    The highway is okay but needs a lot of work! And the highway has 30+ years of wear and tear.

    Wheeler Army Airfield - Wili Wili homes with one garage spot & 1 partially covered

    Nice and quiet neighborhood near Wiliwili circle side. The only con I could think of is getting…read moreback onto Wheeler. The gate closest to the airfield and Mililani Tech park side closes around 9pm. So you'd have to enter the gate across Lyman. Other than that, it's a little more peaceful and laid back than the hustle and bustle and crowd on Schofield. There is a pre-school called Armed Services YMCA that you could put your child in, a community pool for Island Palm residents, a car selling lot, a small and quaint bowling alley, and a small PX. I believe the Navy housing is farther back behind Wiliwili. The park is well kept. I'd recommend this area of you're ever stationed here and there is an opening.

    I've lived & worked 'on Post' here for 2 years. I LOVE our quiet lil neighborhood (and neighbors)…read moreWili Wili in the back near the horse stables (private memberships available.) I Remember when we first got stationed here my husband said to me Wheeler army airfield? Isn't that the first place to get hit before Pearl Harbor? Yes, yes it was. There's interesting historical signs about it On the main road by the big gray building and others in the pink Amelia Airhart hanger on the airfield. Many of the homes and hangers that got hit still have the bullet holes in them as historical landmarks. So we live here with respect and humility from the past & excitement about the future. This base is small but friendly & traffic isn't as bad as Schofield in my opinion. AVOID crossing between bases if you can in the morning. It will add an hour to your day. Wheeler has a wonderful new small bowling alley (only 4 lanes) with yummy food beer & free pool Thursday & Friday. Unfortunately due to sequestration they are not able to be open on other days At this time. It was built for the barracks next-door but tends to attract more of an older and family crowd. There are nondenominational Christian worship services at Wheeler Chapel 11 am Sunday's with Potlucks every first Sunday. Pagans meet in the church 1 Friday/mth although I hear it's basically a bunch of young gaming kids and probably not super religious. The Community Center behind the chapel has a pool, Small fitness center, and small movie theater you can reserve for parties. There are several great playgrounds all over the base. There is A barbershop, a bank, a delicious DFAC, shoppette, and a gym in and around the big gray building. The only gas station is on Schofield. All of the housing is pretty awesome in my opinion including the older historical WWII housing (except for poor Camp Stover in the back.) Make sure to make your way over to Schofield on the weekends for the KoleKole (sp?) Pass Hike. It's open to the public usually too. It's only .8 mi one way & doable with small kids & the views are phenomenal. I'm going to leave here with such fond memories! And those Mountain View's?! Breathtaking!! Historically Hawaiian Warriors trained on this plateau also (as they still do as part of the Hawaii National Guard.) Don't miss out on learning about the local Hawaiian history while you're here. I recommend the Shakka app if you're driving around the area. And while you're at it, stop at Zippy's and get some local food and donuts, it's kind of like a Hawaiian Denny's. Dole is only 2 Miles up the road for visiting family & tourists. We also make a great 'Gateway to the North Shore .'Last, all the helicopter & air traffic doesn't bother my family & we can't hear much in our house. Loving Hawaiian Army Aviation life at Wheeler Army Airfield!!

The admission to the museum was pricey, even for Kama'aina, so we opted to get the Family Membership instead. The membership was for 2 adults and up to 4 kids, and also has discounts for other exhibits. After a quick sweep through the museum, and a wary observation of the flight simulator, the grandson decided it was time to eat. I got the Blue Angels Burger and he got the kids hot dog meal. I'd say the prices were reasonable, considering how much takeout and restaurant food costs these days. The burger was fat as hell and the dog wasn't Costco sized but definitely satisfied the kid. I didn't get pics of the food because I was too enthralled over the size of the patty! We spent the day also visiting the Mighty Mo, the Virtual Reality tour, and gift shop shopping also.

    Our second stop while at Pearl Harbor was the Aviation Museum. Located just a few moments from the…read moreUSS Missouri on Ford Island. In my opinion the Aviation Museum was one of the cooler stops on our trip. I really enjoyed all the different types of planes and carriers they had on display. We also ate Lunch at the Cafe in the Aviation Museum and the food was delicious! The bus picked us up from the USS Missouri and dropped us off at the Aviation Museum, there was a short line to check in at the front desk of the museum before you could enter the inside portion of the museum. They had a flight simulator inside the internal museum as well as a gift shop and restaurant. The Hangar still had the original bullet holes in the glass from the Pearl Harbor attack which was a really neat part of history to be able see. They also have a section where they are restoring some planes and helicopter parts. My favorite thing they had was this wood paneled plane in the hangar. They also had some old Military trucks out front of the hangar that were really cool. I highly recommend visiting the Aviation Museum while at Pearl Harbor.

There are not enough back roads to get you where you need to go. Thankful for having the H 1 Freeway West. But our population and resulting traffic congestion begs for upgrades. Easier said than done right. It is what it is. Drive safe everyone. Show Aloha when you drive in traffic. Happy Holidays. We are blessed with our beautiful weather here!

    Coming from San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles traffic regular - I love this highway system -…read morebasically there are three highways 1, 2 and 3. I get so confused in large cities with highways that look like spaghetti. Sitting in traffic for hours to go nowhere is something I now accept as a California resident - and coming here is refreshing. I don't care how bad it gets - its nothing compared to the worst in the world. First thing you do from the airport is hop on highway 1. Took the rental car for a little test drive on this road to see how it did. You take this East and West to Honolulu - and if your a tourist - that's probably where your headed. Also took a short trip to the Pearl Harbor memorial using this highway. Also a super quick trip. Really its all such short distances I think not renting a car is probably smartest as hotel fees for parking nightly - and we had two unnecessary cars going nowhere. It's all such a scenic place to be. A normal trip on the highway in my hometown is horrible. Unpleasant - breathing in pollution and ugly sights... but not here. I guess who's to say my rental car unnecessary? I enjoyed it and the feel behind the wheel and the sense of freedom just knowing it was parked steps away ready to go.
