This is the backdrop of where Elvis sang The Hawaiian Wedding Song in Blue Hawaii it is at the old Coco Palms Motel which was pretty much destroyed in a hurricane in 1992 and no one has redeveloped it.
Can you see the coconuts in the tree? My first.
My sister Caren and I standing on the bridge where Elvis sang the song.
Another picture of Gilligan's Island
This is Hanalei Valley. That name ring a bell?
Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea...
In a land called Hanalei.
Did you know that song was about smoking pot? I had no idea!!
This was also the set for the movie Uncommon Valor.
I am trying to figure out why I didn't get a picture of Bali Hai and South Pacific??? Not sure, but anyway...
There is also a mountain called Kong Mountain that looks like the profile of King Kong but none of those pictures turned out either.
This picture had nothing to do with the movies but I took it to show how they build houses near the water. I am thinking if you are handicapped I guess you have to put in an elevator.
So tomorrow I will be actually posting the pictures of what we did a week ago on Friday.
