World War II.<\/p>\n<p>The memorial was built above the shipwreck that&#8217;s only accessible by boat, which was offered by National Park Services for a nominal fee. As a result, it required advanced reservations for timed tickets. We left the hotel in Waikiki at 8am for the 8:45am tour, <span style=\"font-size: small;\">(We figured the breakfast schedule for the hotel meant we couldn&#8217;t do any earlier)<\/span>, and arrived at the parking lot at 8:32am, which was right in time for us to get into the queue for orientation without much wait. (Given the tour&#8217;s popularity, there&#8217;s a standby queue, but I didn&#8217;t see many in that queue got onto the boat during our visit.)<\/p>\n<p>The orientation took place in a theater, where I thought a movie would be played. Instead, it&#8217;s just a ranger going over some rules and regulations for the tour, before we were ushered onto the boat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-1\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/DSC_4934C11.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/thumbnails\/DSC_4934C11.jpg\" width=\"92.5%\" alt=\"USS Arizona Memorial\" \/><\/a><\/br>USS Arizona Memorial<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">From Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/DSC_4914.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/thumbnails\/DSC_4914.jpg\" alt=\"USS Arizona Memorial\" \/><\/a><\/br>USS Arizona Memorial<\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/DSC_4932.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/thumbnails\/DSC_4932.jpg\" width=\"92.5%\" alt=\"Shuttle Boat\" \/><\/a><\/br>Shuttle Boat<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For USS Arizona Memorial.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/DSC_4933.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/thumbnails\/DSC_4933.jpg\" width=\"92.5%\" alt=\"USS Bowfin\" \/><\/a><\/br>USS Bowfin<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">A submarine that served in WWII.

As a result, buses were used to shuttle visitors between the ship (and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum which was also on Ford Island) and Pearl Harbor visitor center. The ship was owned by a nonprofit organization that offered guided tours (in multiple languages!) of its main deck, and self-guided tours of the living quarters below deck.<\/p>\n<p>A main feature of the guided tour was its &#8220;16-inch\/50-caliber Mark 7 gun&#8221; in 3&#215;3 arrangement. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/16-inch\/50-caliber_Mark_7_gun#\/media\/File:BB61_USS_Iowa_BB61_broadside_USN.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photos online (Wikipedia link)<\/a> showed a spectacular scene when all 9 were fired at once. During the World Wars, such armament was sure an impressive display of power. But as the years went on, naval strategies shifted to smaller, more nimble ships and air support, as a result, USS Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States. The ship was decommissioned in 1955, but recommissioned in 1986 after some modernizations (including notably, Tomahawk cruise missiles), before finally decommissioned in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Japanese surrender, there were photos, information boards and copies of the documents. Our tour guide emphasized how quick and uneventful the entire document signing went, for such a monumental occasion in history. Battleship Missouri was moored facing USS Arizona Memorial, a fitting emblem for the start and finish of World War II for the United States.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-3\">\n<div

Another distinction we noticed was that the waves here were huge, so we pulled over and sit on the beach for 15 minutes just to admire the waves. It turned out that a few days later, &#8220;The Eddie&#8221;, arguably the most prestigious big wave surfing contest, were held along the north shore of Oahu. &#8220;The Eddie&#8221; required open-ocean swells to reach certain heights before it can be held, as a result, it has only been held for 10 times throughout its 38-year history.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\"

style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">We had some snacks after leaving Pearl Harbor, so we decided on this late lunch at 4pm, at a food truck in the town of Haleiwa.<\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<p>After a late lunch, we left the northern coast of Oahu around 4:30pm, and reached Waikiki just before 6pm.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Hotel_Hyatt_Regency_Waikiki_Beach\">Hotel: Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We planned to stay three nights in Oahu, but I only had two C4 Hyatt certificates which I spent on our previous hotel, Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach. For this third night, I had the option use 12k Hyatt points to keep staying in Hyatt Place, but since I managed to qualify for Hyatt&#8217;s highest elite tier after COVID, which was expiring in a month, instead I opted for the oceanfront Hyatt Regency, at 20k per night.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/20230117_175728C9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/17\/thumbnails\/20230117_175728C9.jpg\" alt=\"Parking for Hyatt Regency Waikiki\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/br>Parking for Hyatt Regency Waikiki<\/br><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: smaller;text-align: left\">I\u2019ve heard the parking situation for hotels in Waikiki was bad, I was still shocked by the parking building for Hyatt Regency. To begin, it\u2019s at a premium location right across the ocean. If I were a real estate developer, I would tear down the parking building to build a hotel there, and tear down some other hotels farther inland for parking. It sits on a small footprint which means the turns and spaces were narrow, so tight that it needs to stack the cars\u2019 engine (illustration in the upper-left corner).<\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Frankly, I didn&#8217;t have that much of a good impression for this Hyatt Regency. After the infinite circles in its parking building and its bewildering space-saving measures (photo&#8217;d above), I found out its open-air atrium, albeit fancy and full of vacation atmosphere, wasn&#8217;t that friendly with someone dragging a suitcase like me, with its elevators well hidden in the corners.<br \/>\nBut on the other hand, its rooms were stellar. With points, I booked the cheapest city view rooms, and was upgraded to one with an oceanfront view (with my elite status). It&#8217;s just a gorgeous view to conclude our time in Oahu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-11\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li
