Holoholo to the Windward Side

Lanikai Beach

Holoholo = Going out for fun and relaxation.

Windward Oahu

Yesterday we went holoholo since I finished my weekend project for work earlier than expected.

For us to get to the windward side we just needed to take a quick trip over the H3 freeway. After passing through the tunnel you are greeted with this view of Kaneohe Bay.

Windward Oahu

We headed over to the windward side of Oahu today for some lunch, window shopping at Windward Mall, and driving around Kailua side.

Can’t wait until summer when there will be more time to go holoholo!

It was actually your posts of going out on the weekends that made me want to go holoholo too.

Hi Joy,
Next time if it’s a nice sunny day, head on over to the windward side. It’s so lush and green with some nice beaches!

Your state is also so beautiful, especially during winter!

Packed a cooler of beer, picked up some raw crab poke and other goodies from the fish shop, and we were all set. Nothing like that over here!

That place with the two islands is called Lanikai beach. It has really soft sand!
