Busy Oahu
... br>
On the return trip, on Friday afternoon, we got caught up with a lot of workers returning home, and so the detour was painfully slow. We headed South to Waikiki beach and had some time to wander around this busy area before returning our rental car and going back to the beach. A sort of stressful day, which is not really what we wanted in ...
