Aloha Hawaii
Aloha,
Coming in from San Francisco we land in Honolulu (meaning in Hawaiian: place of shelter”), just to catch another short flight that brings us over to the island of Lanai. A new experience for both of us.

Manele Bay Lanai
Lanai is a pretty small island and our hotel is located at Lanai City – a rather moderate little town. We walk through downtown in less than a quarter of an hour that first night. The dinner at the hotel restaurant is very fancifully arranged but we both feel a little squeamish afterwards.
The next day we take the shuttle down to Manele Bay, a nice sandy beach at the ocean with an elaborately detailed resort and later on we take a shuttle in the other direction to a lodge with a gorgeous garden in the back.

Landscape on Lanai
We discover that we could have walked there from our hotel so we decide to stroll back instead of taking the shuttle again. Lanai is a nice green island but after our visit we agree to go there again only after turning 80 years old.
Mahalo for reading this blog and come back soon.
Best wishes, Honu
