For 25c you can go just +about anywhere including around the island.

They both circle the island but in different +directions. If you stay on the same bus for the entire trip, you'll have +to pay another 25c at Ala Moana for the #8 bus which takes you back to +Waikiki. Should you get off during your trip and board another bus, +request a transfer to use at the Ala Moana Center. + +=Remember=: + + Take exact change.

Box 6037, Honolulu, HI 96818. + + [Illustration] + + + + + WEATHER + + +Oahu weather is beautifully balmy, as near to perfection as you're +likely to get on this globe. Temperatures are generally in the seventies +in the winter; in the summer they creep up into the eighties. The +average range in Honolulu varies only seven degrees between August, the +hottest part of the year, and January, the coolest time. The difference +between day and night peaks is about 12 degrees. At Waikiki the ocean +fluctuates narrowly between 75 and 82. In other words, if it's summer +you want, you've come to the right place. + +The island is air conditioned by northeasterly trade winds which blow +almost all the time and usher in an occasional shower. During spring and +summer these rains are few and come mostly at night. In winter the +trades are sometimes replaced by Kona winds coming up from the south +with sticky or stormy weather in tow. But Kona winds are infrequent and +rarely last more than a couple days. + +Rainfall varies greatly according to local conditions. It's wetter to +the windward of the mountains and fairly dry on the leeward coast. The +average rainfall in Waikiki is about 20 to 25 inches per year, slightly +more in Honolulu. + + [Illustration] + + + + + OAHU'S PAST + + +The volcanic cataclysms that pushed Oahu through the surface of the +Pacific four to six million years ago originated in a fault in the +earth's crust at the bottom of the ocean. Complete with rumbling, +sputtering and spectacular fireworks, it was a dramatic premiere +performance. Today this gentle island, green and golden, belies its +violent birth. A millennium of rain, sunshine, waves and trade winds have +sculpted Oahu into a tropical jewel of lush valleys, mountains and +curved sandy beaches. + +The Polynesians were the first to successfully sail the vast reaches of +the uncharted Pacific to land in Hawaii. They dragged their huge +double-hulled canoes ashore more than 1000 years ago. The original +inhabitants of Oahu from the Marquesas Islands were followed by several +waves of Tahitian immigrants. + +Their primitive way of life came to an end with the arrival of Captain +Cook in 1778. By the middle of the 19th century Honolulu Harbor had +become a key Pacific port for whalers, sandalwood and fur traders. In +1850 the Hawaiian Royal Court moved permanently to Honolulu which has +been the seat of government for monarchy, republic, territory and state. + +Immigrants came to Hawaii's tropical shores in continuing waves. New +England missionaries made their first hazardous trip around Cape Horn in +1820 bringing new concepts of religion, agriculture, commerce and +democratic government. As the native population dwindled due to western +diseases, laborers were needed to work the fields for the rapidly +growing sugar industry. Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants +followed by Koreans, Portuguese and Puerto Ricans added new languages +and cultures to the island population. + +In 1893 a provisional government was set up to replace the monarchy and +one year later the Republic of Hawaii was founded. The islands were +annexed by the U.S. in 1898 and made a territory in 1900. In 1959 Hawaii +first flew the stars and stripes as a full-fledged state. + +Today Oahu welcomes an astounding number of visitors to share its exotic +scenery, eternal summer climate and warm aloha spirit. + + [Illustration] + + + + + SUGAR AND PINEAPPLE + + +People the world over have enjoyed the sweet and succulent products the +Hawaiian Islands are famous for--sugar and pineapple. These are the two +most important agricultural industries in the archipelago. Pineapple can +grow at higher elevations and needs less water than sugar cane so the +crops don't compete for the same lands. Because Hawaii must import most +essentials from the U.S. mainland, the export of sugar and pineapple is +an important factor in the state's balance of trade. Also, with the +world running low on verdant spaces, sugar and pineapple are keeping +Oahu green. + + + SUGAR + +Sugar cane came to the islands in the hulls of the great canoes those +early Polynesians sailed across the Pacific. Hawaiians planted it as a +windbreak around their homes and broke off sections to chew when they +traveled. + +The first sugar plantation in Hawaii was started in Manoa Valley on Oahu +in 1825 and the first export recorded was two tons in 1837. The Royal +Hawaiian Agricultural Society was instrumental in bringing the initial +shipment of Chinese laborers to work the fields in 1852. This was the +beginning of waves of immigrant workers who have contributed a wealth of +cultural diversity to Hawaii. + +Cane on Oahu takes about two years to mature. The industry is highly +mechanized and has virtually eliminated hand labor. Just before harvest, +whole fields of cane are deliberately set on fire. This destroys +unwanted leaves and other trash and does not affect the sugar content. + +Hawaii's sugar industry is recognized as the world's leader in sugar +technology and production and its workers are among the highest paid +full-time agricultural workers in the world. + + [Illustration: Sugar Cane Fields Burning] + + + + + PINEAPPLE + + +Pineapple was first introduced to the islands by a counselor to King +Kamehameha the Great in 1813. Today's industry got its greatest impetus +from Captain John Kidwell, an English horticulturist who searched the +world for a pineapple variety that would be most suitable to Hawaii. The +Jamaican variety known as the Smooth Cayenne which he introduced is +still the predominant strain grown in Hawaii. + +In 1899 a young New Englander, James B. Dole, built a cannery next to +pineapple growing on his own lands in Wahiawa on Oahu. The first year's +output in 1903 was 1800 cases. Today the Dole company packs this amount +in just a few minutes. + +Pineapple takes nearly two years of careful tending before it matures. +Then each low-growing plant yields only one fruit. A year later the same +plant will produce one or two more pineapples; then the whole process +must be repeated. + +At harvest time, pickers move through the fields placing the fruits on +long-armed conveyors, a process which at the peak of the season +continues on into the night with the help of lighted booms. + +Only those who have tasted a field-ripened Hawaiian pineapple know what +real pineapple is all about. The airport is full of enlightened visitors +who are taking cartons of these succulent fruits home with them. + + [Illustration: Hawaii produces 45% of the total world production of + pineapple.] + + [Illustration] + + + + + [Illustration: OAHU] + + + + + [Illustration: WAIKIKI] + + +Major hotels + + 1 Ala Moana + 2 Aloha Surf + 3 Ambassador + 4 Breakers + 5 Cinerama Edgewater + 6 Cinerama Reef + 7 Cinerama Reef Towers + 8 Coral Reef + 9 Coral Seas + 10 Hale Koa + 11 Halekulani + 12 Hawaii Dynasty + 13 Hawaiian Regent + 14 Hilton Hawaiian Village + 15 Holiday Inn + 16 Holiday Inn + 17 Holiday Isle + 18 Hyatt Regency Waikiki + 19 Ilikai + 20 Ilima + 21 Imperial Hawaii + 22 Kaimana Beach + 23 Marine Surf + 24 Miramar + 25 Moana + 26 Outrigger + 27 Outrigger East + 28 Outrigger Surf + 29 Outrigger West + 30 Pacific Beach + 31 Pagoda + 32 Park Shore + 33 Princess Kaiulani + 34 Queen Kapiolani + 35 Reef Lanais + 36 Royal Hawaiian + 37 Sand Villa + 38 Sheraton Waikiki + 39 Surfrider + 40 Travelodge + 41 Waikiki Beachcomber + 42 Waikiki Circle + 43 Waikiki Gateway + 44 Waikiki Grand + 45 Waikiki Marina + 46 Waikiki Resort + 47 Waikiki Surf + 48 Waikiki Surf East + 49 Waikiki Surf West + 50 Waikiki Village + 51 Waikikian + + + + + [Illustration: HONOLULU] + + +Points of interest + + 1 King Kamehameha Statue + 2 Iolani Palace + 3 Iolani Barracks + 4 State Capitol Building + 5 Hawaii State Library + 6 Honolulu Hale (City Hall) + 7 Mission Homes + 8 Kawaiahao Church + 9 Honolulu Academy of Arts + 10 Neal Blaisdell Center + 11 Aloha Tower + 12 Falls of Clyde + 13 Chinatown + 14 Cultural Plaza + 15 Kwan Yin Temple + 16 Foster Botanic Garden + 17 National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific + 18 Queen Emma's Summer Palace + 19 Alice Cooke Spaulding House + 20 University of Hawaii + 21 East-West Center + 22 Paradise Park + 23 Waioli Tea Room + 24 Dole Cannery + 25 Bishop Museum + + + + + [Illustration: North Shore] + + [Illustration: East End] + + + + + [Illustration: Windward Oahu] + + + + + [Illustration: Waianae Coast] + + + + + [Illustration: Central Oahu] + + + + +Transcriber Notes: + +Text in bold is enclosed by equal signs (=bold=). + +Throughout the book, the punctuation of the abbreviations of Sun. +through Sat., were changed to ensure a period after each of those +abbreviations. + +On page 8, "acupunture" was replaced with "acupuncture". + +On page 22, "Tempermental" was replaced with "Temperamental". + +On page 25, "of highway" was replaced with "off highway". + +On page 42, a heading "GLASS FLOAT BEACHCOMBING" was added to match the +Table of Contents. + +On page 44, "hubub" was replaced with "hubbub", a period was added after +"cartoonists in the evening", and "the machinery than" was replaced with +"the machinery that". + +On page 52, "millenium" was replaced with "millennium". + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Oahu Traveler's guide, by +Bill Gleasner and Diana Gleasner + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK OAHU TRAVELER'S GUIDE *** + +***** This file should be named 33355.txt or 33355.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/3/3/5/33355/ + +Produced by Mark C.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
