Thanks for that link Marcovi.
I've been here since Friday. Doesn't really feel like I've done much, but there's so much to do I'm trying not burn myself out. Most of the people I came with went to the Aloha Tower New Years Eve Celebration. Heard it was only okay... I opted out and spent the night hanging with the wife. We strolled the main strip and were going to Lulu's to grab a bite but their kitchen closed early for New Years. Most places were closing early and I ended up grabbing a quick bite from
Sams and
Maries with some
cookies for dessert. I called it an early night as I was still adjusting to the time difference and the grueling flight from the East Coast.
Saturday we made our way to the North Shore... Let me pause to say that Waikiki, where I'm staying, is super commercial! Next time I'll know better. But yeah, we headed to this
historic area on the North Shore and had lunch at this great spot called Breakers. The waitress, Amy was the shit. She also gave us the rundown on what
to do and what to skip and got us headed in the
right direction. After we strolled that area for a while we were headed to Banzai
Pipeline... Traffic had got thick by then and we pulled over by
Turtle Beach and saw some amazing surfers and giant turtles that didn't do shit but lay there.
Did some necessity shopping at the local
Walmart which had some culturally different shit than I was used to and grabbed a great burger at T
eddy's Bigger Burger. Gotta run, about to get into some nightlife...
ps, Waikiki is swarming with hookers after 10! FYI
