| Page Views: 2,345 Last Visit to Hawaii (State of): March, 2003 I Used To Live Here | Scenic Hawaii by TropicGirl77 - last update: Aug 8, 2003 |
Arriving back home to Hawaii! Having had my things packed as far in advance as two years ... I was READY for home! Arriving at Hickam AFB in the early afternoon, I remember leaving the airfield letting out squeal after squeal of excitement as we passed beautiful palm trees, along with exotic bushes, trees and other plants in full bloom! What a change from the hot, dry and already brown Texas that we had just left earlier that morning. |  | | Diamond Head from Punchbowl |

Finding our way around O'ahu Our next endeavor was to find a place to call home for the next few years. Having lived here for fourteen years previously did not prepare me for the shock of all the changes that awaited me in the way of H3 and Kapolei ... wow! I cannot begin to express the breathtaking view as you come out of the tunnel on H3 ... it takes my breath away every single time ... but why take my word for it ... you simply must take the drive yourself. This photograph is of the windward side as seen from the Pali Lookout. Kapolei, by the way, was built while I was away. We discovered it while we were house hunting. For those of you familiar with O'ahu, but not Kapolei, it's on the opposite side of H1 from Makakilo. | | | Windward side of the Scenic O'ahu |

Sunsets look good from just about anywhere! I love seeing sunsets just about anywhere ... but it's been hard capturing most of them on film because I rarely have my camera in my possesion at the right moment. Clouds, palm trees and the mountain range helped make this an unusual sunset in Kaneohe, Hawaii | | |
Chinaman's Hat This is a nice photo of the ever famous Chinaman's hat on the windward side of the island of O'ahu. If you look closely at the lower right hand corner of the photo, it looks like a dinosaur looking on!) | | |
Very tropical beach scenes ... Go figure ... we have beaches all around us! This is a wonderfully "tropical" look for Hale'iwa beach on the Northshore of O'ahu. | | | Typical Hawaii beach park, complete w/ Palm trees |
|
Big Island, Hawaii Each island has it's own beauty and attractions. Most of the Big Islands offers a peacefulness with it's scenery, from lush green to baron brown or abandoned areas that lava flow has cleared. Here is a beautiful view from a scenic point overlooking the coastal line ... look closely so you don't miss the water fall from the middle of the cliff. | | | Waterfalls are all over .. |
|
Snow in Hawaii atop Mauna Kea Snow in Hawaii ... who would have imagined! Snow capped Mauna Kea (Big Island) in early spring 2001. This photograph was forwarded to me by my brother who lives on the Big Island (Hilo then, Pahoa now) | | |
This type of scenery is all around you! Here is a beautiful setting found at one of the National parks on the Big Island of Hawaii. The beauty you find is only as beautiful as you see it ... look and you will know what I mean. | | |
Great aerial views Viewed from above, one could hardly tell this is a photograph of a Hawaiian golf course ... why, you can't even tell if there are palm trees here or not! Trust me ... this one of many golf courses you'll find around the island of O'ahu (on Kunia) | | | Aerial of Hawaii golf course |
|
Serenity. Ahhh, what is the use of having a camera with you if you miss out on the best opportunities! We stumbled upon this peaceful reflection on our way to the south side of the Big Island. | | |
Gilligan's Island ... What's your idea of beautiful scenery? As long as I can remember, I used to dream of living on some island as "NEAT" as Gilligan's Island! Well! Imagine my surprise when I found that it was really a small island right on the windward side of O'ahu! (Picture was obviously taken on a very hazy day) | | |
Flower landscaping Hawaii has been lavishly landscaped in flowers of many many varieties! When some finish their season, another several begin their new season ... we are NEVER without some sort of floral blooms! | | |

Hi Valorie. Gorgeous page here with many very interesting and useful tips! I enjoyed reading your insights and stories. Greetings from the desert / Jess in Dubai :-) | Travel_Larry Tue Dec 11, 2007 18:52 UTC
I can't thank you enough for mentioning things like this. There aren't enough people in the world that are looking out for our beautiful creatures. :) | alywang Mon Nov 5, 2007 02:20 UTC
Hi,Valorie! your Hawaii pages are so great! | Imua Tue Sep 18, 2007 02:20 UTC
$35 is only for the meal if you buy it by itself, which they normally don't allow. And what would you recommend, a luau with a kissing line like Germaines? I wouldn't recommend those other luaus, because they aren't really luaus. |
