Hi everyone

Ly here, well talk about sacrifices! Getting up early to watch the surfing was tough. I must admit though it was a pretty amazing sight to see with all these pro surfers and the crowd just going wild. They must love the ...

... can't leave Hawaii without buying souveneirs. There are a lot of souveneir shops including the shops at the international market where you can easily get lost. Be sure to look around first because I saw the same t-shirt for $10.00 going for 3.99 at another shop.. Always get extra souveniers. The prices were fantastic. Maybe because of economy? You will run into someone that will say wow you went to Hawaii? It nice to say yes and I ...

I got checked out of the hospital late this afternoon and just in time to hit the beach at sunset. I would've gotten released earlier but the doctor was busy in surgery.

As we didn't get to do any shark diving in Fiji we booked a tour to do a shark snorkel. We were three miles out to sea off the north shore of Ohau to the shark grounds. As soon as the boat stopped we could could see ...

We had a rather lengthy discussion as to where we would try next and came up with several possibilities. My favorite was ...

... buffet. For 10 dollars all you can eat. The soup tasted horrible, the beer even worse. The only American trace were dried up fries. But the scampi's!!!!!!!! Of the best I ate in years! The best Mexican in town, how they called themselves, served our food less than 3 minutes after ordering it: always a worry. And it was not very nice. Not even hot. We did not climb the Diamond Head crater. It warned at the foot of the crater: decent walking shoes are ...

Une petite randonnée pedestre dans la région de Manoa à la conquête des chutes de Manoa nous permis de découvrir la forêt tropicale d'Oahu qui est remplie d'arbre nommé banyan, les arbres de Tarzan avec pleins de liannes!! C'était très humide, ce qui permet à la végétation d'être époustouflante!! Après-midi ...

... rains. What is good about the rain though is that it rains hard for about 15 Min's and then just stops, in the UK it will just drizzle all day. Because it is so tropical it also gets very hot and humid as well when it rains and you can really feel it. Final thoughts on Hawaii Hawaii really is a beatiful place. The islands have got a lot to offer the beaches are amazing, the scenery through the mountains and hills is really beatiful and there are palm trees everywhere.
