Our introduction to “Dole Whip”
The last stop on our tour was the Dole Plantation. We saw a demonstration on how to cut a pineapple and we got to taste the most amazing thing! Dole Whip. This is almost exclusively sold at Disney properties and the plantation. BUT our shuttle driver to the Ala Moana mall told us about a dole whip machine at the Walgreens. So off we went a few days later to find the Walgreens.
A circle tour of Oahu
We took a tour advertised on Trip Advisor which had great reviews for the tour driver/guide- Rebecca: everything the reviews claimed were true! She was terrific. ( She lived in Kenosha for three years when her husband was stationed at Fort Sheridan in Illinois. We were picked up our”digs” about 8 am and dropped back off at 5 pm. LONG day but worth it. The tour included Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay ( the Beach featured in the old movie “ Fron Here to Eternity”, Holona Blowhole, a mac nut farm, Kualoa Beach, Sunset Beach, and the Dole Pineapple plantation.
Hawaii - January 22-February 26, 2018
After planning this trip for three years and cancelling it for two years and ALMOST cancelling it for a third year, here we are!
January 4 , Tom had a stroke and was at Aurora Bay Care for 5 days. He had his arotid artery opened and “scrubbed” and was released twelve days before we left. His doctors all advised us not to cancel our plans and when he saw the surgeon four days before we left, she gave us the green light.
After two days with Gwen, Ramon and Joseph, we flew from Portland, OR to Honolulu on Monday, January 22. The flight was direct on Hawaiian Airlines and it took about 5 1/2 hours. Took our first UBER to our condo At the Aqua Monarch a block off Waikiki beach.

A beautiful edible arrangement from the Tuason’s when we arrived in Portland.
And some challenging puzzling.
