It's the northwestern-most point on the island of Oahu, and for only a short drive away from Honolulu the difference in the crowd is like night and day. My dad and I had rented a car for the weekend since he didn't need to go into work until Monday. The day before that we had …
My dad and I were in Waikiki while he was on a business trip and had just rented a car for our last weekend there. We wanted to drive around and see more of the island than we normally could just taking Uber or walking around. That morning we started it off strong by going …
