Day 4
|
After having spent about 5 hours under the sun in Bellows yesterday, a lot of us were pretty much out of commission this day.

And we kept away from the sun as much as it was possible to do in a tropical island.

On the way back to the house in Waipahu, they stopped at the Mililani Memorial Park to visit Uncle Joe's grave. Upon entering the gate, take the 1st left, where it forks, turn right and the first big tree on the left is the spot.

...breeze under a full moon partially hiding behind passing clouds. The ocean's waves crash against the solid walls of this hotel's foundation, all the while we sip our tropical cocktails under a canopy of masonry but widely open to the beach, infinity pool and to the tall palm trees.
