Waikiki Beach Honolulu

After leaving my folks in Vancouver, I flew into Honolulu on July 4th, landing alongside fireworks that were way too close to the airport. It was a great start to my year-long trip, and I wandered around Honolulu for a couple days. Staying at the least fancy room in the very fancy Hilton Hawaiian Village, I was able to stay right on the beach.

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, …

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 …

Our first stop on the cruise was Honolulu. Since we have been to this island before and saw most of the sites, we thought we would spend our first day off the ship at the beach. We headed out, walked along the coast line, through the shopping district to Waikiki beach. We rented a couple chairs and an umbrella. BTW, for the cost of the rental, I …

After our flight to Hawaii yesterday which we didn't arrive until after 9pm, we decided to spend the today around Waikiki exploring and swimming. Busy area and we spend the afternoon at the beach swimming and watching the sunset while people surfed.

Boy's and in paeticular Tom were impressed by the stall where you pick out a oyster for $ …

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 …

Alright I am going to just state that I am going to be making this a long entry instead of making each day. 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 …
