Aloha!
I have always wanted to go to Hawaii to see the breathtaking beaches, taste the fresh piña coladas, and make friends with the pretty Hawaiian hula dancers!
Finally, I got the chance to travel to The Aloha State! However, I only got to visit the islands Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii (or what is also known as the Big Island). And like they say, I have to agree that “there’s really no place on earth like Hawaii!”
First, there are the very friendly Hawaiian natives. Although most of them speak using their mother tongue, they try their best to answer my queries and guide me with directions. It’s really fun learning their culture and knowing their beliefs. Although it was only a couple of days that I stayed with them, I felt really attached to them.
It’s funny though that there are a lot more foreigners than the natives in the islands. Some of the people I recognized there are of course White Americans, Asian (including Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and Koreans), and Europeans (including German and Italian). The state was really spectacular that people from all over the world take time to visit.
There are just so many things to do in Hawaii that my long-week vacation was not enough. Not even close! Anyway, the activities that I enjoyed the most include the following:
Big Island: Dinner cruise at Captain Bean; volcano trail hike (Mauna Loa and Kilaue), and beach activities (including swimming, rafting, and snorkeling) among many others.
Maui: Food trip, “luaus”, and more beach activities!
Oahu: Visit Pearl Harbor, food trip, experience luau buffet, and a lot more beach activities!!
My Hawaiin vacation was really a blast! And I’m definitely gonna do it again!
Aloha for now! ![]()
