Togetherness.  The way to live.

My heavens, look at all the skyscrapers. I was there some 35 years
ago. The view from Diamond Head was much different back then.

Is that pink hotel still on the beach?

{Photography.74.1034}: Donald Dozier {donaldpd} Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:02:57 EST (4 lines)

If you look at the first bend in the beach there is a low rise
building.  Just past it is a high rise.  If you look closely you can
see the pink.  The Royal Hawaiian, The Pink Palace of the Pacific.
The big one is Sheraton Waikiki.

Royal Hawaiian ... yes. I couldn't remember the name of it.

The last time (okay, the only time) I was there, I stayed at the
Holiday Inn that was pretty much the last hotel on the strip before
you started going toward Diamond Head.

Sheraton had taken over several, including the Palace a few years
ago.  They had the S Waikiki, the Ala Moana (oldest one there) and
Ala Moana Tower right there in a bunch.  Now there are so many
that "Name it" Waikiki may be two blocks or more from the beach.

Here you go, Jil.

Nice place for a meal. Everything in and around this booger is pink, from the pink chain marking the property line, the lounges, towels, soap, bath robes, bathrooms. It was a pleasant stay.

I only saw it from the outside. I'd love to stay there!

It's nice.  When we were at the Ilikai we had a suite on the front
with two balconies.  I acted like someBODY.  It was also real nice.

I was in Ucluelet, British Columbia earlier this week, on the
western side of Vancouver Island. This was the view from my balcony
at 5 a.m. The moon hadn't yet gone to bed for the day.

And in the daytime ...

{Photography.74.1044}: Donald Dozier {donaldpd} Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:36:13 EDT (1 line)

Nice views.

It was lovely. It was also chilly, but I still slept with the door
open (it was at the foot of my bed) so I could hear the ocean.

{Photography.74.1046}: annie {oceanannie} Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:36:47 EDT (HTML)

Like them a lot! Specially the second one - and I envy you listening to the ocean as you dropped off to sleep.

Ucluelet is wonderful. I stayed in Tofino a few years ago, just up the road.

{Photography.74.1048}: Tom Coleman {tomcoleman} Wed, 13 Mar 2013 00:18:51 EDT (HTML)

Man, its been almost six years now..

{Photography.74.1049}: Jil {rabbit} Wed, 13 Mar 2013 08:46:39 EDT (2 lines)

We drove through Tofino, I believe. (We follow route books, rather
than maps, so we're usually not sure exactly where we are.)

{Photography.74.1050}: Tom Coleman {tomcoleman} Thu, 14 Mar 2013 12:41:53 EDT (HTML)

Tofino is straight up the coast from Ucluelet. Roads dead-end there (out on a peninsula)

I rounded up some of these 35s from our honeymoon. The Speaker hasn't changed a bit.

Sweet!!!

Got an email with a slide show of the reef.  Couldn't find the same
one on line, but these two seem quite nice.

If you copy and paste the top one, less the " marks, it works.

The bottom one is really lovely.

Curses.  They are purty.
