Our last day in Hawaii was a flurry of even more logistical planning. When we tried to extend our rental car for an extra day to accommodate our new plans we were quoted a rate that was over 3x the daily rate that we had been paying. Instead of shelling out the exorbitant new rate, we dropped off our rental as planned and had a luggage storage service pick up (and store) our luggage from the car rental agency. From there we boarded a free shuttle bus back to the airport where we hopped on a bus that took us to Pearl Harbor.
As we expected, tickets to visit the USS Arizona Memorial were already sold out by the time we arrived, but tickets to the USS Missouri and the USS Bowfin were still available. We purchased our tickets, stowed our backpacks, and hopped on another shuttle.
First stop: USS Missouri
