A Ko Olina Gem

Well, the weather has turned chillier, and there's finally a crisp in the air, so the scene is anything but the photo below in Southern California now (at least for this week).  But as we pass the limited days between the spooky and the merry holidays, I figure that including a bit of summer paradise doesn't hurt, as we palate cleanse Halloween after two months.  The Aulani Resort is an incredibly beautiful and wonderfully set hotel complex located literally in paradise--Hawaii itself.  And seeing it from the water makes it look even more dreamy.  On my trip to Hawaii this past April, the clouds were also cooperative toward some nice skies, making this scene even lovelier!
