TV Show: Gilligan's Island Harbor Scene and Dawn Wells

This post is in honor of actress Dawn Wells,(Mary Ann), who celebrates a birthday on October 18 (80 years old). She and actress Tina Louise (Ginger Grant) are the only remaining main characters from the show who are still living as of this writing.

The show's opening-scene harbour was pointed-out to me by our Tour Guide while I was in Honolulu (one of my best vacations ever; in the company of my son, sibs, and other relatives).  Happy thoughts were triggered once again via my sister & brother-in-law's pictures while they spent a glorious week in Hawaii to celebrate her birthday.



 The informative link below will add info to the gaps of what you know about the show's opening season harbour scene. Someone spent a lot of time researching and deserves a shout-out via this post.

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:
the whole earth is full of his glory.

Oahu Hawaii Diary, Day 1: Hale Koa Military Hotel

We stayed at Hale Koa (House of the Warrior) Hotel for my sister's destination wedding.  The hotel  is a beautiful, beach-side resort serving members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families (how appropriate that today is Veteran's Day!!!).  It is located on 72 acres, next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We were on the 9th floor of  Maile Tower.  Our family took-up three rooms, one after another.  From our balcony we could catch sight of Maile Gardens, Trump International Hotel; and Waikiki Beach. My sis & her hubby had even better views from their 12th floor suite on the other tower.  Friendly pigeons would sometimes check us out.  No food for them meant they'd move on to another balcony.
