We lived in a tiny housing area across the highway from the beach. There used to be a pineapple field on the other side of the neighborhood that we would walk through to go to school. Also, we never wore shoes to school. That's how laid back it was then. Yes Hawaii was a wonderful place in the 50's. No drug crime, and there were still houses on Honolulu beach area. Mostly rich people though. *sigh*Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313664441343901006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-36769942380542288472014-04-04T10:35:11.855-06:002014-04-04T10:35:11.855-06:00Beautiful country..Paradise..Glad you got to make ...Beautiful country..Paradise..Glad you got to make the trip..I love beautiful scenery and that's it for sure..Have a fun weekend..This N Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660035693962636210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-45165537728752347422014-04-04T10:22:45.400-06:002014-04-04T10:22:45.400-06:00Hi Debra!
