After spending five lovely days in Maui, we hopped on a short flight and arrived in Oahu. We spent our first day exploring the area close to our hotel, and met up with relatives for dinner. The Mins enjoyed our very large lanai (a.k.a. balcony) attached to our hotel room. We read there every morning while the rest of the fam was sleeping.
We spent our second day strolling along the beach in Waikiki. We would walk a few blocks, then sit...walk a few more blocks...then grab a bit to eat...walk more, then shop. It was a very leisurely day.
This is the Mins looking out to Diamond Head. He said he returns, he wants to hike it.
On my mum's birthday, we did a tour around the island with our relatives who were also vacationing in Oahu. One stop on the tour was the lookout at Hanauma Bay. It's known as a great place for snorkeling.
We also stopped at the Dole Plantation where I bought some souvenirs and ate Dole whip (soft serve pineapple ice cream). The Mins made a few pineapple friends! His pineapple friends have never met a sasquatch before.
After our tour, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a luau. We saw a show in the evening that featured a lot of fire dancing.
We rented a car to drive around the island to check out other stops that were not on our tour. The windward coast of Oahu was really beautiful.
The mountains looked like they were straight out of Jurassic Park!
Despite the Mins' furry exterior, he did enjoy a decent amount of beach time. Some mornings, the Mins and I did yoga on the beach.
I can see why people like Hawaii so much. So much to see and do!
