place you've been that youwould
like to visit again? That's not an
easy question to answer. First of
all there are very few .places I've
visited that liwoyldn't go back to
again, for I've thoroughly eh-
joyed the many places I've had
the privilege of visiting. Second
of all, though, is that I try to visit
new destinations eh each trip, as
lie 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'llknow 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 lei greeting on
- your arrival, you quickly notice
the warm, hospitable nature of
your hosts, their beautiful ,senile
• 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 destinatipn. 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!

There are a variety of activities
one can do while on Oahu. Whew,
ever I travel, I Make it a point as
soon as possible to joist a tour of
the area I'n} visiting in order to
'familiarize and orientate myself
with the surroundings: I have
foupd this to be very helpful as it
gives you an. idea where you're
at, what's going on and Where. Sp
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 aswe 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
wilt 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

I have been writing about the
Island of Oahu, but there'�S'more,,
much more to the Hawaiian Is-

Kauai, the garden isle. This is the
oldest (and, many claim, love-

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-'
