Dates & Prices

- Arizona Memorial: One of Americas most revered historical landmarks. I think everyone that comes to Hawaii should pay his or her respects to our fallen heroes. Most people know the history of the Memorial but many don t know that Elvis and the children of Hawaii had an important hand in its construction. Elvis gave a concert in Hawaii and all the proceeds went to the memorial fund. The children of Hawaii gave their pennies to help finance the memorial. It's interesting to note that the Arizona is still leaking fuel oil after all these years. The oil is known as "The Tears of the Arizona".
