About 10 years ago, I remember reading an article mentioning that the meaning for the Town of “Waipahu” meant Water Drum and that water was sometime pour into drums to give it a desired pitch. This journal is basically about this town of about 35,000, which is not really a tourist destination. It is sometimes call “Sugar Town” as it basically was in the midst of sugar cane fields and als... Read Full Entry

WAIPAHU NOT Waikiki.
Sorry to those who opened my blog thinking it would be about Waikiki instead of Waipahu. I made a mistake in the fill out of the required blocks, and even now don't know how to correct it. Hope you enjoyed reading and seeing photos of Waipahu, anyway. No one can accuse me of being a (computer) Geek. :)

Thanks for the memories
I lived in Hawaii for many years but now am on the mainland. However, three of my children stayed when we moved or, as they said, we're not going anywhere where we have to wear shoes. I used to go back every year but haven't for about 4-5 years due to circumstances beyond my control, but am going back in February. Love all your pictures and comments as it brings back so many memories. We first lived in Navy housing at Iroquois Point so the pics of Waipahu are very welcome. Then moved to Honolulu. I miss Hawaii and am so glad to have kids there and hope I'm back on schedule for my yearly Mango and Papaya fix!

Glad my journal and photos were able to bring back happy memories. Things are changing fast with lots of new buildings and shopping complexes. Still lots of greenery and open beaches though. Mahalo and Aloha!
