Honolulu, HI
Wow. What a beautiful state and Oahu is just stunning. After being here for five days, we have seen and done so much. From going to the beach, hiking, hitting up concerts, and relaxing, I have had the time of my life.
Day 1 I met up with my friend Brandon from high school and we went to the Sublime concert. It was great and the view was beautiful! Honolulu skyline in the background with the nice ocean breeze.
Day 2 we had a nice relaxing day. I cooked a yummy breakfast and then we went to a BBQ at Kapiolani Park with some friends and hung out there for a couple hours grubbing and telling stories.
Day 3 both of us had to attend class, except mine was through Skype. After class, we took the bus to Kailua and spent the day there. It was absolutely beautiful. We went to California Pizza Kitchen, my all-time favorite place, for lunch and then walked to the beach where we hung out for a couple hours. The two of us then walked to some friends house who I hadn’t seen in three years and we sat around for a couple hours chatting about life until we came back to Honolulu. Once we got back, my friend Jessica walked over to our house and we went out too a bar called Lulu’s with the girls and has a fabulous girls night.
Day 4 was a rainy day. I slept in, did some homework and studying, got a work out in and made a delicious lunch. Once the rain calmed down, we went on a beautiful hike, Pu’u Ohia and Manona Cliff Trail. The guys showed me a ton of new things that I had never heard of or seen before and it was absolutely stunning. After the hike, we had a little “date night” and went into Waikiki and had dinner at Duke’s on the beach. It was a great way to end the day!
Day 5 so far has been my favorite. We drove up to North Shore and laid around on Sunset Beach. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The beach was empty so we had it to ourselves. We napped and played in the water and got sunburns (even with sunscreen). But, it was fantastic! I couldn’t be happier here! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we are beginning to prepare our meal.
Happy Thanksgiving and aloha! 🙂
