The fam took a group shot and tried to pressure me. I don't drink straight, hard liquor so I refused. Luckily I didn't. Heard one of them got sick in the middle of the night. Could have been me ;)
Recap of Saturday, January 21, 2012.
Woke up early to hike Diamond Head. Fell asleep on the car ride there. I didn't even know what city it was located in (Honolulu btw). It was $5 per car or $1/person if walking in. It'd be the same for us either way. The start of the walk I was already tired, and it wasn't even anything challenging. It was a paved walkway with a slight slope. Getting to the hill (mountain? crater?) pavement turned to rock and that was basically it the whole way besides some stairs. We stopped at almost all the check points on the way up. At one point I gathered enough energy to run up some slopes. Also ran a stairway. It wasn't until after the first tunnel where we were like "Oh Sh..." when we noticed a tunneled staircase that led straight to the observatory. Chose not to go that way and went around the other way. Slightly sloped stairs and a better view. At the top, it was incredible to see everything up there. The water was surreal and all the greenery. Took a bunch of pictures then headed back. The walk back was so much easier and faster and funnier. Had the fam ask me a bunch of times what the Japanese tourists were saying haha! Went to grab breakfast. The first choice had too mnay people. The 2nd choice at Sweet E's was a tragic mistake. Service took 30 min to get our food AFTER 20 min of sitting around for someone to tak our order. Bad experience. Went to Target and Au'lani resort. Finally got to see the Disney Resort. It's Huge! And greatly detailed. Even picked up a new Vinylmation only sold in the hotel of a menehune. After a slight rest there and talk with the cousins, went back to the condo for a nap. Soon enough it was dinner time and met up with some fam. Ate at a Japanese restaurant. Food was great. Place was really nice, a little expensive, but good. Even nice to see fam I haven't seen since 1993. Got mistaken for my sister. Probably because of how old I've gotten haah!
Recap of Sunday, January 22, 2012. Woke up early, finished packing whatever was left, cleaned the condo and off we went to Aloha Stadium for the swap meet. Picked up a bunch of stuff: new dress/top/skirt, warrior head, cellphone charms, nail art stuff, etc. Sooo many goodies. This place was incredibly huge! So many booths. If we ever go back, gotta be a time to spend a whole day there. Ended up seeing the cousins, but had to go. Went to get gas for the rental and off to the airport. Not gonna bore with the airport details, but let's just say I got an Anna Sui eyelash curler for $8 and our flight was delayed. At least no tantrum kids, but I ept needing to use the bathroom because of too much POG Juice. That's pretty much it. A great memorable vacation and a wedding in a gorgeous place. Can't wait until the next trip.
