This post is from our recent trip to Oahu. Ive got to tell you, if you ever have the opportunity to make it to Honolulu, you should absolutely take the offer. It has to be one of the most gorgeous places in the U.S.. It is so amazing to have such a special location in our country.
The hospitality there is amazing. We took a surf lesson, rode a canoe, saw a few hula demonstrates and even had a chance to try out some real Hawaiian food at a luau. They say ono out there, it means delicious. The Kalua Pig is to die for and be sure to stop by for a lava flow night cap at Dukes. Its a little spot on Waikiki beach, great for an evening cocktail. One of the most memorable aspects was when we treated ourselves to a massage in Honolulu. It was stunning, super relaxing and well deserved after a hard years work.
Hawaii is wonderful. Don’t stress that you won’t do it all, because you can’t. Figure out what is most important to you and concentrate on that. Take time to unwind and savor just being there. Needless to say, we will be going back as soon as possible.
