This was the Hawaii of twenty-plus years ago. Our tour was in 1976, we were young, no children, before we bought the first "BIG" house ...
just two kids tasting as many tropical drinks as we could handle!

Beautiful Waikiki Beach, City of Honolulu, Island of Oahu

On a driving tour around Oahu, we stopped at many beautiful coves. Absolutely the most clear water you've EVER seen... I stood in shoulder deep water, wiggling my toes and could see the sand moving! Some of the coves we found were protected "preserves" where you could dive and see all types of beautiful tropical fish and coral reefs. We arranged to rent scuba gear (tanks and all) but, being the pansy that I am *smile* I couldn't do the scuba thing .. the tanks were too cumbersome, I didn't like breathing through my mouth, so I floated atop.

We flew in a chartered prop plane one day over all the islands, actually stopping on Hawaii (the big island), Maui and Kauai. The Hawaii photo above shows the black beaches created by lava rock. The Maui coastline shows that King Kamehameha hid many years during his youth. The plane was only an eight or nine seater, with the pilot doing his best to show EVERYONE on each side of the plane EVERYTHING on each island. Hence the rolling of the plane to one side ...... then the other. It was hard to keep breakfast down that day!

One of the fun things on Oahu is taking the huge party boats .... and trying all the tropical drinks! We left this vacation, tanned, relaxed and with a beautiful first impression of Hawaii.
