I went to Honolulu with my younger brother last November. We visited the island to sprinkle my mom’s ashes off Oahu’s beach. Hawaii was her favorite destination. The weather was very calm and nice during the stay of four days.

We headed to Moanalua Gardens where large monkeypod trees of over 130 years old stand. Last time we were lost on the way as there were no road signs to the park near there. So we decided to go there by a GPS equipped car this time.

Beautiful Kailua Kona Beach. It is just Northwest of the island. I just wanted to stay there.
