Ok... I dug a little deeper and it seems that there are a few other memorials that are all quite close. I would like to do the package deal which includes: USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin, USS Oklahoma, and the Pacific Aviation Museum. Could make for a really great day!

This is where we are going to swim with dolphins. I have us booked for our "Dolphin Royal Swim" at 1:15pm... but it would be nice to get up, have a relaxing breakfast... head to the park and see whats there, as they open at 10:30, before our scheduled time... then have the rest of the day and evening free.

We are going to do this on Dec. 27th, submarine ride in the morning at 11:00 am and dinner cruise at 5:30 in the evening. The port is right out our hotel on the beach so it won't be far to go in the morning. Dinner leaves from Pier 6.

Talk about this trip (1)
If you notice, there is nothing "scheduled" for day 2, day 4 or day 9. Day two I thought we would want to sleep in and get used to the time change. Also have lots of time to explore the area. Day four is Christmas and I thought us just hanging out together on the beach, doing a whole lot of nothing sounds great! Day 9 is the day we come home, we don't leave until 10pm so we can fill the day with lots of final sight seeing. All of the days that do have something planned the activities don't really take up the whole day. The submarine is something in the morning and again at night, with the middle of the day free. Diamond Head is just the morning, Sea Life Park will depend on when we can schedule the dolphin swim and how long we take at the rest of the park. There is alot of open free time, so if there is something that you would like to do that I haven't mentioned please let us know and we can find a way to work it in too! I know it looks like a lot but we will be able to do this and alot more, plus a whole lot of relaxing too!
