Aloha,

Hawaii is truly a wonderland by day or night.  The water, mountains, sky, and beaches all look right out of a picture!  Three of us rented a car and drove to the other side of the island.  The mountains drop straight to the ocean.   There are some smaller islands just off shore and they are just beautiful.

I plan to see the Arizona today and I've taken nearly 30 pictures in color.  I hope they turn out.  Every one on the island seems to like it.   Some of the men from the ship were unhappy but you all should save up and come out here.  You'd love it.

I most likely won't be able to write you again until we get to Guam at the end of the week.  So most likely (Ha! Ha! - I just caught myself using "most likely" in about 6 or 7 different sentences) you won't be able to get me any mail until Subic Bay, middle of the next week.  After that we start shooting.  We'll be out a good 30 - 40 days.

Must go,

Mike
