Away from winter in Australia and a world away from the US debt crisis, in spite of being on U.S soil, Hawaii is truly a holiday destination. The people, whether local or tourist, are really friendly and chatty. I have been given discount coupons by strangers who have found themselves with an excess. Information is given freely and the staff, wherever one goes, bend over backwards to be helpful. Some of these photos will amaze Australians who are used to excessive regulation.
What?
No helmet!
Because the beaches are private property (but public usage) you've been warned. There's no compensation for being an idiot. A respect for private property.
Didn't know you could seat 3 in the front any more!
becomes another seat......This was one of the large American cars!
Can you
guess what
this is?
guess what
this is?
A microwave! yes it's a drawer built into the kitchen units and has no turn table!
Extremely efficient too.
Not just a speed limit but a minimum speed limit as well. Keep that traffic flowing.
Even in Honolulu workers have to deal with the end of day traffic heading home!
So, is there a downside? One thing you don't come to Honolulu for is the food!!!!!! If you're into hamburgers tacos and the steak house...that's it!
But....if you're into shopping, I thoroughly recommend Ala Moana shopping centre. We must have walked 10klm and that doesn't include the detouring into the shops or the looking around. We were there from 10a.m 'till 9p.m when the shops close here. We felt like we had dragged our eyeballs across the beach and for the next 24 hours looked that way too!!! We had shopped and we finally dropped!!!!
