We waited 40 years for a honeymoon and I can say it was worth the wait. We had a wonderful trip to Oahu and Maui. Everything was beautiful, romantic and so fun! Our first two days were spent in Honolulu where we stayed in the Waikiki area.
Steve and I shared a “Hawaii 5-0 drink.

The first full day we were in Honolulu we took a tour of Pearl Harbor which included a visit to the Arizona Memorial and the battleship USS Missouri. Very humbling to ponder the thousands of lives lost for our country at Pearl Harbor and the start of the war in the Pacific.
First two photos are of the Arizona Memorial which is built out in the water over the sunken Arizona.
The building of the USS Missouri was completed at the end of WWII and on its deck was where the Japanese surrender took place. The Missouri also was used as recently as Desert Storm. The tour we were on also took us to historical sites around Honolulu including Punchbowl Cemetery.
The second day we hiked Diamond Head which is actually a volcano crater. The view from Diamond Head was fantastic.
Walking up, up up.

Later in the day we headed for the airport for our hop on over to Maui.
