Day 2
Honolulu
After breakfast, pick up from the hotel and begin to experience the symbolic ‘bookends’ of World War II in the Pacific. In the early morning, you’ll head toward Pearl Harbor to explore the Pacific Historic Parks Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Later you’ll board the nearby USS Missouri, which stands watch over its sunken sister ship. Here you’ll learn about “Mighty Mo’s” wartime history. This includes serving as the site where Imperial Japan formally surrendered to the Allies in Tokyo Bay. As you explore this ship, you’ll see a signed copy of the surrender document that ended the war. Upon leaving Pearl Harbor, you’ll travel through downtown Honolulu. As you do so, you’ll learn about Hawaii’s history as a monarchy, a territory and eventually America’s 50th state.
