| Ko Olina ~ Place of Joy |
| | |
Our short term assignment on O'ahu certainly balances out the assignment in Turkmenistan from years ago. Although each experience has enriched our lives, Hawaii has a visual, sensual beauty that captures your attention on so many levels.
Our apartment is located on the dry leeward side of the island, yet only 1/2 mile from the beach area called Ko Olina.
The resort community is built around four spectacular lagoons connected by a walking path and park environment where local families and tourists mingle on sandy beaches. King Kamehameha's favorite wife, Queen Ka'ahumanu, is said to have enjoyed bathing in the natural coves along the shoreline.
Although I've only just arrived, we have had time to explore the island, mostly just scratching the surface. I am enraptured to discover the rest.
