O'ahu - Day 7

After spending 5 days on Hawai'i, we wanted to explorer this island to compare and contrast. Late last night, Josh and Caroline showed up from the mainland, so they joined us for the day before heading off to the Lopers.

First we hit the USS Arizona Memorial. Very moving. We spent a couple hours here in the museum and out on the memorial.

Since we had a few hours to kill before the Turpens flew out, we drove up to the North Shore and saw the famous surf area. Then we came down the east coast and cut back over to Honolulu.

After we dropped off Turpens at the airport, we drove over to the west side of the island and were greeted by the poverty side. There were people living in make shift tents right on the beach. I can think of worse places on the planet to be homeless, but it was still sad. Then we dropped off the rental car and hopped on the flight back to Vegas at 10:30pm.
