Our last evening excursion
Diamond Resorts offered a sunset cruise off Waikiki. We had a wonderful sail! Saw a whale spout, our last farewell.
Dole plantation and Haleiwa
Our last day with a car we did another Northshore drive to the village of Haleiwa for lunch and shopping. We passed the pineapple fields and the Dole Plantation.
