Karen, Ginger and Bev at Pearl Harbor
|
Ginger and Karen stayed on the east shore of Oahu at a home called
Paradise Found.
On Sunday, we all went to the service at
First Unitarian Church of Honolulu.
We were there 3 hours due to multiple special events, including the monthly
lunch we got invited to! Afterwards, we visited the nearby
Zen Buddhist Order of Hsu Yun Temple. We drove the long way back and
took photos from Diamond Head crater.
On Monday, we all met with Scher, who manages our
investment property in Ewa Beach.
After inspecting the property, we had lunch at the Bird of Paradise
restaurant on a nearby golf course. Then we drove across the island,
stopped at the Dole Pineapple Plantation to buy snacks, and toured
the North Shore.
On Tuesday, we went to
Sea Life Park where Ginger
had an appointment to swim with dolphins.
On Wednesday, we had breakfast at the Oceonarium
Restaurant in Waikiki, then drove to Pearl Harbor to visit the
Pacific Aviation Museum and toured the Missouri Battleship.
Photography was restricted on the military base, but we
bought photos and scanned them.
On Thursday morning, we visted
Hanauma Bay to go snorkeling.
After we cleaned up, we had lunch at the
Waioli Tea Room,
followed by a visit to the Royal Mausoleum in Honolulu.
On Friday, Ginger and Karen did an early morning hike to Makapu'u
Lighthouse. Afterwards, Bev joined them for lunch at Buzz's Steakhouse
in Kailua. Then we gave Bev a car tour of Lanakai, Kailua, Kanahoe and
drove the east coast to the north shore.
Our final day was Saturday, Ginger and Karen did another early morning
hike to the lighthouse and decided then to stay again in
Waimanalo Beach and do that hike every morning! Karen took photos
out the plane window as we left Hawaii.
