So as some if you may already know, I recently went on a trip to Hawaii. I'm actually still currently on that trip as I write this up. Anyway, the trip was really a great adventure. I was really able to take in the culture and experience a lot of different things. On the day that I arrived, after I checked in at the resort, I headed down to historic Pearl Harbor. I took a tour of the SS Missouri which was really interesting as well as hot and kind of cramped. On the second day, I headed down to Wikiki. I was planning on going down to the beach that's famous here, but unfortunately, the GPS on the rental was being strange and didn't lead me to the right place. Luckily there was a galleria area near the beach and I ended up doing some gift shopping. After filling up my bag with goodies to take back home, I walked over to a California Pizza Kitchen(what it was doing so far from home, I will never know...) . I had a quick bite to eat then headed out to make the hour long drive out of the main city down to the resort. I was smart enough to leave the air on before I left for the day so I came back to a very cool room. I took off my shoes and jumped onto my bed. I was still a bit jet-lagged so I ended up falling asleep after only an hour. The next morning, I headed down to the restaurant in the resort for a bit of breakfast. After quickly scanning the menu, I decided upon a traditional Hawaiian breakfast called Loco Moco; boy was it loco. The dish consisted of a plate full of steamed rice with a burger patty on top with a fried egg on top all covered in a delicious gravy. I have to admit, it looked a bit strange, but still a part of me kept saying, "just try it,"so I ended up licking my plate clean.
The next day, I headed down to Honolulu for a little museum hopping(yeah cuz I'm a nerd). I made my way down to Bishop museum which showcased a lot of items pertaining to Hawaiian culture and heritage. After that, I headed to the Pacific Aviation Museum near Pearl Harbor. That trip was fairly good, but honestly war planes aren't high on my list, but it was still informative. To round out the rest of the day which was still fairly early thanx to screwed up sleep patterns that had me up at 6 in the morning, I headed down by Wikiki again and saw the famous King Kamehameha statue as well as the palace. There's going to have to be a part two to all this because I'm headed to a Luau in a few so I need to get ready for that.
