It Was A Time. Good and Bad.
But it was a time. . .
*The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, known as the "Pink Palace of the Pacific," is a landmark of Waikiki Beach and one of the most historic and luxurious hotels in Hawaii. Opened in 1927 as the largest construction project in the Pacific at the time, its striking Spanish-Moorish architecture and distinctive pink façade quickly made it an island icon[1][2][9]. Throughout its history, the hotel has played host to celebrities, world leaders, and landmark events, serving as a glamorous resort destination and even a key military rest center during World War II[1][3]. Today, it stands as a symbol of Hawaii's heritage, blending historic elegance with modern amenities, and is recognized as a member of Historic Hotels of America[1][3][8].

ReplyDeleteI love the planter on the Royal Hawaiian hotel. Pixie looks like she wants to hug (or bat at) that adorable green heron.
ReplyDeleteAwesome bird. Hi Pixie.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's and never heard or seen about a green heron before.
ReplyDeleteDave Barry was a funny guy but that quote in isolation isn’t funny.
