Quick Trip to Oahu

The trip to Oahu was a short 4 days, 2 days in the north shore and 2 days in Waikiki.

This was my 2nd visit to Oahu, first time was 16 years ago. What a change!!

The north shore is still more peacefull and absolutely beautiful! I went with a very small group of travel agents and a sales representive for one of our favorite wholesalers. We picked a minivan at the Honolulu airport and off we drove to the north shore, on the way I noticed how things have changed. The pineapple fields are thinning and more houses are popping up all over. Its still alot more inviting on the north shore due to the lack of crowds. We just happened to be speeding a little just 5 minutes a way from the hotel and very cute cop pulled us over. He let us go because of a special smile someone had in the van, lucky!! Turtle Bay Resort is absolutely wonderful 880 oceanfront acres to romp on. They offer horseback riding, helicopter tours oh and did I say golf. Wonderful staff, very welcoming and great food! All around perfect property to stay at, you dont even feel like youre on Oahu. Surfs up there!!! You could watch the surfing compititions from your hotel room or villa. Way too much to mention.
On our way to Waikiki I found the west side of the island to be my favorite. Laid back very simple homes and small communities, loved it! Naturally landscaped every color green you can imagine, beautiful Id live there in a second.
Waikiki is busy and fun, its a great palce to go if you love shopping, beach, entertainment and great food. Its seems like all the hotels have renovated so the choices are plentiful. My favorite hotel in the middle of the actions is Outrigger on the Beach, even though I loved the Kahala. That hotel offers the Dolphin experience and is on a very nice beach with a reef which protects you from the big waves. The food was absolutely wonderful!
All in all Waikiki is a great place to visit , play, eat enjoy the beach and shop. The best part is it is very affordable with a package booking.
Thumbs up!!!!!!
