It was an early start to be at the tour pick up point by 6.30am.
The bus took us through the cemetery of war graves then onto the USS battleship Missouri.
That was a fabulous history lesson that involved viewing the decks of the ship, with a guided tour to provide details of the signing of the peace agreement on the deck of the ship.
From there we visited the Pearl Harbour site and the USS Arizona memorial.
Again the museum and exhibits were an incredible history lesson.
It was a boat ride across the harbour to the memorial for those who died on the ship during the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941.
The memorial sits above the sunken ship and contains the names of the sailors who are buried with the ship.
