When you hit the beach park - you've gone too far!

Last week I was on Ohau and now I'm on the Big Island before flying back to Amsterdam!

The RC-guide for Google Earth was essential for my trip! Thanks a lot.

I enjoyed my trip a lot! The War Memorial Natatorium is in a terrible shape. You can't go in there anymore....... and we were not very welcome in a hotel nearby Waialae Beach Park. Before I could get out of the car, I was asked to leave........ members only.....

At Robin Nest it was high tide, but I enjoyed being there! And I was not alone.... more Magnum Maniacs were there!

I wish they would fix up the War Memorial Natatorium. It has a great history and purpose, and it fits well into the culture of Oahu with the swimming and the ocean atmosphere. Maybe you pulled into the Waialae Country Club parking lot? I see that it's the next one past the Waialae Beach Park parking lot.

I envy you, and anyone who has visited Oahu. I've only been there virtually myself.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you put the guide to good use! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Yes Iḿ sure it was the parking lot of the Waialae Country Club.

I thought they used the entrance of that club as the entrance of the King Kamehamehaclub.
I don't know.....

When I was there it rained very hard........

Hmm... interesting. Here's an English translation by google. In addition to to linking the Magnum Manina link, I wish they would have linked to your page for the guide and the forum thread.

But perhaps the site is intended primarily for people who speak only French, so I'm happy more people will have a chance to discover and enjoy the guide.

The graphic is very well done!

RC, I posted this in the episode thread, but in case you missed it I'm posting it here (it probably should have been here to begin with)... In case you do another update to the location guide.

From "The Eighth Part of the Village" (3.4):

The pool hall scene with Magnum, T.C., Rick, Mr. Harms (Donald Gibb) and Mr. Jansen (Dick Durock) was filmed on location at the Cebu Pool Hall (Hotel and River Streets), which appears to have been a rather notorious Filipina hangout for many years. The hall was part of the H.Y. Wong building (built in 1906), which at the time of this episode was one of the last remaining wood-flame structures in the downtown Honolulu area. The building was razed in 1992 and replaced with low-income housing.

*Interesting article about the building*

What a beautifully grungy place! I feel like I can smell the stale beer, sweat and cigarette smoke.

"What a beautifully grungy place!" I used to cut school and hang out shooting pool at this pool hall and others in Chinatown. No beer to be had in a pool hall, so if you can smell beer, it comes from next door. I didn't notice any notorious female Pillafeenos all my years there, though.

There is a chance I will be putting this guide to use next year.

I'm trying not to get excited.

Not Cozi related, just finally THAT trip may finally be happening. But that don't mean I may not be able to make something more out of it . . . .

I was wondering if it might be Cozi related....work it Conch!
Either way you'll have a great time.
One thing that I recommend you (or any member) do is snorkel with the sharks (don't worry, you're in a cage).
I did this last month and it was WELL worth it! We went with this company..... http://www.sharktourshawaii.com/
We saw 12 Galapagos sharks -an awesome experience. Felt safe the whole time....just don't try and pet them (that's what they told us out there....makes sense to me).
Keep us posted on your plans!
