For many O'ahu is their first introduction to Hawaii .... home to Honolulu and Waikki and by far most of the population of the state ... So let's share the spirit of aloha as it is seen on the island of O'ahu.
This first picture is a reminder that Hawaii a part of the United States ... it is the 50th state. Photo of a float during one of the many parades that go through Waikiki ...
.... and what would be a parade in Hawaii without horses? Notice the beautiful quilt ... and the numerous lei around the neck of the horse, as well as the young lady ...
... and what about Anthuriums ... and all that PINK ... I am trying to recall whether it was a float by the "Pink Lady" of Waikiki - the Royal Hawaiian Hotel - or not!
.... and of course floats .. Notice that street names are often in the Hawaiian language ... this one is Paoakalani ...
... and here's an empty chair on a beach .. just waiting for you to come and enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer
Re post #13, the large hotel is the Sheraton Waikiki and the pink hotel to the right of it is the The Royal Hawaiian.
....Did you take Qantas Lite there to get your fixin? Poor bakedpatato could only stay in the hotel right next to it
That was misleading actually, the hotel I stayed at is not visible in your picture. It's the other Starwood property *oh and its just the Royal Hawaiian...its part of the Luxury collection; be glad I'm not Starwood Champion!
I am always amused by those who don't like O'ahu "because there are too many people there." In fact, it's only that way if you choose to stay where all the people are. This is the beach on the North Shore just above Camp Erdman, today, (a Sunday morning) at about 10:30.
I just came back from Oahu 3 weeks ago and spent 2 days there. Crater (Diamond Head) Honolulu Looking down to the ocean on the crater Performance on the beach by Hyatt Beautiful Plumeria flowers Dole Plantation Sea turtle by North Shore Manoa Fall in the forest
