Manana Island off the coast east of Oahu

FOCUS: Here’s what one couple saw on a visit to our 50th state — Hawaii!

By Sandy and Rick Krause, Lilburn, Ga. | My wife and I recently visited in Hawaii. We never had a goal to see all 50 states, but this trip accomplished that!

We toured the four main islands—Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii, starting in Honolulu, Oahu. We stayed a block off Waikiki Beach and enjoyed walking around downtown and the beach.

Among the places we visited was the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument at Pearl Harbor. We took a Navy launch to the USS Arizona Memorial, watched a film, and visited the museum. It was most touching. We also toured the National Cemetery of the Pacific, State Capital, Chinatown, and Iolani Palace.
