Kaneohe Bay, Kahalu'u side circa 1978   I rented a house in Kahaluu, it was built on stilts with a car port underneath .  It was a 3-bedroom overlooking Kaneohe Bay on the Windward side.  I’m guessing it was built in the 1920s, jalousie windows in single-wall stick construction.  By my time, wood termites fed their growing colony on that single layer of wood leaving only the paint in some areas.  In the still of the night, I could hear the low-pitched grind of chewing insects.  Kind of creepy.

Honolulu late 1970s   I temped at a posh glass-faced highrise overlooking Aloha Tower and the harbor from one direction, the opposite side with mountain views.     Swank with a private elevator opening directly into the penthouse reception area. From there the interior was tricked out in a subdued maritime theme, windows all around and walls teak-clad with brass railing accents.     Seems like it was real estate investments.     They played polo on the North Shore in Mokulaea. The kind with horses.  I was there for a two-week gig womaning the reception desk.     It was a snooze of a job in luxury surroundings.
