Diamond Head Honolulu

ALOHA!

Made it to Hawaii fine! Jetstar was a nice flight actually!! Good food - About $15 for a dinner just a FYI!

Went for a stroll down the main beach with some friends I made on the plane - Bart and Jerry (Sounds like I am making there names up! Im not!)

Checked into my Hostel one block from the beach close to the …

Aloha and welcome back to adventures in paradise!
From the trivia, many of you know that from Maui we headed to the island of Oahu, home to Pearl Harbor. It is one of the most visited islands as it also is home to the capital city of Honolulu. By the time we settled into our accommodations it was 11:30 - 22 hours after we woke up! What a long, …

Woke up at 5:30 a.m. as we were still in BC time, perfect opportunity to get up and watch the sun rise! Quickly dressed and drove to Diamond Head in hopes to hike up to the top before it was too late. Unfortunately, 2 bus loads of asian tourists beat us to it and the hike up was slow, we're talking painfully slow. Didn't make it in time to see the …

Turtle Bay Resort: We stayed here for the first 4 days of our honeymoon. I found this hotel by searching where the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall was filmed at and decided to book it. This resort was very nice and had many things to do to keep us entertained. We went in September so it was very secluded and we had the beach to ourselves most of …

Well we love the weather being winter on Oahu, magic! Little bit windy and a few sprinkley showers but not complaining it is just water as hubby said. Picked up the little white four door for our few days in Honolulu after smooth transition through customs and immigration, getting used to driving on the wrong side straight up was interesting, lucky …

Week 6- Diamond Head Hike

I knew it was Monday this week when I woke up with a charlie horse. This week we did our usual field trip to the pool Mon. and Wed., went to Hickam Beach on Tues. which was really neat because we got to see a submarine reemerge from the bay and the kids and I were so intrigued. On Wednesday we went to the Hard …

Ha allemaal,

Vandaag is mijn laatste dag op Hawaii. Tijd voor een nieuwe blogpost...

Na Queenstown ben ik doorgereisd naar Christchurch. Na al de aardbevingen daar is er weinig meer van over. Grote delen van de stad zijn nog afgesloten en er is helemaal niks te doen. Ik heb er ook maar een paar uur doorgebracht om mijn vlucht naar …

We got up early again! What a vacation!
Planning on the hike to Diamond Head we left quite early psyched to hike...planning on getting it done before the heat of the day! A little miscalculation with directions and we ended up at the Honolulu Zoo and decided we would do the zoo first. The reviews of the zoo said it was small so we didn't figure …

De seneste blogindlæg fra Hawaii, har ikke indholdet meget fest og farver - hvilket der er en meget god grund til. Vi har nemlig ikke været ude endnu og i stedet har de snart 14 på Waikiki bestået af skiftevis hygge, daseferie, træning og praktiske ærinder. Alt sammen en combi der ligeså stille har sat gang i en hverdag her på Hawaii - en vild og …

Wir stehen heute frueh auf und nehmen den Bus in Richtung Diamond Head, dem erloschenen Vulkanwahrzeichen von Waikiki. Ich habe nur 20 Dollar und damit kann man im Bus nicht zahlen, doch der freundliche Busfahrer nimmt uns umsonst mit, ein sehr freundlicher Mann - welch ungewoehnliche Erfahrung verglichen mit Deutschland. Der Bus ist voll und am …
