Now you are showing your true colours!!

That's a local island yoke, egghead :-).

Hmm...."colours" eh? No wonder you think Waikiki is wonderful.
Cold up there, eh? Causes one to be just a tad humour-impaired?

LMAO

I like Maui, Kauai and Big Island over Oahu anyday. People in the
travel business seem to push Oahu, LOL. Oh, I'd like to go to Molokai.

The operative word there is "business" :-).

Now we have a wise person posting here. Molokai is the antithesis of
Oahu. I first went there 34 years ago with only a backpack and a
desire to explore. Lived in Halawa Valley off the land. No one within
miles. Private beach, stunning scenery, waterfalls -- a real Paradise.

We went back to Molokai last week and not much has changed in the
intervening years. Total population around 7500 -- on the entire
island. Friendly people. We did the day long tour on Kalaupapa (Father
Damien's leper colony), hiked Halawa Valley with a 100% Hawaiian who
now lives there growing taro on his ancestor's land, drove to the
Waikolu Overlook then hiked the Kamakou Preserve in a cloud forest,
toured the highest sea cliffs in the world and saw the "Wall of Tears"
waterfalls there, went out on a boat for whale watching, and spent a
day on the 4-mile long Popohaku Beach (where Waikiki got its sand).

But don't tell anybody about this island. Send them to Waikiki. g

A lot of people who disparage Oahu have never ventured outside the
Waikiki-downtown-airport corridor. KM

You are invited to visit my Molokai webpage at:
~ http://keith.martin.home.att.net/vMolokai.html - where you'll find
information about the island, its history, its culture, its mythology, its
geography, its people and its attractions, but, you won't find any pop-ups,
advertising, cookies or things for sale. Bon virtual voyage until you can
have bon voyage! KM

Actually the population of Molokai has dipped a little in the last 34 years.
During the last Census, the population was 6,587 and is probably a little
less at this time. KM

Thanks for the info/ links on Molokai, AlohaCyber.
About the Oahu comment that it's more than Waikiki. I do know that, and
have enjoyed visiting Pearl Harbor, Leeward Coast, Windward coast,
Hanauma Bay, Pali lookout, Sealife Park, Polynesian Cultural Center,
North shore beaches (Waimea Walls park), Hale'iwa town and the Dole
plantation. I'm not knocking Oahu: just saying I find the tropical
beauty of the other islands a better vacation experience for me. :-)

I meant Waimea Falls Park, although I'll comment that it's more
commercial now than it was when I first went in 1980.
