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.

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...
