My wife & I & some of the family attended our Daughter's wedding on the beach at Oahu Hawaii, I had not flown since around 1970, so was a little nervous. :P
The bride had a bouquet of Orchids, & the Minister blew a 'Conch shell", it was a very nice wedding, with the sound of the waves, & the trade winds blowing the palm trees.
we also drove around most of the island, seeing sea turtles, whales, exotic birds, (we woke each morning to their sounds).
We snorkeled, swam, rode 'boogie boards', & ate at several nice places, plus took lots & lots of pic's.
I got to visit the Arizona Memorial & the Battleship Missouri where the treaty ending WW2 was signed, it was special to stand where Mcarthur stood, (I marched in his funeral procession) up Pennslyvania Ave in the 1960's.
We also saw a Hawaiian funeral where they took the ashes out past the island called 'Chinamans hat,' (pic of boat with flag), the music was 'hauntingly beautiful'.
It was the (Trip of a lifetime) for a land-lubber from the Heartland.
