I've been back from Hawaii for a week, caught up with life for the most part. I spent 8 nights in Waikiki and had a fabulous time with 25 of my most favorite family members (minus Dad who had too much work to leave). Since there were 25 of us, this was the only way to get from the airport to the hotel: Limo! Actually there were 4 limos, yes, this is how my family rolls.
It took me awhile to figure out what pictures of post because a lot of them were just sort of silly and uninteresting if you're not related to me but I figured a few of the pictures were appropriate enough to post. Really, I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I did (surprise, surprise) but one of the days we did our own tour of the island (25 of us practically equals a tour group anyway) via limo. First stop Hanauma Bay.
Then to Nuaanu Pali lookout. It was really windy.
Then we hit up the Macadamia Nut farm. I'm thinking picture: Macadamia Nut God? I don't really know but they had some yummy products and I bought plenty.
Then of course, the Dole Plantation. It's not a trip to Hawaii without pineapple. We didn't really have time for a tour, especially since I spent all my time trying to figure out how much dried pineapple a really needed/didn't need. Answer: a lot. whether i mean need or don't need, I'm not sure. But either way I bought enough, and then some. Btw, lady in green is my mother. Hehe.
That was pretty much most of the touristy stuff we did on our trip. Everyday we went to the beach at least once if not twice. We rented mopeds, if you ever saw my facebook, I didn't officially crash the moped but I did sort of have to stop because I was sort of losing control... anyway. Our days pretty much centered around what we were going to eat so everyday was, what do we eat, and how far do we have to walk or can we get the limo? We also jet skied, went to china town, aloha stadium, and Ala Moana. Some people went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, but I passed on that. Then on one of the days I met up with my sorority big sis! And she took me to her roommates' wedding! It was so much fun and a great experience. Plus I got to meet her hometown friends and she took me around a bit to see where she grew up.
Next up, what I ate.
