Honolulu

We took a VIP tour with a company called "Home of the Brave". This is the young man that took us on the tour. This family has collected WWII memorabilia for many years. They have a museum set up in downtown Honolulu.

A view of Honolulu, and Diamond Head in the distance.

The Punch Bowl. It over looks the city and was very beautiful. It is a fitting monument and resting place for the men and women of the service.

The Arizona. The memorial for the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is beautiful and very quiet.

This was the last stop in the Hawaiian Islands. Four days, four islands. It would have been nice to spend more time. They is so many wonderful things to see and do. Each time we go, one more thing is crossed off my list. I had never visited the Punch Bowl. It was a beautiful visit, even though it was short.

I am still catching up. When you are gone for 30 days so many things change. My husband was great in taking care of the bills. Yea!!! Have to catchup on my siggies. Now I can send e-mails to see of more ladies would like to trade with me. I loved reading the letters and receiving the siggies from about 20 ladies while I was gone. I am so glad I am participating in the "International Siggie Exchange". Several magazine have come while I was gone, so have a lot of reading material. The dining room table is a mess with my mail sorted all over it.

I feel like I want to clean out and up my sewing room. Christmas is coming. I have Christmas cards to make, and all my card things to organize. I even found some scrapbooking things from Hawaii and the South Pacific. I still have to go through my pictures to see which ones I would like to print and put in an album.

Enough for tonight. Now to sort through the things from the South Pacific Islands. ( I am still unpacking my suitcase, and working on laundry.)
