About 5
hours into every flight to Hawaii I start looking out the window. I strain to see
through the clouds looking for that most familiar of all landmarks,
Diamondhead. When I see it, I know I'm home. Andy Cummings wrote the
song, "Waikiki" on a cold, foggy night in Lansing, Michigan. He wanted to
go back to the Islands. I know how Mr. Cummings felt. (Aloha Joe)

Here's a
shot of??? Yes it's Waikiki's main boulevard, Kalakaua Avenue in the '50's.
That's
the Liberty House center frame. The photo was taken directly across the street from
The International Marketplace.
Note: 2-way traffic, parking on the street and
telephone lines in the air. That bus stop is still there. |
