The beaches at Hawaii are really too gorgeous to be real.. I love the waves, the beautiful people that are strutting around with their surfboards, children laughing gleefully as the mini waves sweep them to shore... Hawaii is the place I wanna go back the most.. There's still so many islands of beautiful beaches to be explored...
A rainbow! But unfortunately, the light drizzle resulted in my face being blurred. =(
We were at the beach for 3 of the 4 days that we were in Honolulu and these 4 days were the happiest I have ever seen Lin be. =)
*** Pearl Harbor
Me and my battalion of 2 kids who were ignoring me...
Pearl Harbor was incredibly quiet and peaceful. So serene that it was hard to imagine that half a century ago, drones and drones of kamikaze planes dove down into the ships that were dorked here.
The USS Arizona, which was sunk in just 9 minutes. The bodies were never recovered and they constructed a memorial diagonally across the sunken ship, which became the eternal tomb for some 1000+ sailors and marines that died on 7 December, 1941.
That's one of the turrets of the USS Arizona.
( I like that "goofy" guy. haha)
It was a pretty moving experience onboard the USS Arizona Memorial. You don't have to be an American to feel their grief over what happened.
The battleship had just topped up its fuel on that fateful day and even till this day, petrol still leaks out from this fallen ship.
The USS Missouri, where World War II came to an end. The Japanese signed their surrender on the deck of this battleship on September 2, 1945.
*** There's Never a Good Time to Say Goodbye
The last American sunset finally set on us on the 15th of July. It was a sad feeling knowing that it was time for us to head back home to Singapore. It's not that we didn't miss our families and friends, but these 2 months were really really awesome.
We saw something new every day. It certainly wasn't easy travelling to so many states with our heavy luggages. Altogether, we boarded 12 planes in that 2 months alone, but the adrenaline of discovering new things with each other drove us on every single day.
There's never a good time to say goodbye, but I'm sure I will be back one day. =)
( I love the Hawaiin car plate!)
