Touching, even for non "history buffs"

I'm not even into history... AT ALL. But my husband and I were going to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and when you are flying from the Eastern US the whole way to Hawaii, you gotta go to Pearl Harbor while you're there. Seeing all the artifacts, hearing the stories on the headphones, and seeing the oil bubble up was just touching. Its hard ...
I went there as a very young lady. I can remember the boat trip over and how quiet everyone was. We were listening to the guide telling us of the story of what happened here on the day so long ago. He was so good at story telling that you could almost see it happening around you. As we arrived at the memorial things were dead quiet. The memorial ...

Hawaii Review
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/25/08
It was awesome! The hotel was the best Hotel I've ever been to in the last 6 years.I wish of coming back and staying in that Hotel again.
disliked the long wait but understood why. my Father was in Pearl Harbor and was very proud of his service there.so it meant alot to me and my daughter was also with me too.this year i plan on taking my son too
A place to remember. Movie is sad. Worth the money. Remember! It's in the history. In my opinion, this is only good for young adults and above. Young kids doesn't really realize the importance of this place yet plus you really have to be quiet at all times.

Piece of History

We spent the better part of the day here and really enjoyed it all. Do go first thing in the morning to be ahead of the crowds. Really brought WWII history home to us. Do take the tour of the Bowfin sub - amazing, and the USS Missouri.
This is absolutly amazing!! We hesitated to be on the bus by 6:00 am while we were on vacation, but, both of us are sooooooooooooo glad that we hit the bus that morning. There is nothing that explains this besides.........Absolutly Amazing!!!!!!!
Pearl Harbor was so touching and really nice. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I would highly recommend getting there as early as possible to fight the crowd. Going with a tour bus would probably help you manage you schedule efficiently.
