Addie, you need to go back again and drive the H-3 towards Kaneohe,
OH MY GOSH!
I wish I had better photos of that view as you come out of that tunnel, but the City&CountyofHonolulu have decided that it's not safe for everyone to be pulling over and taking pictures going at that rate of speed, you'd think that the Corp of Engineers would have thought to build a pull out, BUT NO!
We watched it being built from our back deck, DH got to be a part of that, thrilling really, and very dangerous up there and talk about driving through the clouds, WOW!!!
Next time we go home I'll be sure to talk DH into stopping for a photo-opt
That pass is terrifying for the uninitiated. The bus driver needs to warn the tourist passengers.
The scariest bridge I have ever driven over, until I got used to it:
The Coronado Bay Bridge in San Diego. You will notice it has no guard rails, just Jersey barriers.
OOh!
You were on TheBus (really, that's what the City Bus is called )
and went over to the Windward side or were you going around the island #55? Not a bad deal for what, $2.50 now
(it was $1.25/one way or $45/month when we left 7 years ago, that sure beat downtown parking)
... just don't ask the driver questions, they get upset about that, I heard a driver once say to a tourist, "lady, this ain't no tour bus" (add pidgin accent here).
I rode TheBus everyday to and from work, it was so beautiful watching the sunrise in the morning.
Sometimes, when it rained REALLY bad, there'd be a goodly sized waterfall coming down the cliff of the mountain, right into the road ... and the driver just kept on going like it was not at all unusual!! Finally, I guess someone called 911 and they close the highway
WOW! Good for you Addie, most folks come over from the mainland without that attitude and miss out on what all Hawaii, or any place for that matter, has to offer. .... and Poo is who? a grandson/daughter? how long were you on Oahu?
As a single young women, I lived not far from the Punchbowl area for a brief time. But the Windward side of the island always calls be back :sigh:
Poo is my youngest son. He is a Physician Assistant and works in Vermont in the ER of the hospital there. I was there for one year. ... snipped ...
How beautiful!
Charlie, you must miss home.
So, not to sound like I'm being nosy or anything, but, you and your son were in Honolulu for 1 year why?
... and a church on the Windward side, I just can't think of a church like that Addie. But there are many that 'don't have all of their walls' it's a tropical thing forsure, to have folding doors to open completely and let the breezes flow through, A/C, electric in general is SO expensive there, well along with everything else for that matter.
I'm so glad that enjoyed your time there... does your son remember any of it? Pity if he doesn't, he should take you back!
Kgirl, you speak Hawaiian! Neato
