Aloha from Waikiki
The sun is out and all is very relaxing - the view from my balcony is great. From what I'd read, I was expecting Waikiki to be more commercial and built up - but there is lots of green around - even the pink of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel next door, in front of me, seams to fit.
Given that more than half the view is the wonderfully blue Pacific Ocean - it would be hard to build hotels on! It is too shallow for anything bigger than the couple of catamarans that do short trips from the beach to navigate - so no cruise liners moored too close - having said that the occasional large freighter does cross the near horizon. The current headline news here in Hawaii is about containers on one of these visitors to the islands that have brought unwanted visitors to the state in the form of yellow backed wasps in a shipment of Christmas trees! The fact that that is headline news indicates how worry free the atmosphere is!
