I ma After cruising up the coast of Mexico and lower California we sighted Point Loma Light on the morning of the 28th of January. The tranquility of the Pacifi-c was a soothing tonic after battling the seas of the Atlantic. San Diego's location is such that we en- countered no difficulty in finding good enter- tainment. Some of us ventured south of the border to Mexico's Tiajuana, a border town thriving on the influx of tourists from America. Walking down the main street of the town we realized that this ,wasn't one of those sleepy Mexican towns that you find publicized in travel folders. lt's main attractions were the famous Jai-Ali games and during the .season, the bull fights. In the San Diego area we visited such popu- lar vacation resorts as Balboa Park, Coron-ada, Crown Point Beach and La Jolla, one of the most popular beach resorts in the country. The three wonderful days on the west coast passed all too fast, and on the morning of the 3lst we shipped out to sea, and had our last glimpse of America for some time to come.

On the morning of the 30th of January, the familiar landmark of Hawaii, Diamond Head loomed into view. Words are inadequatelto catch the beauty of this land with its emerald green waters, white sand beaches and the palm trees easing majestically to the mountains. That first impression of Hawaii's beauty was not lessened when we made tours of the island proper. We spent our few -hours on the island of Oahu basking in the sun along the beach at Wakiki, or sitting. in the cool of the evening on the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian sipping long, cool, refreshing drinks, with names we couldn't read much less understand. Others spent their time at Trader Vic's, Don the Beachcomber's or the other famous night spots of this resort center. - 995' naw Q 1 , . . . 2, . '. 9 l, , or VI' ll if ,M x -' t f 1 f ' W ll Il ff, On our lastday most of us took tours of the island, and every minute spent was enjoyed by everyone. On the windward side of Oahu, it was a far cry from the 'hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu, or the tourist laden Wakiki area. Here was nature at its best. Billowy white clouds gave pleasant relief from the hot tropical sun and an ocean breeze whis- pered through the palms. Nor will we forget the view from Pali Pass overlooking the North side of the island as the land rolls down to the white breaker covering the beaches below. Our stay in Hawaii was short but was enough to convince us that some day we'd have to re- turn and really enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of Hawaii, The Gem of the Pacific .
