Since 1956, four generations of the Upton / Waning family have visited the Hawaiian Islands, but I'm not sure if anyone has explored them as thoroughly as Elsie and Mildred did. As best I can tell they visited the Big Island, Maui, Kona, and Kauai.

Dear Ones:
This is where we are tonight. We have a church close by and they played the organ tonight. All the good hymns are(sic) Mothers taught us. It was beautiful. Xmas Carolls(sic) also. We had a terrible storm last night, but has been beautiful today. Your mother feels much better over here on Kona much cooler. We fly to Kauai Island tomorrow afternoon. We want to go to church in the A.M.
With love, Mom"

Dear Girls: This is a beautiful but cold morning. We are flying back to Honolulu to-day and will leave for home Sunday. We have a trip planned for this morning to take a ride by boat. I hope I will have a letter when I get back to the Hotel.
With love
Grandmother"

"Dear Family:
This is one of the places we stayed on our tour of the Islands. We have seen a lot of pineapple and sugar cane miles of it. I have had pineapple with every meal. We will be here until Sunday when we leave for home. Will see you soon.
Mom"
