Whether work-related or during precious spare time I did explore more of southeastern Oahu than I had <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=22797\">on my previous trip<\/a>. Unfortunately I couldn&#8217;t linger much and truly take the time to appreciate it. Even so, I now have ideas for someday when I return to Hawaii as a tourist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nu&#8217;uanu Pali Lookout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/52809751149\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52809751149_2708d03d50_b.jpg\" alt=\"Nu'uanu Pali Lookout. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Oahu is a lot more than Honolulu although you have to make an effort to get there. Honolulu is a big American-style city with towering buildings and stifling traffic that just happens to occupy a lovely setting. However things improve dramatically just a few miles beyond the sprawl. Case in point, the amazing lookout at Nu&#8217;uanu Pali sat just six miles northeast of the state capitol (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/r5i6saKpAKAU3gaM6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). Punching through afternoon rush hour took some patience although the scenery far outweighed the hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two mountain ranges dominate the island, both weathered remains of former shield volcanoes. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ko%CA%BBolau_Range\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ko&#8217;olau<\/a> is the eastern one and people have to go over it or around it if they want to visit the windward side of the island. Fortunately the mountain also has a gap and the Pali Highway crosses there, with a particularly scenic wayside at the top. A crazy hurricane-force wind blew at this altitude and I feared I&#8217;d loose my phone over the side. But I found a way to brace myself and I took a few photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interpretive signs explained some additional historical significance at this spot. This was a battlefield in 1795 when King Kamehameha united Oahu under his singular rule. Many warriors died gruesomely at Nu\u2019uanu Pali; forced over the side of the cliff during the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lanikai Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/52808981862\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52808981862_ab2844fba1_b.jpg\" alt=\"Lanikai Beach. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beaches on the windward side of Oahu are some of the most beautiful I&#8217;ve ever seen.  I dropped down from the Ko&#8217;olau ridge into the town of Kailua. Then I hugged the coast until arriving at Lanikai Beach (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/xGJPXhPKSPbk19oE6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). Parking is scarce but a spot magically appeared at one of the public access trails to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfectly calm turquoise water met some of the most finely-grained sugary sand imaginable. So, this more than any other place I&#8217;ve ever experienced, embodied the tropical paradise ethos. I had time to wade up to my knees and unfortunately little else before I had to return to Honolulu. I could spend a day or several here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lanai at Pearl Harbor-Hickam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/52812115996\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52812115996_6154c66305_b.jpg\" alt=\"Lanai at Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The scenery never stopped. One day we had to grab lunch between meetings at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The base offered several options including a casual restaurant called The Lanai (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/QgqMPbqwq8zRubEm9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). So that&#8217;s what we did, we dined on the lanai (e.g., porch or veranda) of The Lania. The scenic view offered a bonus too, a view of the runway at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. Commercial and military jets shared the space. A Southwest or United airline jet bound for the mainland might roll by and prepare for takeoff, soon to be followed by a series of military fighters. It was a nicer backdrop than I usually enjoy during a quick bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Palm Circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/52815284659\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52815284659_e6d7692e33_b.jpg\" alt=\"Palm Circle - Fort Shafter. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Military bases in Hawaii seemed like nice places to be stationed. I&#8217;m sure one could do much worse. One day I had a chance to take a quick windshield tour of Fort Shafter in Honolulu. A lot of it&#8217;s pretty typical for a military facility but it also had a special centerpiece: Palm Circle (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Pc3KD9hKBnRFvoK48\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). This is where the general officers lived. Some of their rather impressive dwellings appear in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, the circle was a parade ground dating to the founding of the fort in the early 1900&#8217;s. It&#8217;s the oldest U.S. military base on Oahu and it still serves as the army&#8217;s Hawaiian headquarters &#8212; the Pineapple Pentagon. During World War II, the entirety of Army forces in the Pacific theater were commanded from this location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kalaniana&#8217;ole Highway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/52812085371\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52812085371_06a8ce5ed7_b.jpg\" alt=\"Kalanianaole Highway.

Towering cliffs interspersed with pristine beaches dotting the Kalaniana&#8217;ole Highway. In quick succession I passed Hawaii Kai, Lanai Lookout, Sandy Beach, and finally Makapuu Beach where I turned around (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/uHHCuZ3DVE7c8Y5A7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three days passed quickly. Way too quickly. Then it was time for my next stop: Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Articles in the Asia-Pacific Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31102\">Oahu: Honolulu Waterfront<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31116\">Oahu: Beyond Waikiki<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31131\">Japan: Tokyo Temples and Tourists<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31138\">Japan: Exploring Tokyo<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31148\">Japan: Farther Afield<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31156\">South Korea: Seoul<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31161\">South Korea: The DMZ<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31177\">Postscript: Interesting Signs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/?p=31181\">Postscript: Brew It<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>See Also: The <a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/albums\/72177720307441882\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complete Photo Album<\/a> on Flickr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t spend all of my limited time strictly within the confines of Waikiki Beach and downtown Honolulu.
