Jane wets her toes on Waikiki Beach



Jane wanted to visit Waikiki - the surfing sands of Oahu's ali'i (chiefs).  We ventured down to the Hale Koa - House of the Warrior.  The Hale Koa has faithfully served military families since 1975.   


Jane is dwarfed by the banyon tree!


Jane also sits in another "viney" tree -
does anyone know what kind it is?


Here's a view looking up!
  
Jane spies the stand up paddlers.
  
Jane finds a coconut!


Jane chats with the Beach Boy 
and Beach Girl!


Jane samples kayaking ... 


... and the water bike!


The water is so tempting ... 


... that many couples ride together!


Jane walks along the jetty for magnificent views!

  2. I love the beach at Emerald Isle NC. It is much easier to get to than Hawaii.

  3. In town, La Jolla Shores. Out of town, any tropical beach where the water is clear and warm. Jane looks like she had a great day at the beach!
