Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii



I have a 2 bedroom timeshare week at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club this week. I traded my Newport Coast timeshare unit for this one.My brother and his wife from Orlando, Florida have joined me here. This place is on the relatively isolated western shore of Oahu about 25 miles west of the tourist chaos of Honolulu. But a non-stop 5 1/2 hour flight from San Diego.

Ko Olina is the start of a resort community with 2 hotels, a marina, golf course, some houses and condos and 4 man-made crescent shaped lagoons that allow sheltered swimming. But just 30 minute drive to the big city. The picture above shows the lagoon at our place.

Yesterday we played golf at the golf course across from the resort in the 20mph constant tradewinds here. The course was very nice.


This is them on the 12th tee with the Beach Club tower in the background.

This is Mark & Debby in their golf cart:

This is Debby teeing off. She actually hit this ball on the green and sank the 6-foot putt for a BIRDY!

Tomorrow we will be lazy and spend time at the beach, pool, gym or possibly drive to another part of the island.
