Aloha! Welcome to the Sunshine Paradise Oahu!
... with dolphins, etc. No matter what things you like to do, there is always something you enjoy to do in Oahu. I'm sure to say Honolulu is a place where no one will ever get bored. XD I found that Ala Moana Center is a great place to spend the whole day! ...
Surfer Country
... but its well worth spending a day here for any history buff. Obama was in town with the self-declared elite of APEC so Honolulu was effectively shut down to ensure that these folks didn't have to deal with any of the problems of the common man (like ...
Journey to Paradise - Pride of America
We took a cab from Marriott Waikiki and arrived at Honolulu Pier 2 around 11:35 AM. We were able to checked- in right away. I forgot the kids' passport in our luggage. We left it there when we went to Waikiki Beach and forgot to take it out. The ...
The Pride of America
... you've been doing. We got on the ship "The Pride of America". The whole ship is themed like different places in the United States. The lobby is decorated like the white house , there is the Liberty Restaurant , the Skyline Resturaunt , Wild West , ...
Journey to Paradise
This is the most anticipated vacation we ever had. As soon as we returned from our Bahamas vacation we couldn't help but wish its August already so that we can go to Hawaii. We heard a lot of good things about this place called paradise and we want to ...
A Day at Waikiki
Waikiki beach is fairly unspectacular. There's quite a slope to the beach due to considerable wave action. Once in waist deep water you come across lots of rocks. (For my info ...
Hi everyone and aloha from hawaii!!! well ...
Hi everyone and ALOHA from Hawaii!!! Well, we are FINALLY on our way, exactly six months from the day we decided to go on this adventure. There were a lot of days we didn't think we would actually ever get away, but we did it ... with a lot of help ...
Hawaii
Babies, despite their soft little heads, make the greatest icebreakers. Every time I get up to change Lucy on the flight to Hawaii, I hear another life story. I feel a real bond with a couple of people and almost ask for emails. But maybe travel ...
Aloha!
... and I only visited the most touristy, commercialised island of the six. Pretty much any visit to Hawaii begins with Honolulu, accompanied by a thoroughly uninspiring journey to Waikiki - a high-rise district comprising hotels, shops, restaurants and a ...
From disembarkation in Honolulu to Ko Olina
We're not rushing to leave today because we have the whole week ahead of us here in Oahu. We went to Lazy J for our last breakfast. We will be missing this hearty breakfast for sure. We ate DS birthday cake. It was good. It's different from the cake ...
Oahu - Hawaii Islands.
We arrived in Honolulu on the island of Oahu and caught an airport bus to our hostel. The Hokondo Waikiki Beachside was a bit of a baptism of fire! We had a a very crowded 8 bed dorm with our allocated beds both top bunks! It was however, cheap and ...
Underage drinking in Hawaii
Jen and I (along with Mark his friend Scott) headed off to Hawaii way back in December of 1997. We went around a few of the islands I rode down a (dormant of course) volcano on a bicycle. A bus took us up at some ungodly hour and it was freezing cold at ...
Aloha from Hawaii
... , could walk around easily.....and CHEAP. Waikiki beach was crowded but could wander down further and find space. We found Honolulu generally very built up, lots of high rise blocks and concrete....didn't feel at all Polynessian, could have been ...

Oahu (World)
I got to visit the island of Oahu with a friend of mine; our parents sent us as a graduation present in 1986. I had just turned 18 (egads, did I just date myself?)! We flew from San Francisco, and I think it was my first commercial airplane flight. We ...
Back on US Soil
It is of course, amusing that the WORST hostel I have yet, is in the States. I once stayed a night in a hotel in Virginia Beach that brought my bad hotel experiences to a whole new level, but this tops it. It is the dirtiest place I've been in, and ...

Panda's Hike up DIAMOND HEAD
HIKING. What do you think about hiking? Well, for me it means a long walk up a rocky surface to reach a destination that is VERY far off the ground. So you've probably guessed by now I've been hiking. Where you may ask? Diamond Head. I woke up early, got ...
Beer on ice in paradise!!
Hello my friends, A few days have passed and not much has changed...or actually a lot has changed. We moved into our new home, and are getting set up here. The place is cool, but a bit too far from any beaches. Well, you have to drive, that's my deal, ...

Day 2 - Honolulu
We had a grand circle tour of the island of Oahu today. The van picked us up at 6:15am which came quite early after our ordeals yesterday. But the tour was nice - we started at Pearl Harbor and visited the Dole plantation, saw many scenic ...
Landing in Honolulu
... and is loaded with our luggage before we leave for Hawaii. Because of the late start and very strong head winds, we arrive in Honolulu two hours late only to be greated by hard rain and strong winds. But rest assured that this is not a complaint on my ...
Why it sucks to fly standby
While waiting at the airport me & chad didn't get cleared until the very end. The plane went out competely full no empty seats. The process seems like your waiting forever but once you get in your seat you forget all about ...
Almost like I am still on Summer Vacation!

Day 1
Early start from Fresno with a three hour drive to L.A. Got to the storage facility to leave the car and found the rules required a tarp to cover the car. At the fantastic rate of 48.00 I received a blue plastic tarp and string of rope. High winds added ...
