Westside

Since I wrote this, I've really been trying to branch out a little bit more on our island. Let's face it...it's an island! Not a really big one either. Not like the Big Island, where it takes maybe two days to drive around. On Oahu, especially the North Shore, we can get to the other sides in 30-45 minutes (no traffic of course).


Anyway, a few weeks ago when hubby and I went to the Westside to watch "Buffalo's Big Board Contest", we were both amazed at how different it is over there. We hadn't been over that way for such a long time, so it was a real treat.

View along Kunia Road, after passing through the old pineapple fields

View of Diamond Head across Waipahu



Lots of planes making the turn at Barbers Point

Maili Beach Park...so beautiful

It was so green over there! Won't be like this in a few months!

We thought this was part of the whole satellite station that can be seen from our side

Yokohama Bay and the end of Farrington Hiway

So, after all of the homeless left Maili Beach Park they came to the end of Farrington Hiway. There had been several community groups in the area picking up all the rubbish, that's why there are so many bags, the trucks hadn't been along to pick it up yet.Disney Company is building a resort at Ko'Olina. It's going to have a "Hawaiian"theme. Can't wait! You can already get an idea of the whole entrance.




Final view of Diamond Head before getting on Kunia Road. The water in the foreground is actually the backside of Pearl Harbor.

Love the Westside!

I was thinking about this as I was sitting here typing. That half hour drive can take you some place so different, it's amazing. Hummm, maybe that should be another post, "30 minutes from my front door".
