Arnold Arrived

Arnold arrived at the Honolulu airport at 1.30 PM as scheduled. We've got a pretty full agenda of sight seeing and boat work ahead of us. We may rent a car in the last week of March to assist us with provisioning the boat. In the meantime we'll rely on the excellent bus service to explore the island.

One can take the No. 52 bus out of Honululu, up the middle of Ohau through two tunnels and over the mountains to the north shore at Waialua Bay, then to the east to Turtle Bay at the NE tip, then down the east cost through Kahaluu, Kaneoche, and back to Honolulu. Trip takes about three hours offers an extensive experience of the terrain and daily life. The cost is $2 per person. I know because Brenda and I did it.

We'll probably also take the No. 40 bus along the south side of the island, past Pearl City, Waipahu, Makakilo, then up the west coast to Makaha for another $2 per person.

For the $2 you get one transfer, which means that you can get off the bus at some pleasant seas side town as Brenda and I did, have lunch, look around, then get on the next bus to return to Honolulu.
