Upon arriving in Honolulu, President Obama hopped into his motorcade and headed over the Ko'olau Mountains toward the windward side of Oahu to his vacation home in Kailua. Follow along as the President hits the beach, dines at local restaurants and plays a little golf this holiday season.
In the spirit of openness and transparency, the President's Hawaii vacation will once again be live-tweeted. You are invited to follow along on Twitter.
President Obama will rent the same house as last year in his favorite Kailua Beach neighborhood. Take a stroll through the 5-bedroom Asian style oceanfront estate which includes an oversized pool, spa, steam room, tropical garden and koi pond.
