This site wasn't around and if it was back then I wouldn't have had the time to enter all we did so I am going to condense what we did all week in Honolulu to just one page, so bare with me as it is going to be long.
Day 1. Bob and I …

We had a nice relaxing time in Hawaii. We spent most of the afternoons lazing by the beach and the pool and our nights consisted of a good feed and plenty of beverages. We took a day trip around the island in a Chrysler convertible soaking up more of the sun. All rowan wanted to hire was a mustang but we left it a bit late for that as they were all …

Our morning started at 7 am pickup. Our first stop was at Pearl Harbour which is a must see visit. Next we drove to the Dole plantation. Did you know that they don't can the pineapples on the island but ship it to the Philippines because its cheap labor. Not very good for the locals. 800 people lost there jobs in1991 when they shut the plant. It …

In between nursing school, I visited Hawaii for a few weeks. As timing would have it, my sister had currently been based in Hawaii for the military.

I spend the first few days with a friend from Houston, Michael, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. We stayed near the waters on Waikiki beach. We toured just about everything there …

... .  We rank them completely differently, so we put that aside of the time being and blog.  We are in Waikiki, with lots of important people, and we are missing our beloved North Shore.  And that is now my good friends.  Good night. ...

... for pizza and a quick game of Madagascar and Noah finished a job application and then we are off. A lot of the beaches on the North shore have really strong currents, and we wanted Woody to be able to have a good swim, so we found a beach nearby ...

... .  It is literally a slither of sand, the footpath, and then hotels.  I think we have been spoilt by the North Shore – or maybe we are just spoilt, in general!  There are tractors going along the beach path collecting the barriers, ...

... has great reviews and we want to go, so we go.  The landscape is very different to where we are staying on the North Shore (even though it is geographically very close).  It is almost like Hawaii on one side of the road and Arizona on the ...
