Moving to Windward Coast

5/1/2009

I loved the conveniences offered by Honolulu such as good lodging, dining and shopping. But after staying in Honolulu for five days, it’s time to see the rest of Oahu.

Bye bye Honolulu.

We moved to windward coast (east side) of Oahu today. Windward coast receives more rain, so it’s the wetter and more lush part of the island.

No more waking up early by traffic noise. No more high rise condos. No more crowds.

It will be all peace and serenity starting tomorrow. 🙂

The traffic pattern of Honolulu is like this: busy traffic going in Honolulu in the morning and busy traffic going out of Honolulu in the afternoon.

Good luck to you if you are on the busy side of the lane.

After 45 minutes of driving, we reached our cottage (north of Kaneohe).

Oh yeah, baby. I see no traffic! Om ….
