Oahu Trip

Rex and Allegra and their two young sons stayed at our townhouse in Seattle last summer.  This March we enjoyed our half of the house swap, staying at their island home at the foot of Diamond Head.

For the first few days on Oahu, though, we stayed in Waikiki at the Ambassador Hotel, where Pan Am crews used to stay in the 70's.  I remember my dad running along the nearby Ala Wai Canal, and then all of us (Mama, Helen, & Suzy) would head over to the beach to play volleyball at Fort Derussy with Vietnam vets on R & R.

The actual hotel is to the left and not in this photo!

This lovely canal park is just a few blocks from bustling Waikiki.
