Here is a map, showing our travels in Oahu......Greg made one of these for each of the islands:
None of our party had ever been to any of the islands of Hawaii, so stepping out of the airport to investigate and begin our adventure was thrilling to each of us. The anticipation of surfers, leis, luaus, and pineapple filled our heads with visions which we had conjured throughout our long journey from the mainland.
Oahu is home to Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, and of course, one of the main attractions these days: The LOST filming venues! Yes, LOST.....the series on tv that was so popular a few years back. That was one of our challenges.....we wanted to find places where they shot Lost and perhaps get a glimpse of Sawyer or Kate! Thanks to Greg's mapping and research, we were able to see a few of the places where our beloved series was filmed but alas, did not see any of the stars. Here is a photo of the Buddhist Temple and Dharmaville, where some of the scenes were held:
One of the places that practically everyone visits is the Dole Pineapple plantation. We learned that several types of pineapples exist and they grow close to the ground.......This was a beautiful site and set the tone for our week long adventure: Tune in for more from Oahu!!!!
