It is a complicated drive from Honolulu to the north shore. You can cut across the center of the island, through urban sprawl and farms. I took the long way around, driving along the coast. Lots of stop and go, narrow roads and more than a few odd turns. I didn't have Ms Garmin with me, the map from the rental car place was more interested in directing me to advertisers, then helping me find my way around the island. I used the GPS on my phone to find where I was at a couple of times. I don't find my phone an effective navigation device, the screen is too small, goes black to easily and the phone is hard to see while I am driving.
It was so worth the drive. The water changes color, the surf gets bigger. It was spectacular.
SWEET!!

Hi David, So you're in Hawai'i huh? I've taken that drive all the way around the island on hwy 83 a couple of times. Started out from Wahiawa up Hwy99 to Haleiwa to Kahuku down to Kailua. And cross the Koolua's. on the Pali of Likelike Hwy. If you couldn't tell I lived there for two years stationed at Hickam AFB. Back then I didn't have a GPS either. lol.
