Five Years Ago Today ❤

Good Morning Diamondhead!

Not nearly as big as Lahaina’s Banyan Tree but still impressive!

Across from the Surfrider is the International Marketplace, both it and Waikiki Town Center are built on land that was owned by Queen Emma Kaleleonalani, a humanitarian beloved by her people. She joined her husband King Kamehameha IV in a personal crusade to stem the decline of native Hawaiians.

Today, we are headed out to the North Shore, Baby!

This is called, “A Lesson in Patience”.

After spending a few hours there we went over to Ehukai Beach Park, aka the one… the only… the very quiet 😉 Bonzai Pipeline!




Learned a new word on this trip… Vog!

While not a whole lot of respiratory fun, the vog does make for some very cool pictures.

Driving back in five o’clock traffic I can’t help but think, this is a pretty sweet view if you’re stuck in traffic.

Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu, these are a must for me… heeheehee! I can’t wait to go check out the new one in Waikiki!

I bow down to the gods of surf!
