Amazing Progress in New Photos of Aulani

Hope the possible Tsunami does not slow the progress.

That's the same thing that came to my mind. We can only hope for the best.

If the tsunami hits Hawaii, will it affect this resort? I'm not sure what side of the island this is located.

My thoughts also - I am worried about Aulani...

There are parts of each of the islands of Hawaii that are very green and tropical, with spectacular scenery.

However, most resorts, including Ko Olina, are in rather arid parts of Hawaii. If there's landscaping and it's watered regularly, it's lush and green. It makes sense that resorts are in places where there's a lot of sun and very little rain.

Yes, Ko Olina faces west, and the sunsets are outstanding.

I see, that makes sense. West facing will be very nice IMO.

HMMMMMMM not very green or tropical......I like the mountains...looks like it's only near a hill. None the less cant wait to go. And will be sure to alos visit other Islands while there.

Wonder how high the points will be. Also wonder if cash will be cheeper than using our points sicne this has both and is so huge.
