Wow...it's almost that time again! You have a nice holiday next week as well Lucky!
Sally,
This is one of the most spectacular fireworks events around! I was in New York City in 1990 (or so) and it was the best as the fireworks went off over the Statue of Liberty, but this one is really cool!
I remember seeing fireworks by the Hilton Hawaiin Resort one year in Oahu. Other than that what do you have in Hawaii?
Lucky :)
Lucky, sounds like there will be quite a celebration in your neck of the woods...great community information.
Gena,
The view from Rock Island, Illinois over to Davenport, Iowa is spectacular!
Especially at night with fireworks above!
Lucky :)
