Hawaii Part 2

The second part of my Hawaii trip was spent on the island of Oahu. I stayed in Honolulu. Right away I noticed how much busier Honolulu is compared to Kona on the Big Island. It is definitely more of a tourist destination. Anyway, I did my share of touristy activities. I visited Hanuama bay nature preserve. It was once a volcanic crater but because of the collapse of its wall, the Pacific Ocean flooded the crater and a marine bay was created. There's a variety of marine life living in the bay. I was able to explore it by going snorkeling here too!

I also visited the Byodo-In Temple at the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park.

I also went to the Dole plantation. The pineapples in Hawaii are so delicious!

Hawaii Part 1

Hello and welcome to my blog! I travel often and take lots of pictures so I thought this would be the perfect first post. Last week I returned to NYC from Hawaii. For the first part of my trip to Hawaii, I visited the Big Island. While on the Big Island of Hawaii I went on a 12 hour tour and took photos of all these things!

I was sooooo tired after our long day! But the next day I went on a submarine adventure!

    

Then I finished the first part of the trip with a nice dinner and watched the sunset at our hotel.
