Honolulu is a gem with many facets! I took my mom here for her birthday she always wanted to go to Honolulu because of all the Elvis Presley movies filmed there. I wasn't sure what to expect because my impression was it was a city with a lot of buildings, to my surprise there are some of the most beautiful beaches, Great hiking trails, breathtaking views and huge turdles!! Diamondhead with it's amazing views of the city is simply breathtaking! Visiting Pearl harbor change my life. Every US citizen needs to visit this memorial. The cheifs luau was highly entertaining and the food was just outstanding, to sum it all up we even saw a rainbow our last day there I don't think I've ever seen a rainbow so beautiful in my entire life seven days of pure bliss.
