Only in Hawaii

Found this in today's paper, and I thought to myself only in Hawaii would I see something like this! Spam in the AM!

Walking to Waikiki from UH

Today I decided that I was going to set out and explore Waikiki a lil bit. I started by heading to the bookstore to get a bus pass so I wouldn't have to walk the distance, howevers I arrived at the bookstore after they had closed. Sweet. So I began my travel. I don't think I realized how far of a walk it was until I was about halfway there and it had already been half an hour of walking.

After more walking I finally arrived at a beach, I don't know what beach. I just know it was a beach, there was a lagoon that was separated from the ocean by some beachiness. It was pretty sweet, but I decided to trek on. After I walked through some side streets I eventually made it to a part of town that I was familiar with. From here I went to the beach area behind the Outrigger and walked along the beach for a good half hour or so.

3 hours and however many pages later of lying on the beach I decided I should probably head back so as to catch dinner.

The walk back was over an hour and half. I think next time I'll take the bus.

I'll take some pics or something and put them up soon.

Tuesday is coming, did you bring your coat?

Snorkeling in Hawaii

So many different kinds of fish in Turtle Bay! It is so nice to go out for an hour or so just cruising around checking out all the different kinds of fish. Hawaii has been a great experience so far and I think I'll stop doing this daily since I'll be here for awhile.

First night in Hawaii, 2nd day in Hawaii

Well we landed just fine at Honolulu Airport. Flight was pretty nice seeing as I slept most of the way. We stayed at some hotel (Queen Kapiolani?) for the night. That's about it for the first night.

Woke up the next morning, walked around Waikiki then ate some breakfast. Mahi Mahi for breakfast, quite delicious I must say. We packed up our luggage and drove to north shore where we will be staying for the rest of the time that my family will be out here. We are staying in a condo at Turtle Bay Resort. So exciting!

Mahalo friends!
