When you say the word “Hawaii” any where in the world people think “Waikiki”. The neighborhood has cleaned up it’s tawdry tourist image over the past decade with millions spent in re-development. Sidewalk and landscaping improvements have turned formerly drab, cracked concrete into lovely stone paved, meandering pedestrian areas with plenty of little greenspace pockets to relax and watch the waves, shoppers and sunbathers.

As we head towards East Oahu, we will cruise the neighborhoods of Kahala and Aina Hina. Demographics point to this as one of the wealthiest areas of the island.

So sit back and enjoy your Crusin’ through these areas. Who knows, you might spy a famous celebrity!
