    10.27.24 Battleship Missouri
    May A.

    The last U.S. Battleship, the "Mighty Mo" [Honolulu HI] The Battleship Missouri was one of the historic sites we wanted to visit in Oʻahu. We arrived around 2:30p, got our tickets and hopped on the tour bus that took us to the site. Btw, there was no lines at the ticket booths and last admission to the battleship is 3:00p. We traveled over to Ford Island, we got a glimpse of the Bowfin Submarine on the way... we were dropped off and after the picture taking (option to purchase) we went on board the US Battleship Missouri. We took a self-guided tour following the route of the tour map. We started on the Main Deck, then Second Deck (below the Main Deck)... imagine what life was like for the sailors within their tight quarters. We climbed up 4 flights of ladders to the Upper Levels and ending our tour at the Surrender Deck and seeing the plaque which served as the site where representatives of the Empire of Japan signed the documents... it was here, on the ships deck, that the Instrument of Surrender which ended World War II on September 2, 1945 were officially signed. We were able to accomplish our self-guided tour in 1-hr and 10 mins because there was not a whole lot of people with us. It was perfect! Tickets for this tour was $37.99/person for general admission. It was great to experience a historic moment for our country. Review #3587

    Great museum to visit. In comparison to other BB museums, this one is the best. Access to most of the ship, five levels above the main deck and below deck is an excellent museum with A/C. An included guided tour is offered and you can explore the ship on your own. Guides are very knowledgeable on the Missouri's history and operations. Reasonably priced, shuttle bus provided, Senior, Veteran and Military friendly.

    The USS Missouri, the Mighty Mo, is an amazing addition to the many displays in Park Harbor that commemorate the attack on December 7, 1941 that catapulted the US into World War II. It was only several hundred feet away, that the memorial to the USS Arizona reminds the world of the attack on Pearl Harbor and beginning of the war for the USA. And it was on the deck of the USS Missouri, that the war ended with the signing of the Instrument of Surrender by the Japanese Empire and the representatives of allied nations, as well as General Douglas McCarthy as the Supreme Allied Commander. The USS Missouri is kept in amazing condition through the efforts of a nonprofit organization. Virtually the entire ship is open to the public. The ship is docked in an active US military installation, and special tours are arranged through the National Park Service

    Ok, visiting the memorial and visitor center was extremely educational and deeply touching; leaving an indelible impression. A MUST visit.

    When we got off the shuttle bus that took us from the visitor center to the USS Missouri Tour, we were awed by the sheer size of the ship. We joined in with a tour group that was guided by a Japanese lady named Eddy. She was AWESOME! You could tell she loves her job and sharing history and facts about the ship with visitors, like sharing stories about the Kamikaze Pilots and the WWII Surrender ceremony between the US and Japan, which was signed on the USS Missouri. There were a lot of plaques that had information in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Downstairs in one of the galleries was an exhibit dedicated to the Kamikaze pilots. It was very moving and sad to see artifacts, clothings, and letters from the Kamikaze pilots, along with their photos and information about their lives, families, and career that led them to give up their lives as Kamikaze pilots. Really wish we could have stayed longer. It would be too easy to spend a whole day here.

    Very interesting and informative tour of the USS Missouri that played a vital end to World War 2. You can choose to take a self guided tour or one with a guide. Highly recommend choosing a guide who adds A LOT of details you can't get on your own. And there's no extra charge to get a guided tour. After the tour is over, it's amazing to spend time on your own exploring below deck and even on the top of the ship on the bridge. Don't go below if you're claustrophobic though. Very tight quarters down there. No food allowed on the ship so eat in advance because it takes at least 30-45 min to take the tour. You can take a bottled drink that has a cap on it.

    We were actually at Pearl Harbor USS Arizona and decided to come back the very next day to visit USS Missouri. Unlike Pearl Harbor USS Arizona, this one does require an entrance fee. You come in the same entrance, go all the way to the right and take the short bus ride over the bridge to Ford Island. They do charge a service fee on top of the entrance fee. We are not history buff but we sure learned a LOT here! The entrance fee includes a narrative 45 mins tour and I'm so glad we did that. Although our guide did repeat too many times the same joke lol. Afterwards you are welcome to walk to the different deck of the ship and explore. Bring water and don't forget sunblock and a hat. Facts that we learned: 1- The WWII ended here at USS Missouri with the Japanese signing the instrument of surrender. 2 - A kamikaze pilot crashed a Japanese Zero fighter plane into the starboard side of the USS Missouri during the Battle of Okinawa 3 - Cher's If I can Turn Back time video was filmed on USS Missouri. And she is also why musicians cannot make videos aboard Navy ships anymore.

    Semper Fi!

    Super cool find in Hawaii! Who knew this is where they signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender! On September 2, 1945, representatives from the Japanese government and Allied forces assembled aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay to sign the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, which effectively ended World War II. S0 many unfortunate events that led up to this moment but this was the end of that mess in time. Sorry, I'm a history guy. So cool we stood on the very same deck, actually it was resurfaced since, but who's checking? LOL The tour was very interesting. I learned some things I had no idea about. It is worth the few dollars ($40?) to get in. Got the tickets right at the entrance. The tour is free after you purchase tickets. Its a short tour and semi-small ship. Compared to the Midway its about 1/4 the size and not all areas are accessible. So many interesting facts learned that day.

    The end of WWII parked a few boat lengths from a reminder of an it began. History buffs and others will enjoy a walk around history. I noticed many more Japanese tourists than I'd seen before. One had tears as she read the accounts and letters written before the Kamikaze pilots took to the air. Exhibits had changed dramatically since our first visit here, keeping it fresh and interesting.

    The tour bus brought us here. Loved it! Be sure to read the history as well. It's fascinating to walk and explore here. Words can't describe it. Be sure to have good walking shoes. Lots of photo ops here.

    Very well run and maintained museum ship located in Pearl Harbor adjacent to the Arizona Memorial. Getting on to the base requires you to pass through security, no bags allowed, and then to take a shuttle to Fords Island but the effort is worthwhile. Missouri is in great shape due to the efforts of the staff and they also act as very helpful and informed docents who are stationed strategically throughout the ship to answer questions. There are both guided and self-guided tours which permit you to see a good deal of the ship's main spaces along with a below-decks museum covering the ship's construction to her final disposition as a museum herself. Any visitor to Pearl will find this to be a worthwhile stop on their tour.

    Whoa. You get to go thru the entire ship! It's interesting. I liked the way that each room was labeled. I'm not one for tight spaces, so seeing even the Captain's quarters was a shock! The bunks made my head spin newscasts they were so small. Cool place to learn!

    The Pearl Canteen

    Enjoyed our visit to the USS Missouri; very interesting knowing the part it played in American history. The size of the warship was impressive, but the size of the cannons really blows one away! This is a must-see for anyone visiting Oahu or for any history buff. When we got here, the system was down, so we had to wait to get our tickets. It would have been nice if the ticket sales person could have mentioned that we could buy them online, but she didn't say anything and I didn't think about it until after my husband got the tickets. Had we gone online, we would've saved $6 each! Well, I guess they can use the extra money for the upkeep of the ship. The refreshment stand had some nice snacks during our wait. My husband and I shared a Dole Pineapple Whip ($6) that was very refreshing. The canteen area had a couple of bulletin boards with pictures of entertainers who visited. Visitors were asked to wear masks if entering any indoor areas, but many forgot; I guess going from "no mask" on the decks to "mask" on the inside areas was too hard for many! Docents at each area were friendly and tried to answer all questions. Many of them had a lot of information to share. As stated earlier, this is a must see for any history buff and interesting even for the non-buffs!

Profits support the State of Hawai'i's 51 Public Libraries. In more recent years, FLH opened a year-round used bookstore: Village Books and Music, first at the old Pier One, then a terrific space in Ward Centre next to Sedona. Due to the imminent demolition of Ward Center, the establishment shuttered the Ward location on 5/31/26, and will be reopening in mid-July at 610 Ward Ave., a.k.a. "Obama Building." While not as extensive as more famous used bookstores, e.g. NYC's "The Strand" and Portland's "Powell's Books," I thought there was a lot to love about Village Books and Music, where you could find books, but also CDs, vinyl records, games, puzzles, nostalgic Hawai`i memorabilia, and even art. While admittedly not all genres are well-stocked, when I've visited, I was impressed with the poetry section, which is small, but nicely curated, featuring a number of renowned BIPOC poets and local poets: look carefully, and you can find some signed editions in great shape. If you're looking for local Hawai`i writers or Hawaiian/Pacific materials, this store is worth browsing. And what a win-win: you get literary goods on the cheap AND you support the amazing Hawai`i State Library System: a worthy community hub committed to egalitarian public education!

And specifically, to women and children in need. Surprisingly, I couldn't find many places that fit these specifications till I came across the the Women's & Family Shelter, an emergency shelter from the Institute for Human Services (IHS). IHS is an independent, local 501c3 nonprofit organization that makes sure 100% of all donations stays in Hawaii. Drop off was really simple. The donation drop off area is open Monday thru Friday from 0800-1600. You can park your vehicle temporarily right in front of the garage while you offload your items. On their website, there are 5 different ways you can help: 1. Monetary Donation. A link is provided on the website for your convenience. This can be a one time donation or you can set up a monthly donation. 2. An In-Kind Donation. The donation center is located around the corner of IHS at the garage entrance on Kaamahu Place. On the website " Wish List" you can find a list of what type of items are in need. Items needed are gently used clothing (all types) household toiletries (even makeup), school items, food, baby related items to name a few. Basically just think of what you use and need and eat on a daily basis to give yourself an idea of what you could donate to help another person/child. 3. Planned Giving, such as bequests from an estate plan or will, real estate, personal property, etc. 4. Cooperate and foundation giving, such as scholarships, grants, direct donations, etc. 5. Volunteer. There are many different types of volunteer opportunities, such as tutoring children, kitchen help, serving meals, working at the health clinic, sorting donations, etc. There's an opportunity for everyone to give in whatever form you choose. So instead of letting your drawers, closet, garage, shoe rack, etc get cluttered with unused or unwanted items, why not give it back to the community to help another person or child out? Or if you're not ready to part with your treasures a monetary gift is always appreciated. Donating my belongings not only made my house much tidier, but I was also happy knowing my items had a 2nd life while helping to meet the needs of a person/child right here in Hawaii.

    Community service followed by meditation on the beach. Awesome!!…read more I learned about Travel2Change through my UH cohort. As a second year grad student, this was my first offsite team building event that I attended. Travel2Change is a non-profit organization that offers various activities focused on sustainability and giving back to the Hawaiian culture on the islands of Kauai, Maui, and O'ahu. From a beach clean-up followed by a sunset yoga class, to a trek into the native forest to protect indigenous wildlife, there's an activity to fit your passions! Just visit their website to explore. On Saturday's from 10:30am to 12:00pm, Jonathan from Yoga Loves Mana hosts the beach clean-up and yoga. He provided the bags and gloves for the clean-up. In 15 minutes, we collected four bags of litter from the grassy area and shoreline between the Aquarium to the lifeguard house just beyond the barefoot beach cafe. This was a great way to give back, keep paradise beautiful, and to show others the spirit of Aloha Āina! After the clean-up, we did an hour of Vinyasa style yoga in the shaded grassy area underneath the swaying palm trees and were sprinkled with a little bit of rain every now and then (it felt really good!). Jonathan has 15 years of experience and his teaching skills were kind and gentle for a few of us beginners. He made it very clear that the session was about the spiritual energy you feel from your core and put back into the universe, known as "Mana", and to not worry if you're inexperienced. We all felt very comfortable and he did a wonderful job guiding us on breathing techniques and stretching throughout the hour. Check out their website to see what they offer. Let friends from out-of-state know how they can see Hawai'i from a different perspective or share this with your friends and family from the Island. I felt really great after the clean-up and mediation through yoga. I highly recommend it!

There are many of us full-time working professionals who feel the pinch of living in the 808. Imagine trying to survive here solely dependent on minimum wage or social security, and with children to take care of, on top of trying to pay the monthly rent or mortgage. Statistics have shown that half of Hawaii is unable to make ends meet, and it is commonplace for Hawaiians to work two or three jobs to survive. When I moved to Hawaii I was deeply disturbed by the sight of so many homeless on the streets. Homeless encampments a block from multi-million dollar luxury condos are a common sight in Honolulu. Now that Hawaii is my home for the time being, I searched for ways I could help give back to the community in some way. Two years ago I decided to become a member of AUW's Society of Young Leaders. This group is for young people between the ages of 21 and 39 who give an annual donation of at least $120. Donations to AUW help continue services that support early childhood development, after-school programs, developmental screenings for children, and distributing meals to needy families, the elderly, and the homeless. I chose for some of my donation to be designated to the ALICE Fund that helps individuals and families living paycheck to paycheck. ALICE is an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. According to an ALICE study commissioned by AUW, in Hawaii, there are 165,013 ALICE households (37 percent), while another 47,066 households (11 percent) live below the poverty level. In total, 48 percent of Hawaii households are ALICE and below. I have always considered income inequality to be one of the most important issues of our time that has not been addressed enough by politicians. AUW is at the forefront of addressing income inequality in Hawaii. The AUW office is on N. Vineyard Blvd. near Chinatown. I have been to the AUW office for meetings as well as volunteer events such as the annual school supply drive for homeless children. It's a nice office and hopefully more people will get to see it after making a donation or choosing to help out with future AUW volunteer events.

We first removed evasive trees along the river. The cool thing was that we moved the branches to a different area that feeds certain Beatles. Then months after the tress/branches were stepped on and crushed to be part of the earth. After about an hour and half of work we took a little environmental tour to learn of the necessary ecological balance needed for the islands.
