I shipped my truck to Hawaii. When I got there someone put lei around
my neck. The flowers smelled so good. I took my truck and went to
Honolulu. That's the capital of Hawaii and that's where Waikiki Beach
is. I decided to go surfing. There were some really big waves! Then I
went to visit the USS Arizona National Memorial. It is a floating
memorial above the remains of the U.S. battleship that was sunk by the
Japanese in Pearl Harbor. That started World War II. Then, I stopped in
at the Bishop Museum. It is an important historical museum. I took a
plane to the Big Island of Hilo. There I saw the Hawaii Volcanoes
National Park. Mauna Loa and Kilauea are both huge! Kilauea was
erupting! Hawaii is a beautiful state! I'd love to come back someday.
