Fun on Oahu


Final Hawaii post. 
Lots and lots of photos to share.
 
We had such a wonderful trip to Hawaii.
I know we travel our fair share, but this was a special adventure for all of us.

We always loved the name of the public bus system when we lived there.

Not to be outdone, The Cab is also in business
 
 
Waiting in line for noodles downtown for lunch one day



The banyan trees were beautiful.  The roots grow from the branches down to the ground and form pseudo trunks.
