Uncle Paul’s World Domination Tour ‘11 Kickoff: O’ahu

summary

My travels for 2011 begin in island style in one of the United States in which I have never visited: Hawai’i. I have the good fortune to live and work here in O’ahu for the next couple of months. As a landlocked native Coloradan, I am really looking forward to getting to know the ocean. It has long been a dream of mine to learn to surf, snorkel, and scuba dive – among other ocean sports. The time has come! There is so much to do in this amazing place, I can feel father time firing up the super-temporal engines already in anticipation of all the fun to be had.

My first excursion was to Makapu’u point and the landmark lighthouse situated there. An easy 2 mile trail winds to the point affording fantastic views the entire way – even the island of Molokai is visible on the horizon. At the point, I simply enjoyed the pleasure of soaking in the view up the Windward (East) coast and watching the parasails float above the towering seaside cliffs.
