Today is our last day in Hawaii and, naturally, we spent a few hours at the beach. In the town of Kailua—on the Windward side of Oahu, near my hometown of Kaneohe—sits the small, quaint beach called Lanikai. It's a tiny little spit of sand (with even less parking) but it has the gentlest, most beautiful water imaginable. Across Kailua Bay one can see planes taking-off and landing at the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station. And a little island, 100 yards off shore, tempts one to swim across to it (though I never have). What this beach lacks in solitude and spaciousness, it makes-up in atmosphere and loveliness.
Back to the Pittsburgh cold tomorrow!
