We are going extra large today! One of my favorite reading spots is Ko Olina - a resort area on the west side of Oahu.
It has four man made lagoons for calm swimming, snorkeling, and paddle boarding. The white hotel is the Marriott Ihilani.
To its right is the Disney hotel, Aulani.
Here's a close up of the outrigger ...
... and the wedding chapel!
The walking path gives way to a rocky trail behind Paradise Cove (where Chin Ho and Malia married on H50). In the distance is Yokohama Bay and Ka'ena Point.
Locals love to fish ...
... and boat! Are you ready for Thanksgiving? One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash. This giveaway is open to all readers. Comments are open through Saturday, November 24, 10 pm in Hawaii. I'll post the winners on Sunday, November 25.

Yes, I'm ready for Turkey Day!!!! Can't wait to eat deep fry turkey!
ReplyDeleteI've got the Turkey and trimmings, but there's still some last minute food shopping that I need to do.
ReplyDeleteAs always Kim, the pictures that you post are stunning. I want to come to Hawii, and see it for myself.
Happy Thanksgiving to you dear.
Wow... lovely photos again. :)
ReplyDeleteI am Canadian so we already had our Thanksgiving in October. But our thanksgiving isn't as grand as the american one though. We still have our turkey and all that... but no black friday or 2 days off...
No,not ready lol. I do have my turkey defrosting and I did most of the food shopping though. Once I do the stuffing on Wednesday, I'll feel ready lol.
ReplyDeleteYeah pretty much. I have bought everything now I just have to make it.
ReplyDeleteWe had our Thanksgiving last month (Canada). Have a great Thanksgiving.
