That's not an easy question to answer, First of all there are very few places I've visited that I wouldn't go back to again, for I've thoroughly en- joyed the many places I've had the privilege of visiting. Second of all, though, is that I try to visit new destinations on each trip, as life is short and there are many, many interesting and exciting countries which I hope yet to see. However, if there was one place I want to revisit sometime, that place would have to be the Paradise Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific. For those of you who have been there you'll know what I'm talking about, for those who have not been there, let me as- sure you that Hawaii is every- thing you've ever imagined it to , be and more. From the moment you step off your- jet aircraft at Honolulu International Airport and the warm, friendly Id greeting on your arrival, you quickly notice the warm, hospitable nature of your hosts, their beautiful smile and above all their sincere, genu- ine interest in making sure you have a pleasant and enjoyable vacation. Hawaii is a year-round vaca- tion destination. In the summer the average daytime tempera- ture is around 85 degrees and during the winter months around. 80 degrees. We visited Hawaii in January which proved to be a great time of. year, and for most Canadians you'll be glad to hear there's Very low humidity and no pesky mosquitos to bother you. As soon as you enter the Termi- nal Building at the ultra-modern Honolulu Airport one of the many beautiful Hawaiian Wahines (which is Hawaiian for "girls") comes to you, places a flower lei around your neck, and gives the men a kiss. What a welcome! What a welcome! The Island of'Qahu Oahu is known as the gathering place. From downtown Honolulu, bustling commercial capital of the Pacific, to the tranquillity of Makaha Valley... from the miles 124 suIga0,ane And pineapple fields to the beaches and glittering nightlife of Waikiki. , . Oahu is where Hawaii's action is happen- ing. There are a variety,of activities one can do while on Oahu, When- ever I travel, I make it a point as soon as possible to join a tour of the area I'm visiting in order to familiarize and orientate myself with the surroundings, I have found this to be very helpful as it gives you an idea where you're at, what's going on and where. So one of the many things we did was to first take an all-day tour around the Island of Oahu. This was very enjoyable and worth- while as we travelled through some of the most scenic areas you'll ever encounter. We stop- ped at a Pineapple Station and sampled some of the delicious and fresh Hawaiian pineapple. We watched sugar cane in har- vest, and stopped periodically here and there to take in the beautiful scenery. terest we visited while on Oahu were Paradise Park, Situated in Manoa Valley, the Park is an ex- tensive tropical exhibit set amidst varied gardens, mountain streams and waterfalls. Over 1,- 000 tropical birds inhabit the Park, which features a pageant of trained birds, one of the world's largest free-flight aviar- ies and trails through forest and tropical jungle growth. We also visited the Polynesian Cultural Centre at Laie. Located on the north shore of Oahu, the Centre is operated by the Mormon Church and is made up of six native vil- lages representative of those in Fiji, Tonga, the Maori of New Zealand, Tahiti, Samoa and Hawaii. These villages are in- habited by native people from these islands. During the after- noon you tour through each of the villages and in the evening you will see a superb performance in the amphitheatre with sound and light effects. The Cultural Centre is a must during your stay on Oahu, Sea Life Park is another at- traction you should visit, Situated on the site of an ancient fishing village across from Makapuu Point and Lighthouse, it is one of the finest displays of sea life in America, including a spiral-de- signed reef, a 300,000 gallon coral reef lagoon, porpoise theatre and whaler's cove. Another must is the Pearl Harbour Cruise which leaves twice daily from the Hono- lulu harbour. You cruise down the coastline of Honolulu into Pearl Harbour, view the USS UTAH where she rests in memory of her crew still aboard, continue around Ford Island to world famous "Battleship Row", past the Arizona and the Memorial erected in her honour. The most familiar landmark on Oahu of course, is the world-renowned Diamond Head which bounds Waikiki Beach on the south. An extinct volcano, it is said to have once been the home of Pele, the Fire Goddess. Shopping of course is an exer- cise of self restraint in Hawaii. There's the International Market Place which is located in the heart of Waikiki. Here you will find a wonderful world of shop- ping, browsing, eating and re- laxation. You can spend a for- tune. . . or not spend a dime. . and have a fabulous time in the most fantastic market place in the Pacific. Then there's the largest shopping center in the world, the ultra-modern Ala Moana Shopping Center. You can spend an entire day at this center and never enter the same store twice. It's just a shopper's para- dise. Travelling does strange things to people. When at home there's nothing I despise more than shopping. . • I think most , men are like this. However, when on a trip and my wife suggests we go shopping, I don't mind, and to be quite honest with you, I rather enjoy it. I have been writing about the Island of Oahu, but there's more, much more to the Hawaiian Is- lands than just Oahu. There's Kauai, the garden isle. This is the oldest (and, many claim, love- liest) island in the Hawaiian chain. It's lush, green- and tropi- cal, the. Polynesian Paradise of song and legend. With its quiet rivers, splendid beaches and South Seas langour, Kauai has been the favoured location for films like "South Pacific" in which the island starred as the mythical "Bali Hai". Maui, the Valley Isle, acquired its nickname from the great sweep of rolling valley that links the two Volcanoes which formed the island. Mile after mile of white sansl, }peaches parallel scenic dil4ei fiaat mountain ens- cades and pools. Lahaina is bright town whose rowdy whaling past is recalled in shops and cele- brations which co-exist peace- fully with the arts and crafts of tomorrow. It is linked by the quaint, narrow-gauge Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad with the beautiful new resort area of Kaanapali, Hawaii, the Orchid Isle. The Big Island lives up to its name in every sense. It's large in both size and variety. Here are smoldering volcanoes, wild orchids, black sand beaches, Kona coffee SUNFLIGHT INCLUDES: Round trip jet flight from Toronto by Air Canada DC 8 Complimentary in-flight meals and bar ser- vice Air conditioned accommodations With bath and full use of resort facilities Welcome rum punch party Transfers between airport and hotel and return including the handling and tipping for one piece of baggage per person Sunflight beach bag In addition to being personally escorted by Earl and Nora Rawson there will be a Sun- flight Representative service in Jamaica DEPARTS JANUARY 28, 1973 ONLY $369.00 per person Based on" tWoOe-isoni sharing twin-bedded room.
