Family Sojourn In Hawaii, 1957

[BlueCollarTraveler]

Wow! No more Aloha Airlines. No more camera ports on airline windows. No more smoking on airlines (woowhoo!). No more Coco Palms on Kauai (I liked the way the announcer mis-pronounced that island name). No more Kalapana black sand beach (that's too bad - it looked cool in this video). How about that dirt road in this video at the Hanalei Valley Scenic Lookout? The tunnel on Hwy 30 going towards Lahaina on Maui still looks the same today as it did in this video but the road is MUCH wider.

Very nostalgic. But judging from the fins on the car, this can't be 1950. More like 1957.

Statehood was one of the worst things that happened to Hawaii. Over development quickly followed. It now resembles a massive theme park. What a horrible shame.

God... I would love to go back to this time.....a time before the sewer pipe was opened called the middle to late 1960's....all the weirdos were all in the closet and hadn't come out yet...oh God take me back!

A kindlier, simplier time...wish some of those times could be re-lived.

I lived in Hawaii in the 1980s. It is just like the pictures - paradise.
