Old Hawaii

Our Honeymoon in June 1960

All our interisland flights were in these Fairchild turboprop planes. 

We flew into Hilo and saw the effects of a tsunami that had struck a few weeks earlier.

This building in Hilo was damaged by the tsunami.

Our guide took us to this lei factory in Hilo.

Visiting Hawaii National Park we saw Kilauea from the Volcano House.

This lei looks good on Jane.

The state highway from the volcano to Kona was a one-lane road similar to the present Saddle Road.

Still only one lane as we continue on to Kailua-Kona, could this be old Walua Road?

We stayed at the original King Kamehameha Hotel which was torn down and replaced in the 1970s.

Breakfast at the King Hamehameha was outside with a good view of the bay and south along the Kona Coast.

Ed spotted this view and quickly snapped a photo as we drove south, returning to Hilo.

Jane took a look at the Captain Cook monument across Kealakekua Bay.

Jane shows us coffee beans on the trees as we toured a coffee farm.

On the island of Kawai, Jane inspects some sugar cane.

Flying from Kawai to Oahu, the stewardess first passed out chewing gum, as all the airlines did in those days, then she gave us a hula lesson.

Back at Waikiki Beach, we attended the free Kodak show, well designed for us to take lots of pictures with Kodak film.

At the free Kodak show, Ed takes advantage of the free hula lessons.

We took a tour through the Dole pineapple packing plant.

On Oahu, we rented this pink jeep to drive around the island.

It’s very windy at the top of Pali Kawipu outside of Honolulu.

Jane checks some pineapples still growing.

We attended a broadcast of the long-running radio program Hawaii Calls.

Jane went for a ride in an outrigger canoe.
