Honolulu

Join me on one of my favorite drives anywhere: through Nu'uanu Valley's rain forest and along the lush coast road to the North Shore.

Experience breathtaking views of Windward Oahu from the Pali Lookout, where the trade winds have messed up my hair from age 12. Transport back in time and place to ancient Japan and a re-created Buddhist temple: the Byodo-In. Sample macadamia nuts and Kona Coffee at the starting point of my mom's 80th birthday celebration, across the street from where 'Jurassic Park' and several TV shows are filmed. For lunch, I have a favorite North Shore shrimp truck, a more upscale cafe and a bakery with the best cream pies ever.

You'll see legendary surf spot Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and a beach popular with sea turtles. Great souvenir shopping and people watching in historic Haleiwa Town. Nature lovers won't want to miss Waimea Valley. Or take a ride on Dole Plantation's Pineapple Express train.
