The Moana Hotel, also known as the First Lady of Waikīkī, is a famous historic hotel on the island of Oʻahu, located at 2365 Kalākaua Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Built in the late 19th century as the first hotel in Hawaiʻi, the Moana opened its doors to guests in 1901, becoming the first large hotel in Waikīkī. The Moana Hotel is regarded as the flagship in Hawaiʻi tourism, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In Hawaiian, moana means "open sea" or "ocean."

The Parthenon - Nashville, TN.
Kenda has lived in the area her entire life and though she has visited Argentina, Costa Rica, Italy, Scotland, Holland, Poland, France, Germany and Spain she has never visited the Parthenon in her own back yard. I took her there and she loved it.
Yes, we have been travelling... again, this time to the famous city by the bay, San Francisco. At first, to be honest, I didn't know what quite to expect. One hears so many various and interesting stories about this city, the glorious and colourful Victorian architecture beside modern skyscrapers.... and how can one not visit without travelling on the famed cable cars. Funny, I kept thinking of that song..... the line goes something like.... the cable cars, that travel halfway to the stars. The singer's name escapes me at the moment... Yes the hills are steep .... not a place for anything but good lace up runners in my mind.
It's not like any other city that I have visited... so far. The people, city scapes, the bay, the cable cars, the architecture, the various multicultural neighbourhoods, fisherman's wharf, Golden Gate bridge - just too many to take in and visit in one visit - a city one has to return to.
From my archives - our trip to Paris in the fall of 2007. Hope you enjoy the trip.

Bunratty Castle (Irish: Caisleán Bhun Raithe, meaning Castle at the Mouth of the Ratty) is a large tower house in County Clare, Ireland. It lies in the centre of Bunratty village (Irish: Bun Ráite), by the N18 road between Limerick and Ennis, near Shannon Town and its airport. The name Bunratty, Bun Raite (or possibly, Bun na Raite) in Irish, means the 'bottom' or end of the 'Ratty' river. This river, alongside the castle, flows into the nearby Shannon estuary. From the top of the castle, one can look over to the estuary and the airport.
The castle and the adjoining folk park are run by Shannon Heritage.
