A week or two on Oahu.

[JB]

My former wife (now a widow) and I would like to take our four adult (38 to 48) children and some of their children to Oahu next year for a week or two.<br /><br />We met and married there in 1955 and would like to visit places that stir memories.. . .Barbers Point, Hanauma Bay, Hotel Street, etc. and, of course, Waikiki, Makaha, USS Arizona.<br /><br />We were thinking of renting a house on the water or up in the heights above Pearl Harbor or Honolulu.<br /><br />Thoughts or suggestions from residents or Kama-ainas?<br /><br />Aloha nui loa.

Re: A week or two on Oahu.

jb, been there done it quite a few times. what a great place to visit every so often. here's a suggestion- place an add in one of the military newspapers asking for a house to rent for a week or two. ask the question, "will you be deployed during the month of ...?" you may be able to grab a nice house at a decent price from a sailor or marine that will be gone anyway. they're always looking to score a few extra bucks.

Re: A week or two on Oahu.

Thanks, Mattttt. Hadn't thought of that. <br /><br />One of our Daughters is a CDR in USNR (Medical), her husband is a retired Master Chief Corpsman. They have talked of staying at Ft. Shafter. <br /><br />Your suggestion just might put the rest of us up.<br /><br />Too bad Barbers Point is no longer a NAS. Daughter and I were both stationed there in VR-21 (20 years apart).

jb- also, if you are retired, you can stay in one of the best hotels in all of hawaii at a great price- the hale koa. just another thought.<br /><br />but i think my first suggestion would work. good luck-
