A Suitcase and Go

I can't believe 2 weeks are already gone. I've been trying to soak in as much of the island as possible.  A lot of people have suggested I should do some island hopping, unfortunately due to Covid, I don't think that will be possible. Nevertheless, I'm really trying to take in everything Oahu has to offer.   Last week, I started with an Island tour, figured that would be the best way to know where I wanted to explore more. It was fun and there were actually some other tourist from Boston - go figure. It gave me a few highlights of the island that I'll explore further once I have a car. Here are some highlights from the week: Helicopter over Oahu - One of my most favorite adventures ever. I opted for a 60 minute ride with doors off. It was fun and breathtaking to see the island from high up.  My pilot was awesome and explained some history of the island as we were flying over. I had such a wonderful experience. Maui Beer Company - Yes, I know in Maui, but I do like...

Destination 4 in Honolulu, HI more specifically Waikiki Beach.  To be honest a week later and I can barely believe that I’m here for a month (well now 3 weeks)!  When I arrived last Friday I was a bit shocked.  One, it was very busy (I mean what happened to Covid) and two, I was in a total touristy area and it felt like I was on spring break. I told myself it would take a week to settle in. That’s where I am now and feel right at home. My Airbnb is perfect, 1 minute from the beach, and has a little balcony which I use for my early morning workdays.  I get up around 3 am for work, but it's so peaceful outside with the birds chirping, so I don't mind it.   My first week has been really amazing... I think the island life suits me.  Here are some highlights and pictures: Waikiki Beach - Yes it’s super touristy, but it’s beautiful, the water is so blue and the waves are awesome for surfing. Diamond Head - Another touristy destination and busy.  It is...
