I have been to Hawaii only once, I was 15 at the time and I really did not appreciate the experience.  I have an Aunt who still lives on Oahu, when I visited in 1975, she and her husband lived on the island of Kauai.  This is a mix of some of those photos from 1975 with photos from the net of Hawaii.and another H word will be in here too.
