Today we take a very special and emotional road trip across Oahu 🌺

Leaving the beautiful surroundings of:
🏨 Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

we head to one of the most important historical sites in the United States:

Pearl Harbor National Memorial

A VISIT TO THE USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL

In this video (Part 1), we arrive at Pearl Harbor and visit:

⚓ USS Arizona Memorial

This memorial honours the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives when the USS Arizona was sunk during the attack on Attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.

💔 A TRULY MOVING EXPERIENCE

The visit includes:
🎥 A short documentary about the events of the day
⛴️ A boat ride across the harbour
⚓ Time spent at the memorial itself, built directly above the sunken ship

Even today, oil can still be seen rising to the surface — often called:
🖤 “The Tears of the Arizona”

It’s a powerful and deeply moving experience that really puts history into perspective.

🌺 A MOMENT TO REFLECT

Visiting Pearl Harbor is something we’ll never forget.
It’s a place of remembrance, respect and reflection — and one that we feel incredibly grateful to have experienced together ❤️

This is Part 1 of our Pearl Harbor visit — more to come in the next video!
