Signed, Sealed, Delivered!

Like most of the people all over the world, all I want is to travel and see the world. There are lots of things I wanted to see, that I dream about and plan to go to whenever I can. I love to travel with my husband. My husband and I are just alike. We cannot stand being in one place for a very long time. Since we already know that North Dakota has the harsh winter, we decided to go on a vacation in Hawaii.

Along Waikiki Beach

We love everything about Hawaii. The tropical weather all year round, the people are nice, the places and the beach! Where ever we go, we always make sure that we buy postcard to send to our family and friends. We want them to know that we are always thinking of them while we are enjoying the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Hawaii has eight beautiful islands and would love to visit all of them. So far, we visited the island of Kauai, Oahu and Hawaii's Big Island. Visiting the islands of Molokai, Maui and Lanai are still on the list and we will carefully plan on it. Hawaii is my favorite vacation spot. Eye-love it!

Second Time in Hawaii

I am here in Hawaii... again! We are staying here until April. My husband fell in love with Hawaii. The weather is beautiful plus the wonderful green trees and luscious and fresh tropical fruits and vegetables all over the islands. It's just great!

Hubby loves everything in Hawaii and so do I. We are enjoying our time and having a great time everyday. I will post more pictures later. Hawaii is our winter place and it's a great place where everyone wanted to be.

Kauai - The Garden Isle

Kauai is called The Garden Isle. There's a beauty that can be found in Kauai. The northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain is entwined with sharp mountain spires, lush valleys and jagged cliffs, all draped in a canopy of emerald. Kauai appeals to a wide audience because of its dramatic beauty, abundance of activities and laid back atmosphere.

Hawaiian Breeze

Winn along Waikiki Beach

It has been a month since we got back from Hawaii but still, I am missing the sea breeze around Waikiki area. My husband and I have been talking about Hawaii - our favorite island, the food, the places and things to do in Hawaii.

Second Time in Hawaii

I am ready for another Hawaiian getaway! Last March, we took a 2 weeks' vacation in Hawaii. We visited three islands namely Oahu, Hawaii's Big Island and Kauai. My husband and I had so much fun while in Hawaii. We never missed any scenic spot. We are always on the go! The first thing we do in the morning was to take a morning walk around Waikiki Beach and watch the serene waves. We love the weather in Hawaii.

While spending our 4 days and 3 nights in Kauai, my friend told me to go to Maui Island and experience the best and finest Maui Resort. They have been to Maui and stayed in Ka'anapali resort to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Just imagine how lovely it is to celebrate anniversaries in one of the finest Maui resorts. I bet it would be a lot of fun and most unforgettable moment of my life! Therefore, the next time we will visit Hawaii, Maui Island will be in our itinerary.

There's more to enjoy in Maui than enjoying the beautiful resort. You can watch a humpback whale breach the sea and tee off at a championship golf course. You can also drive up the scenic 53-mile Hana highway and spend a day browsing the museums, shops and restaurants in Lahaina. From the summit of Haleakala Crater to the shore of Big Beach in Makena, Maui has a lot to exhilarating outdoor sights, activities and entertainment for every visitor. As we celebrate our second wedding anniversary this year, we might consider Maui Weddings as we exchange our vows near the beach for the second time around, since it is the perfect location for a honeymoon or a wedding. How romantic! I cannot wait for another Hawaiian vacation!

The Pearl Harbor

Winn inside the Bowfin Park

Our first day in Oahu, Hawaii was spent in the historical Pearl Harbor. We went to the museum and the Bowfin Park where the USS Bowfin Submarine is located. When you plan to go to Hawaii, take time to visit Pearl Harbor.

The Silver Mime

Hang loose!

As you walk or shop around Waikiki area, you will find this silver mime. He will not move unless you will drop a dollar or two. You have to drop any amount just to take pictures with him. If you will go to Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, you will find this silver mime in front of the Waikiki International Market.

The Mokoli'i Island


Winn and I spent 2 weeks in Hawaii. We visited 3 islands in Hawaii - Oahu, Hawaii's Big Island and Kauai. While at Oahu, we visited some scenic spots that people enjoys to stop and to take pictures. We stopped by at Kane'ohe Bay and took a picture of the small island on the east side of Oahu - The Mokoli'i Island.

Mokoliʻi is open to the public from dawn to dusk. On weekends it is somewhat a popular secret with tourists and locals. It can be accessed by kayak, boat, surfboard, or by swimming; depth soundings are only four feet on its west side. This may be dangerous during any other time or inclement weather. The area is home to stone fish and sharks are often seen around the island, often in early mornings.

Big Island Pictures

Back In Oahu



After island hopping in the Big Island and Kauai, we are back in Honolulu, Oahu where we celebrated my husband's birthday at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We are staying at the Waikiki area and we are just minutes away from the international market of Waikiki. His birthday was actually last Wednesday but we are too late to make a reservation for a luau party so we decided to do it here in Oahu.

Island Hopping

Welcome to the Big Island of Hawaii! After spending 4 days and 3 nights at Oahu, we headed to the Big Island. The biggest island in Hawaii. We are going to spend 4 days and 3 nights in the big island too. We went to the beach, experience the good food at the bay area and went to see the active volcanoes in Hawaii. It was really a great experience for both of us.

We are sure that we will be back in the big island someday. We experienced the snow in the mountains of the big island. There's a lot more to see and 3 days is not enough to see and experience all the great things in the big island. I recommend the Big Island of Hawaii to everyone.

Aloha, Hawaii!

Day 1 in Oahu, Hawaii - We arrived in Honolulu International Airport around 4PM. Rented a car and drove around town going to our hotel where we will stay for 3 nights. For our first night, we walked around Kuhio Avenue (Waikiki area) just to see what the place has to offer.

Day 2 in Oahu, Hawaii - The real first day experience of the beauty of Hawaii! We visited some historical places like the USS Arizona Memorial, Dole Plantation and Turtle Bay Resort. We drove around West and North Oahu. We had a blast driving around.

We are taking it slow since we are new and it is our first time to visit to Hawaii. The people always say Aloha and Mahalo which is kinda cool because it is just easy to pick up the words. I am pretty sure that we will have a wonderful vacation here in Hawaii!
