It is 7:40 am here, and 11:40 am back in Oklahoma. These are some initial photos taken from my hotel balcony, looking east toward the mountains that are adjacent to the Waikiki beach hotel area.

Waikiki is the busiest and “tourist filled” area on Oahau, which is the island we are visiting in Hawaii for our 2007 Oklahoma Digital Learning Project. We are staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel, which is the “official hotel” of the events surrounding the dedication of the U.S.S. Oklahoma Memorial on Friday. If you click “Hilton iMap” on the previous link, you can see a 3D tour of this amazing and huge hotel. This is definitely the nicest hotel in which I have ever stayed.

I have created an interactive Google Map showing the relative location of our hotel on Waikiki and Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, where we will be traveling today to test our videoconference equipment.

You should be able to link to photos from Ford Island of the U.S.S. Oklahoma Memorial from the map by clicking on the camera icon there, as well as photos from our hotel this morning. This is the direct link to the USS Oklahoma Memorial website which has photos of Ford Island. We will be adding additional photos of our own to that map link later today and this week.
