American soldiers lost their lives there.

“Yesterday, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”

Tomorrow morning we fly out of Honolulu at 9:30 AM on Air New Zealand for a 9 hour flight to Auckland. So, we sadly say “Aloha” to our trip down memory lane in Hawaii.
