Oahu Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Enroute to Jan 29 to Feb 2, 2012

We enjoyed the Sunday Brunch, which was quite spectacular. This event is traditionally held in our main dinning room, The Club Restaurant, every Sunday that is a "sea day".

Following brunch, Rick went to the Pacific Princess Choir rehearsal.

The rest of the day was relaxing, and then we watched the "Pro Bowl". Then we went to …

My Day at Downtown Honolulu and Chinatown

Today I decided to visit Downtown Honolulu. Downtown Honolulu is home to some of Oahu's most historic places, such as the places I will be visiting. These places are Iolani Palace, the statue of King Kamehameha I and the Aloha Tower. Anyway, I woke up in the Four Seasons Resort and made my way by taxi to my first stop, Iolani Palace. Iolani Palace …

Adventures in cargo - bringing 115 kg of books

This blog entry turned out longer than I thought so I broke it in two. Read the other part first. Monday the 16th I got to the office early and did my last minute re-arranging of items and boxes. As you know, I collect donated nursing textbooks. At one point last fall I had 60+ boxes of books in my office - they were piled chest-high against every …

Pearl Harbour and Polynesian culture

Hawaiian adventures

I arrived in O'ahu (pronounced Owahoo and meaning 'The Gathering Place') but felt a bit tired the first I day after a lack of food and sleep on the plane! I checked in to the Waikiki Beach Hostel and sat on Waikiki beach which was lovely and relaxing, with surfers (waiting for waves most of the time), music …

3.44pm - Up Up And Away

Thursday 13 May, 3.44pm, my room

Researcho strikes again, because tomorrow I leave Oahu for Maui, and as a result won't be able to do a couple of the things I wanted to (some turtle snorkelling, possible whale spotting, and a tacky yet utterly desirable tour to places where Jurassic Park, Lost, and 50 First Dates were filmed). I really …

Sea Turtles & Sock Wrestling...

Feels like a while since I've blogged and soooo much has happened. Going to break it down into days:

Saturday: So we rented a car, which has proved to be the best plan yet! We drove all around the south of the island for the day, stopping at all the different bays having a swim and stuff! We stopped at this gorgeous volcanic rock point …

Pearl Harbor / Aviation Museum / Kailua Beach

We spent the morning at the Pearl Harbor National
Monument and the Pacific
Aviation Museum.
After taking in some history in the morning, we drove to the North shore to Kailua Beach,
recommended by Joe as his favorite beach in Hawaii. After spending 1-2 hours
there, we both agreed with his opinion. Very secluded in comparison to …

Day 2: Pearl Harbor And Some More Travel

This morning came very early this morning! Only about four hours of sleep for us, and then it was back to it. We ran downstairs at our hotel to have a free breakfast, and then we hopped on a shuttle to the airport. We enjoyed a nice flight to Honolulu, and we delighted in the extra leg room that our exit row provided...which offset our location …

A Quick Stop

Our first port stop we were back in the United States. We arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii at 6:52 AM on the morning of September 2nd. We had been briefed the night before about the immigration process, since we left a non United States port each of us had to go through immigration. The immigration process will change from country to country, and …

Snorkelling, Sea Kayaking, Humiliation!!!

Aloha Everyone!!! Well, these past 2 days have been very interesting and fun here on Oahu. Yesterday, we went to a huge flea market @ Aloha Stadium, and I bought a bunch of stuff and got tons of rad bargains, and all good stuff like that. In the afternoon, we got picked up by a tour bus and headed out to Hanauma Bay, an awesome snorkelling place. …
