2020
December 25, 2019 to March 2020. We spent a month in Kauai and the rest of the time on the North Shore of Oahu. On the North Shore we had an apartment right on the beach and you could hear the waves lap on the sand, a very soothing sound.
Kauai is very beautiful but the north, where we stayed, is very rainy. A highlight was a helicopter ride over the interior of the island.
The North Shore was great, with a nice beach, restaurants, and no crowds. Since we were there two months, we had plenty of time to go all over Oahu. However, the Coronavirus was starting to hit in January, so we scrambled to find some masks and were careful. We left early (mid March) because of the virus, unfortunately.
