(There has got to be a better way to post photos here. I've tried two different sites = Shutterfly and Flicker and multiple iterations and nothing. Now I can't delete this post. Nothing but frustration to offer you. Sorry.

Top floor Oceana Palms, southwest corner room, building away from ocean. Not too shabby! Four photos from an almost 360 view.

Adding to GregT's efforts because I really like this particular photo that you put up on flickr and I thought this picture deserved an extra visual!

This is a pic from the Ko Olina facebook page.

It is a mountain view room in Moana tower, in the north wing (not the south wing that angles towards the harbor). This is a great view.

Honestly we travel so frequently that they all seem to run together, and I can't remember at all. If I ever run across that receipt, I'll let you know, but obviously it's possible, if not highly probable. Mine is zoomed a bit more, but it looks identical, doesn't it? That was very cool to see your photo----it freaked me out too, especially when I read the floor number 16.

But it was a gorgeous city view, one that I would actually request again. Some like the harbor view rooms, but since we're back in the unit only at night, I prefer seeing that cityscape out my window.....very romantic to say the least. Can't tell you how many times we peered out the window from any angle and made some remark about how beautiful that looked. Most evenings after returning from dinner we had all the lights off and the curtains pulled back while we watched movies while killing a few bottles of Cabernet that we picked up from V. Cirace & Son in North End (corner of Richmond and North Streets, across from Mare Oyster Bar, my favorite spot). BTW, great wine shop and amazing restaurant!

Can't see as much with harbor view at night unless you get up and walk to the window----no high-rises to light up the sky. If we hung out during the day, harbor view would be preferable, but we're out walking somewhere all day and the daytime view seems irrelevant. During the day we want to be IN the picture, so to speak.

I thought you'd get a kick out of that photo. Only sorry I don't have an appropriate Seinfeldism for you......:D Maybe you or my buddy jont can come up with one, unless that dead horse has been buried.

Your pic brought back a wonderful memory. We were there in October of 2012 and also 2013......the BEST time to be in New England.....beautiful foliage, perfect cool temps, football and baseball happening, and the holidays approaching----doesn't get any better. I swear I could eat my way through Boston---it's incredible. Walking to dinner was our favorite activity.

I have some I would like to share, but I have no idea how to post a picture if it isn't online already at a photo sharing site.

The easiest way if it's not on a photo sharing site is to just use the little paperclip icon (you may need to to Go Advanced to see that option) to attach it. That will open up a box that will allow you to browse your computer folders, find the file and then click upload and it should show it as a thumbnail attachment like in the post above yours.
