Thank you for your well wishes.
This will be our first trip and as such Oahu is just a small sampler for our short week's stay.
I did my homework a bit,
as i'm blessed with a 6sense "nowadays called spidersense",
so better to be prepared in respect for the mystical aura native to the islands.
We have planned for our sampler taster at least 3 days of relaxed sightseeing.
If Oahu works its magic, we are sure bound to return next year to the big island

and see much more.
I just hope i packed enough advil...
Because as a Dutchie, we will be the whole time upside down ..
Hawaii islands being polar opposite on the globe than Amsterdam ...
Our Oahu first timers "we are taking it easy to absorb the energy of the sights" program:
- Banzai Pipeline
- Puu O Mahuka Heai
- Waimea valley
- Waikiki: scenic Ala Moana Boulevard
- Nu Unanu Pali lookout point
- Bishop Museum
as a special treat:
