On Oahu—where I was born, went to high school, and completed my first two years of college—we'll be catching-up with several boyhood friends. And going to the beach. One of my favorite beaches on the island is called Lanikai. It is in Kailua, which is right next to my hometown of Kaneohe. Lanikai Beach is gorgeous. It's popular, and it's not very big, so there's usually a crowd (and very little parking). But the water is perfect: gentle, shallow and turquoise blue (more like the Mediterranean than the North Pacific). It's perfect for children and those grown-ups who are not interested in extreme water sports. It's just beautiful.
