Oahu
Our lobby and tower at the Waikiki Banyan.
Today we just explored Waikiki and all the shops.
This Banyan Tree was planted in 1904 by Jared Smith. It is 75 feet tall and 150 feet wide.
In 1979, this historic tree was one of the first to be recorded on Hawaii's Rare and Exceptional Tree List.
King's Corner and Moose McGillycuddy's were hang out spots during Leah's Grade 12 Hawaii Trip.

Oahu
Our room at the Waikiki Banyan. Mary and I are on the balcony.
John took a picture of us - we had to take a picture of him!
Waikiki used to be swampland!
A great start to a great day.
Breakfast at Shorebird with Gordon and Mary.

Having fun! The expression on this lady's face is priceless!
Very cool roots on this tree.
Lanikai Beach - this is becoming our favourite Oahu beach!

This is the beach "From Here to Eternity" was filmed at.
The trail to Spitting Cave of Portlock.

On our first stop, which we thought was the lookout was a private party!
They actually asked us to stay - we barely made it in time.
A great dinner at the end of a great day!
