Ah yes, I have lots of shells and stones. I move them with me. Conch shells, even a couple of Queen conchs. Waikiki is on the island of Oahu. Diamond Head, also. Plenty to see on Oahu. The Punch Bowl, the USS Arizona Memorial. I love to stay at the old Royal Hawaiian. Still lovely and it’s historic. You’ll see it.

Cuz bought a condo there when son was station on the island. They usually go a couple of times a year. Arizona is in my plans...Dad had a high school friend who lost his life on it. Will pay respect for him. He and mom visited it years ago....I'm a beach walker not a beach-laying-in-the-sunner.

They'd would get up early and walk the beach...then go back to room for fresh fruit for breakfast.....Sounds good to me!
Don't imagine I'll be able to find the private/public beach I found in Maine....I do love that rocky coast....littered with starfish and sea urchins.... Have two conch shells, one that dad brought home from the South Pacific.
