We only had, what, four days in Hawaii? So we did what we could to do as much as possible in those four days. It was, to be honest, probably too much – but dang, we sure did a lot!
To give a complete recounting would be more effort than I’m willing to go to right before bed (our last night in the USA!), but I can give you the overview!
Over the last three days, we:
- Went to about a dozen scenic lookouts;
- Pro tip: if you’re in Hawaii, and you’re passing a scenic lookout, stop at it. It’s always worth it.
- Went to several different beaches;
- Ate barbecue, garlic pizza, poke, spam musubi, and smoothies;
- Went to the USS Arizona Memorial;
- Visited the house where I was born (well, the outside at least);
- Shopped at a macadamia nut farm;
- Hiked up Diamondhead.
It was all amazing, if also a bit exhausting. We’d like to be going into Japan on a liiitle bit more sleep, but this was definitely worth it.
