We were in Oahu early last month and decided on yours above the others that ranked well in Google. It was an absolutely fantastic day and we were thrilled with some of the out-of-the-way spots you recommended that we likely never would have found on our own! I will certainly recommend your tour to anyone I know heading that way! Thanks again.danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176997307784011227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232439676728321168.post-15528755151443907492014-06-26T06:37:30.590-04:002014-06-26T06:37:30.590-04:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Erica Landrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605775076986912490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232439676728321168.post-41871617606172823122014-06-25T19:12:05.055-04:002014-06-25T19:12:05.055-04:00Thank you!

If you are looking for memorial information, I've done a few blog posts covering the USS Arizona, the USS Utah, the Missouri, the Bowfin Submarine, and the USS Oklahoma. Click this link and scroll down to "Pearl Harbor Historical Sites" to see them: http://www.thelandrumwife.com/p/about-hawaii.html<br /><br />Hopefully that will help you out, and if you have any more questions I'd be happy to answer them! :)Erica Landrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605775076986912490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232439676728321168.post-38655719712116241032014-06-22T11:24:30.853-04:002014-06-22T11:24:30.853-04:00Hi,

Being a Navy wife, do you have any tips about Pearl Harbor? I was there 30 years ago with my parent, but the only day we could visit was the only day they didn't run tours back then. It's always been of my list of must-dos for the future. With my son in Navy ROTC, I decided this was the time! Any "inside" advice, tips, information you can provide would be appreciated. I've been all over their website, but I didn't know if you knew anything else.

You could potentially do the "...Aloha Jillian! You could potentially do the "mini" driving tour I have on the blog first (found here: http://www.thelandrumwife.com/2013/02/diy-mini-oahu-driving-tour.html ), and then just take the H3 back to Kaneohe the next day and continue up to the North Shore. However, if you're intent on stopping at the Dole Plantation on the first day, you'd probably have to do the trip backwards and actually start going clockwise to the North Shore instead of counterclockwise like I have laid out here. You could still do the same premise of North Shore stops first, end in Kaneohe, and do the mini tour the next day :)<br /><br />Good luck on making your decision and I hope you have a fantastic vacation here!Erica Landrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605775076986912490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232439676728321168.post-73654937029002978302014-06-19T09:57:22.405-04:002014-06-19T09:57:22.405-04:00Hey,

There are some things we may skip as we have already planned to visit them on another day (i.e. hanauma bay). We have allotted ourselves 2 days to drive around the island. We are staying in Waikiki. Do you have a recommendation on a good stopping point for one day? The first day we drive around the island we definitely want to stop at Dole Plantation.

I'm happy that the guide is helping you out :) For accommodations over on the windward side, I would suggest going to VRBO.com and/or HomeAway to browse rental listings. There aren't any hotels/resorts on that side of the island that I'm aware of, so your best bet might be a vacation rental or a bed and breakfast perhaps. Good luck on your search! :)Erica Landrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605775076986912490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232439676728321168.post-56610608638647154122014-02-27T17:19:59.354-05:002014-02-27T17:19:59.354-05:00Thanks so much for your kind words, c.a.stout!

I'm not 100% sure why Google has listed that road restricted since as far as I know anyone can visit the park (I've never been turned away).
