Oahu Trip Report

[mdgirl]

Sounds like a great trip, and these are beautiful pictures! I love Oahu too. It's much more than Waikiki and the Arizona memorial, but people don't give it a chance.

I love Oahu...each island has its own charm

I loved that rock formation. And I am impressed with the turtle shot.

Sounds like you had a great time and your photos are gorgeous! So jealous you saw a turtle! H and I also visited Oahu last October and minus the traffic at times, we really enjoyed it. I definitely think wayyyy too many people overlook Oahu and base their negative opinions on it from only having spent a night or two in Waikiki with maybe an obligatory drive to the North Shore. We spent five nights on the western side of the island and then finished up with 2 nights in Waikiki for a contrast and also having the ability to walk to places.

We had been to Maui before but I wanted to try Oahu this time as I was dying to visit the Arizona. We only had a week to work with and didn't want to island hop for that short a time (coming from the East Coast). Ironically/disappointingly enough, our week coincided with the s*** government shutdown, so no go for the Arizona. We did get to tour the Missouri which I liked and I got to "see" the Arizona but yeah, slap in the face all the same!

But Oahu is just as beautiful I feel!
