"Hexepatty's Beloved Former Home, Honolulu!" Honolulu by Hexepatty

Honolulu Travel Guide: 1,987 reviews and 4,711 photos

A L O H A !!!

I lived in Honolulu for 12 years and I considered myself quite blessed to live there. Each morning and evening I thanked my god & goddess for the ability to live on those beautiful islands.

Beach Days

Honolulu is not just beaches, but the beaches are EXCELLENT, none the less! This is one of the lagoons at Ko olina on Leeward Oahu...

Aloha Tower

Not just a place to drink and shop, but a place to see real nice cruise ships come in and out the port. Plus you get to see all the container ships coming in/out the harbor. Gordon Biersch is a PLUS!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Pretty People & Great Weather!
Cons:the COST of living in Paradise! $$$
In a nutshell:It's home even though I am no longer there!

Last visit to Honolulu: Mar 2003

I'm not sure why, but it escaped my attention until now that you used to live here. When I walk the streets of Honolulu, I will now view them from another perspective!

I find the term, "Haole" just as disgusting/zenophobic/bigoted as : "wop," 'jap," "nigger," It is the "H" word!
