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 .
