The whole of last year, I took a kind of sabbatical leave from blogs. I published only 2 posts in 2011. Lots of stuff I wanted to write was left behind. I am just catching up.
Last November, we went to Honolulu to attend a Tamil wedding. That in itself is a different hilarious story. In Honolulu, there are these usual attractions like Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor Memorial, Battleship USS Missouri, and Polynesian Cultural Center. I will write a post on these soon.
In addition to the above “must see”, we wanted to go on a submarine ride. We thought it will be an opportunity of a life time for us. This submarine has a seating capacity of 48 passengers. We went on a 45 minutes ride and enjoyed every minute of it. We felt comfortable and safe throughout the ride. A different experience.
This is the ferry that took us to the submarine

ReplyDelete"So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine"

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sulagna. You are correct.
ReplyDeleteHawaii is a dream destination. How I wish I got married there..actually no, scratch that.. I'd much rather attend or just vacation there, muchhh more fun!! :-) very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Rohitha. Hawaii is a wonderful place for vacation, relax and enjoy. But planning a Tamil wedding there is just pain.
