The photos we took over Pearl Harbor are some of the best photos we have from this trip.

I wanted to hike Diamond Head, but I fell pretty bad a week before our trip, and even though I didn’t need surgery- I definitely could say good bye to hiking. Didn’t hike it, but saw it from up there, and believe me I don’t regret it!

The flight was great, I loved the sights and our pilot was a really nice person to fly with. Didn’t like the fact that the check in took almost the same amount of time as the flight, but safety comes first! Next time I’ll book a longer flight.
