My rental on Oahu for the next few days is a soft top 4 door Wrangler. Nice to have a convertible in this lovely 80-90 degree weather for an island vacation. It was entertaining leaving this dirt parking lot by just driving straight through rocks and ruts and crap. Can’t do that in my Miata! Not planning on doing any actual off roading but it’s neat so far. Putting the top up is absolutely awful as we experienced last night when turning in for the night. Took a solid 20 minutes and a few finger crushing events until it was finally sorted out. Forget doing that in the event of a surprise downpour! So the top will just stay up Saturday and Sunday due to the high chance of rain. Or at least just do the partial open instead of removing the rear Windows and folding the whole thing down.

Anyways, also went on a nice hike this morning to Ka’ena Point. Apparently that translates to “The Heat” and with the temps in the 80s at 9am it was certainly warm. But some nice cloud cover and breezy trade winds and a relatively flat hike, it made for a great morning.

You’re on the other side of  the island but if you want an early morning workout go climb the Koko Head “ stairs” . Then have pancakes at Bill’s as a reward. It’s an old military railroad with 1,050 “steps” of railroad ties that go up hill and get progressively steeper. Enjoy the Jeep.

We will be on the other side of the island sat through Monday so I'll look into that, thanks! Trying to see as much of the island that isn't Honolulu while here. Spending one night in that city to do the whole resort thing before flying out Tuesday afternoon but i think I'm definitely glad we got out of the city for the rest of the time!
