A Little Island Hopping

Last week we did a little scouting for business opportunities. We started on Lana'i and ended up on Oahu. We got some good ideas, and some rest and saw some beautiful places.




View of the Fourseasons at Manele Bay from the beach. There are great rates available for kama'aina (locals). It's off season, and a still a bit slow.





Maui on the left, and Kaho'olawe on the right. On a clear day, you can see Hawaii Island behind Kaho'olawe.

The sitting room. The entire resort has a Chinese theme.






One of the many murals depicting a traditional Chinese wedding.

Lana'i City. Sounds, looks and smells like a little Colorado town.





We had forgotten how much croquet sucks. Apparently others had not, as the courts were all vacant. I almost scored a sextuple peel, but when I missed I went back to taking pictures.






Growing on a Banyon Tree.











An aircraft hanger on Ford Island abandoned after the December 7, 1941 attack and showing damage caused by the explosion of the USS Arizona (blown out windows).





The original control tower on Ford Island.






That'll carry a lot of Twinkies...
