My trip to Hawaii

Aloha!My trip to Hawaii,Oahu was awesome!!!Iwent to so many places.Hawaii is 3 hours behind us,so when I got on the plane it was 11:00a.m. but when I got there it was only 1:00p.m.I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort.When I got there I went swimming.We also bought food,snorkeling supplies,and sunscreen.The next day we went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.I saw many different kinds of fish.We even saw a squid!We saw no sea turtles though.I learned that Honu,pronounced "hon",means turtle.It was extremely fun.




The next day I went to Dole Pineapple Plantation.I went into THE WORLD'S LARGEST MAZE!!!!!!I also ate pineapple ice cream.It was the best pineapple ice cream in the world!In the afternoon I went to the Polynesian Cultural Center.I learned about the tribes in Hawaii.They were called Hawaii,Tonga,Tahiti,Samoa,Fiji,and Aotearoa.Bula Vinaka means "hello and good health" in Fijian.




The next day I went to Pearl Harbor.it was really cool.I saw different types of torpedoes and cannons.I sat on some cannons.I also used the perescopes and went in to a model control center.I also went on and into the USS Bowfin.It was awesome!!!When I got of the Bowfin,I watched a movie on The bombing of Pearl Harbor.Then I went on a boat to the USS Arizona Memorial,built directly on the remaining parts of the Arizona.




On the last day,I went to Diamond Head Park.I climbed Diamond Head Mountain which was 769 feet high plus 279 stairs to the top, WITH SANDALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Well,that's the end of my trip to Hawaii,Oahu.If you ever go there,I hope you will have the same good time as I did!
