Description:
The Waikiki Resort Hotel is very well located in the heart of Waikiki, half a block away from the Kuhio Beach section of world famous Waikiki Beach and in the shadow of iconic Diamond Head. Being near Kuhio Beach is a real plus, as it is the most interesting part of Waikiki Beach because it is wide, sandy, nicely landscaped, and it is home to the beachboy stands which send out surfers and outrigger canoes. The hotel is also within walking distance of other popular attractions such as Kapi`olani Park (great for morning or evening walks), the Honolulu Zoo, the Waikiki Aquarium, the International Marketplace, King's Village shops, and a multitude of restaurants and other attractions.

Breakfast:
Buffet Breakfast- Ilima Cafe, lobby level
Morning:
Bus departs for Pearl Harbor where our group will register with Security/Volunteer Department Orientation to the Mighty Mo – Class and Tour Orientation to Service Projects aboard Mighty Mo. If time permits, we will start volunteer projects prior to lunch.
Lunch:
There are daily lunch locations available on Ford Island including a grill located pier-side of the Mighty Mo and the restaurant located at the Pacific Aviation Museum.
Afternoon:
Service Work on Mighty Mo: Start Service Projects. Past Road Scholar projects have included the following: -Compartment Refurbishment: Compartments are in bad shape and have not been worked on since ship arrived in Hawai`i. -TACC Room Set Up: The Radio/TACC Room next to Combat Engagement Center needs to have the new/used equipment put into racks -Sign/Display Painting: Restore signage to its original condition. -Teak Wood Cleaning: Teak wood that has been taken off the deck needs to be cleaned using electric wire wheels, sanders, and grinders (the teak is then used for plaques and displays) Most projects will generally involve being outside in the beautiful Hawaiian weather with great views of Pearl Harbor, the ocean, and the mountains. Of course we do try to work in the shade where possible, and those who are particularly sensitive to the sun can be assigned projects out of the sun. No specific skills are required to participate in this service program, but we are certainly interested in identifying and using your specific talents, so let us know! More information will be culled from a questionnaire sent to you before your program begins.

Description:
The overnight encampment aboard the USS Missouri offers a rare and unique opportunity to visit areas of the battleship normally off limits to visitors. Participants will gain insight to the many different systems and pieces of equipment aboard this historic battleship. Some Interesting Facts: Designing the Missouri took 175 tons of blueprint paper. The ship was built in three years and required over 3 million man-days to complete the job. For comparison’s sake, the Missouri is 279 feet longer and 11 feet wider than the USS Arizona. The Mighty Mo is also 5 feet longer and 18 feet wider than the RMS Titanic. Just how big is the Missouri? If you could stand the ship on end, it would be 332 feet taller than the Washington Monument. The nine 16-inch guns are the Mighty Mo’s trademark feature. Each gun barrel is 65 feet long, weighs an incredible 116 tons, and can fire a 2,700-pound shell 23 miles in 50 seconds – with pinpoint accuracy. The Missouri was the last battleship ever built. It was also the most formidable. Along with its firepower was a thick steel armor plating that protected the hull (13.5 inches), the gun turrets (17 inches in front; 13 inches on the sides), the citadel (17 inches), and the conning tower sides (17.3 inches).
Ship Information:
Class: Iowa-class battleship Length: 887 feet Height: 209 feet from keel to mast Beam: 108 feet Weight: 58,000 tons (full load); 45,000 tons (unloaded) Speed: In excess of 30 knots (35 mph)

Music, Fire, Dance & Romance
The Sheraton Moana Surfrider has always been home to island musicians. From 1935 to 1975, the live radio show "Hawaii Calls" was broadcast from the Banyan Court stage to bring the sounds of Hawaii to thousands of listeners on the West Coast. Nightly entertainment at the Banyan Court features the musical talents of a variety of local groups. There is no better way to relax than to spend an evening listening to beautiful island melodies accompanied by graceful hula dancers. Every Friday at 7:30 pm, the Komo Mai to the Courtyard (Come to the Courtyard) program offers a complimentary keiki (children) hula show followed by conch shell blowers and a spectacular Tahitian fireknife dancer. On Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm couples are invited to take part in the Promise Me Again, wedding vow renewal program. Couples lovingly exchange vows and a fresh flower lei during the ceremony and then dance to the Hawaiian Wedding Song-made famous by the Elvis Presley hit movie, "Blue Hawaii"-as they express the rededication of their lives and their love to one another.
