Travelin’, visitin’ and such: Mark and Lee Anne Palmer report having the much deserved “trip of a lifetime” while vacationing Hawaii. With lodgings at the Hyatt Regency Resort at Waikiki on the island of Oahu. Some highlights of the adventure were: Nature Shore Island tour, visiting the Arizona at Pearl Harbor, going to visit the Uaimea Valley and viewing the spectacular falls (seeming like being in a Jurasic-like environment). They also enjoyed the pineapple flip drinks at the Dole Pineapple Plantation and the extreme exercise required to hike the trail to the Diamond Head Crater. Thankfully good health and safe travels were with them during this exciting opportunity to go there.
