Enjoying the beach at Waikiki

It's been quite a few years since I went to Hawaii so this site will not provide you information on hotels and restaurants. What it will provide are pictures of the beautiful island of Oahu and leave you with beautiful memories of the South Pacific. If you're a first time visitor to Hawaii, the island of Oahu is typically where you might begin to explore all that Hawaii has to offer. This was the case when we went.

Peace and solitude

Honolulu, the capitol city, has much to offer with respect to museums, restaurants, activities, and shopping. Most of these venues are scattered around Honolulu, which means a rental car is in order if you plan on making visits to these locations the focus of your stay.

Many things to see and do

Honolulu's public transit system--The Bus--is an affordable alternative to a rental car, but expect to spend some valuable vacation time waiting for the bus or walking between it and your ultimate destination.

Pros and Cons

    I think you're absolutely right, Oahu has as much to offer as the other islands and maybe more! Weren't Pearl Harbor & the Arizona Memorial very moving?

    As I just finished my Hawaii pages, was interested in yours. You did a commendable job on Pearl Harbor & Arizona. Cemeteries are interesting too. I knew nothing about Buddist Temple until reading your account. Thanks. Great pages.
