Any first timer to Hawai'i ( like Miguelita and I ) is always treated to a "tour of the Island", O'ahu Island that is. In this trip that took place Thursday, May 25, we were accompanied by 2 townmates Anthony Pico and Lily Antonio Pico. Anthony and Lily are from the Mainland ( good 'ol USA) and they came to Hawai'i for some personal/business purposes. Both of them are retirees and believe it or not, Hawai'i is a good place to retire. Just be aware that real estate here is expensive and the standard of living is also high. Thus it is a common knowledge that residents here have to have 2 or more jobs in order to live comfortably. Well, it is the same thing in the Mainland anyway.
Anyways, that morning, we went from Honolulu through the Kamehameha Hi-Way, making a few stops on the way to take some photos.
The views are magnificent, especially on such a gorgeous, sunny day. Rugged mountains on one side, the foamy beach on the other. The sand is not dark colored. A couple of fishing rods came along with this trip. Plus a sumptous lunch prepared by our host.
At about 12:30 pm after passing thru Waimanalo ( a booming community on the eastern tip of O'ahu ), then we stopped at Chinaman's Hat for lunch.---#
