Our Daily Travel Map for Oahu on May 5, 2015.  Today, we drove down the windward coast, make a stop at the post office to ship some things home, stopped in Kaneohe again, then drove over the Pali Highway to Honolulu, made a wrong turn and got rerouted through some of downtown back on to H-1 to head out to the Ko’Olina Resorts on the leeward coast.  Got tied up in traffic between Honolulu and the separation of H-1 and H-2 west of Pearl City/Aiea. Smooth sailing out to see the “new” resorts, then back tracked to the western highway to cross the island to Haleiwa and return to Turtle Bay…  Nice drive except for Honolulu traffic….

Stopped at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu. This is the final resting place for the mortal remains of St. Marianne Cope, who was canonized just two and a half years ago. She was raised in Utica, and became a Franciscan Nun in Syracuse before moving to Honolulu and Molokai to help Fr. Damien care for lepers on the secluded north shore of Molokai.

Commercializing on Paradise at its height: the “new” Hukilau Marketplace at the Polynesian Cultural Center…

The sun rises on Marianne’s Birthday in Paradise.  Dawn temperatures in the low 60’s, but rising quickly on a nice sunny day with a light breeze…

Here is a link to our travels for our third day on Oahu.  Spent time at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet & Flea Market, then a little mall shopping at Pearl Ridge Center, followed by a scenic ride home through the H-3 Tunnel to Kaneohe and back up the windward coast back to Turtle Bay Resort.
