Waikiki Beach is a very beautiful beach, and it is very tourist-oriented. The major shopping places are across the street from the beach, like The Body Shop. The things I remember most about that beach are the wave currents and surfing. The waves there were very strong. I was not able to stay in the water for a very long time. Surfing is a huge activity at Waikiki Beach. I saw this man teaching someone how to surf.

This was a very informative experience. There was a video that we had to watch in order to learn about Pearl Harbor. I learned so much about it. There is also a museum in Pearl Harbor...there is an opening where you could see the remnants of the old USS Arizona.

Luau

Story/Tip

We went to two luaus during our week in Hawaii. Luaus are quite an experience. There was a ceremony for the pig. The ceremony at the first luau brought out something that looked like a pig, but it seemed very messed up. It looked as if the meat was off the bones. The pig in the second luau looked more like a pig. Anyway, the food was great.
