Rainbow Tower. That evening we went to a Luau; 
we had traditional Hawaiian food and watched professional dancers. Although it started raining half-way through the performance 
it was still very good, my favourite is always the dances with fire.
On the second of March, we took the city bus to Pearl Harbor where we saw the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri. 
They show you a short film about Pearl Harbor and how the attack by the Japanese was planned and carried out before taking you to the 
USS Arizona Memorial. 
The USS Missouri was very interesting, we spent five hours exploring her continuous passageways 
and deck, she was HUGE. Our tour guide, Max, 
showed us everything from her guns to her galley and brig. Although still a (decommissioned) navy ship the USS Missouri is maintained by the USS Missouri Memorial Association and permanently docked at Pearl Harbor to commemorate the ending of WWII because the Formal Instrument of Surrender was signed on her deck on September 2nd 1945.

and the 
Pacific Aviation Museum while I layed in the sun and went swimming at the hotel.

P.S. Sorry I haven't written in so long, can't believe the Hilton doesn't have free internet in the rooms.
