If you can head straight to the North Shore without stopping at the huge
Dole Plantation pineapple fields you’re probably a serious surfer interested in nothing, but
the enormous waves. In any case you are a person of strength, will-power, and the complete opposite of myself. I have
never had a problem pointing out my faults. On the other hand is there anything wrong with dragging your feet,
lagging, through fields and fields of pineapple simply letting the day go by? Not really.
Though it wasn’t my intentions to stop at the Dole Plantation, I felt it deserved a couple minutes of my time.
And a couple minutes was all it received. I would have spent 45 minutes trying to find myself out of one of the
largest pineapple maze’s in the world if I wasn’t so anxious to make way to
the beach, so I had to pass. If you’ve got the time I suggest the tour, as well as a ride on
the Pineapple Express and a stroll through the plantation garden. That will pretty much give you the
full Pineapple experience with one exception. Tasting the ice cream… Even if you weren’t quite in the mood for ice
cream seeing everyone else parade around with the delicious dessert will probably send messages to your brain that
you must and will not live without it. The light, fruity, Pineapple, soft serve, ice cream wouldn’t be my first
choice but it makes for a lovely afternoon treat.
More ramblings to come on the North Shore, dining, and all the other places I’m trying to rediscover as I conquer
Oahu. Again.
