Sheila Sabine - Out and About - The Royal Hawaiian Resort

The Royal Hawaiian Resort, built in 1927 on the shores of Waikiki, has always been a favorite spot for the rich and famous. In the beginning, wealthy people from the East Coast would travel nearly three months on steamer ships with their staff of servants, many wardrobe changes and cars. Unlike the casual garb of today’s visitors, the original guests changed elegant outfits during the day and attired gala evening gowns and tuxedos for the evening balls. The sense of elegance and decorum pervade every inch of this fabulous place - a must see for those that appreciate beauty and quality.

Rotary Peace Grove at Tilden Park

Image
High atop the hills of Tilden Park sits a serene sanctuary known as the Rotary Peace Grove. This section of the park was donated to Berkeley Rotary in 1955 when they began planting redwood trees. Each year, a different tree is dedicated to a leader in world peace and bronze plaques are displayed with the honorees' names at the base of each tree. The members of the Rotary club prune and  clean up regularly to help preserve the magic and the beauty. The hike to the grove makes a wonderful outing for the entire family.
