My husband Iggy and I spent a few days on the island of Oahu, staying on Waikiki Beach.

Pearl Harbor touched me the most. Especially the artifacts of the dead.

We ate our first Hawaiian-style meal at Helena’s.

The story of an attempt to betroth a Hawaiian princess to a Japanese prince fascinated me at the Bishop Museum.
