Aloha —
Annie Miller Almond
Before beginning my description of our visit to the Island of Oahu, I want to correct an error that I, not the editor made in last week’s article.' I should not have had the particles of Black Sand called Kodachromes. Of course they are not so named. The sentence should have read “all the Kodachromes you have seen of it will not diminish by scrunching around in bare feet on its surface”.
I might explain further that I have read that where lava enters the sea, water may get access to the hot central part of the flow. TTie outrushing steam may carry a cloud of liquid lava drops with it. These are chilled into bits of black glass when they hit the air or water. Sand-sized and large particles can wash up in sufficient quantity to form a Black Sand Beach.
Just before reaching our hotel, the Hilton Village, on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu our guide asked for our attention. He told us that at 7:30 that evening there would be a two hour moonlight cruise with dinner and entertainment on a Catamaran. If we desired to go the cost would j be extra for it was not included in the tour. I was seated near him as he asked for names, if any. I was the first to express my desire to go. (I didn’t want to miss anything.) I shall never forget the guide’s expression when he looked at me and said, “You want to go?” I repeated I did. Only ten including the guide and one of his girls in this port went. Tliere were, bf course, others, strangers to us, on the pier when we got there. A Catamaran is a sailboat.
Just imagine, if you can, trying to eat your dinner from a tray on your lap while holding to that tray and to your drink! All food was wrapped separately in paper or put in a paper sack. My toll was retrieved twice and the third time no one saw the direction it went. If one ate the fried chicken and shrimp from the paper sack while trying to keep everything else from going with the wind one was good. I haven’t had as much fun in years! It was a beautiful night and we were an hilarious crowd! Eventually the musicians were persuaded to play and sing “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” in my honor since I was the only Virginian there. Don’t ask for another reason.
