Well folks, as sad as it may seem, today was our last full day in paradise!  Started off in the morning driving north around Diamond Head and Coco Head to see the Kalona Blow Hole.  It was a bit pathetic today as the windward side of the island was remakably calm.  Then off we went past Big Sandy beach to Makapu'u point.  Wow, what a view towards the Kanaohe Peninsula and Waiamanolo Beach as well as Bellows Beach.  Here's that view:

On we went to Bellows beach and Waiamanolo Beach.  They comprise the longest continuous beach on Oahu at 17 miles long.  We visited the Bellows AFB site and saw the cottages and other dwellings that can be rented by military personnel.  This is one of the prettiest beaches on the island for sure.  From there we headed up Wahiawa to visit the house Vanessa lived in when she was born.  46 Kukui St!!  The little old Japanese man who lives there now got a little spooked by a bunch of white people taking pictures of his house!!  Funny stuff.  Onwards to Hickam AFB for a nice lunch and then home to do some swimming before dinner.  Our last nght dinner was great as we visited Benihanna's of Tokyo.  Awesome dinner.  A walk around Waikiki and back tot he room to polish off our last bottle of wine.  Tomorrow afternoon we will take the rental car back and head tot he airport for the long, sad flightg home.  This has been a great vacation and one we will never forget.  I think Kevin and Irma feel the same.  I'll make one more post after we get home. 

Thanks for following us on our first blogging vacation.

Love, Kenn and Karen
