Waikiki 2009 - Honolulu, HI

It's recently been cold and rainy lately. The weather has been gloomy for the past week. It made me terribly miss the summer weather. When I think of warm weather and sunshine, it made me think of Hawaii.

We made a road trip of the island on our last trip. I've seen places where locals thread and found a simple way of life. It's basically sun, surf and lunch plate. How can you ask for more?

After the recent elections, the New York times published some photos of the town where President-elect O grew up. He recently visited his childhood town to the beach he used to surf growing up. You can tell from the photos the rusticity way of life. An admirable feat of humble beginnings.

Here are some random shots of the Waikiki scene:





This has an open air food court. Also, one of the few cheap eats in Waikiki.



Outside the Int'l Marketplace. Across the street is the Outrigger Hotel.


The weeklong Hula Week. Taken outside Beachwalk area.




Not too sweet cream puffs. They can also be found in NYC and NJ.



The Royal Hawaiian Resort. The view from the mall.
