My lovely bride of 30 years and myself just came back from Hawaii yesterday after spending over a week there. We stayed on Oahu at the Makaha resort which is on the western side of the island. We went to Pearl Harbor and the memorial is very touching as you get close to it, knowing how many lives lost was very sureal. We also did island guided tour,official Hawaiian lua,dinner cruise,snorkeling,hiking we had a blast. I was a little surprised on how many homeless folks setup makeshift camps on the beaches

I guess the cost of living vs. the wages = many homeless. We had a great time celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The flight is a long one

but if you can catch some sleep isnt't too bad. Road signs/directions on the island leave a little to be desired

Honolulu is a major city and is crammed with tourists, but most are scantilly clad so life was good

Now a trip to Germany is in order
