Oahu
Okay fine, this is a little touristy and yes, the fine people of Dole exploited the Hawaiian people for their land and labor but my goodness….. a fresh pineapple sure tastes good right? And what could be better than eating a fresh pineapple right off the bush? Take that pure pineapple and add high fructose syrup, sugar and freeze it. Voila! One of the best treats on earth! It’s so good that they sell it at Disney Land.
I had a great time and facility! I would recommend stopping by for a quick once-over even if you don’t have children make the trek, ride the little choo-choo train and consume some sugar.
At the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, you can still see the “tears of the Arizona” drops of oil slowly seeping up from the sunken battleship since December 7, 1941, when Japanese forces launched a surprise attack that pulled the United States into World War II. That rainbow sheen on the water is a haunting reminder that over a thousand sailors went down with the ship that morning on a day that President Roosevelt called “a date which will live in infamy.” More than eight decades later, the Arizona still weeps in silence.
