It would be alright to
but the first time was
the epitome of any vacation, yes-
sir-ee!
You may visit all the islands. But
Oahu is the most populated and has
Honolulu as the Crown Jewel.
Although Oahu isn't the largest
of the Hawaiian Islands, it's by far
the most populous. But that doesn't
mean the whole island teems with
people. In fact since most residents
live around Honolulu, the state
"capital," and the Mid-Pacific
region's economic hub, the rest of
Oahu is as laid-back and serene as
its sister islands. For a visitor in the
know, it's a little like getting two
islands for the price of one!
First, there's the thriving city of
Honolulu, filled with cultural activ-
ities, top museums, international
restaurants and fabulous shops.
Watch a hula performance or see
a play or catch the Kodak Show.
Shop in designer boutiques. Visit
the 1879 Lolani Palace, home to
the last king and queen of Hawaii,
the only official royal residence in
the United States. Check out Cap-
tain Cook's maps at the renowned
Bishop Museum. Luxuriate over
traditional Hawaiian food or any
of the world's cuisines. Or go to
the luau, where, if you were as luck
as Gerald and was asked to go on
stage and perform with beautiful
Hawaiian Hula Dancers, hey! He
did a splendid job too. And then
there's the other Oahu, the peace-
ful tropical paradise. It's a land of
small, quaint towns hugging beau-
tiful beaches, a place of mountain
waterfalls, shimmering rainbows,
calm turquoise bays surrounded by
Banyan trees and swaying palms.
Hike a forest trail crowded with
"orchids," really! Never befieved
I would see such a sight, also color-
ful birds. Swim, pick a pineapple
right off the pineapple stalk, in the
field where they are growing. You
have never tasted real pineapple
until you've done this, so sweet,
so juicy, nan down your arm sweet,
mmmmmmgood Maynard!
If there is one getaway that has
something for everybody, it's
Oahu. The perfect place to get
a jump on Spring, Wow! Wish
we were there, just for a tittle bit.
"You," everyone needs to go, just
one time. That's all you'll ever
need. I think Gerry and Patty have
gone two or three times. Everyone
should be so lucky. I'm thankful
for the one time.
That you give them they gather
in; you open your hand, they are
filled with good. Psalm 104:26.
T'dl we meet again dear friends
and relatives, I'm out of paper. Dee
Volente, Pour pren dre conge, I
wish you Peace and Love, Aloha!
