Well, I grew up on the big island then lived in Oahu 2008-2011. I used to go to Waimanalo ALL THE TIME until I moved away (married an Army guy). I've been back to the islands several times, but mostly to the big island where my mom is. I made it back to Oahu to visit last August but my grandparents were out of town, so I didn't make the drive that way. I sure do miss the Koolau mountains though! They're so beautiful! ~Angel
