Carol we have been to Hawaii twice when we were younger. First time was my r&r from
Vietnam and my wife came to meet me. Since finding sxm, I have no reason personally to return. That being said,Pearl Harbor is a must. Also,you should visit Punchbowl Crater. It is a national military cemetery. There is a very large,beautiful cut glass mural showing many of the battles at sea of WWII.
Good luck with your plans.
