It's true what they say about Oahu, it really is the gathering place. Most people stop off on Oahu on their way to other islands. What to do if you've only got a day or two? Of course there are the beaches, so many beaches. But there is so much more. We had only 48 hours on Oahu before joining the rest of the family on Kauai. My husband and I had lived on Oahu for the first two years of our Keep Reading >>

The question is met with a shrug, an "I'll have to think about it," or a "I'm Still thinking!" My daughter will be going to middle school next year so I wanted her big gift to be something that she could use for school but also Keep Reading >>
