Miland Brown in Hawaii
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have been in Hawaii where I attended the Hawaii International Conference on Education. It was a good conference and I enjoyed being in Honolulu and seeing some other parts of Oahu. However, I am happy to be back home now and done travelling for a while!
Over the next week or so, I plan on putting some pictures up with commentary on a few of the history spots I visited including:
- Pearl Harbor
- 'Iolani Palace
- Diamond Head Crater
- Kamehameha Statue
