Jan 16: Honolulu, Hawaii

Aloha!! Julie and I have visited this beautiful Island before, so we decided to forego the excursions and spent the day on our own. We strolled along the beach in Waikiki, admiring the beautiful views of Diamond Head. We watched some surfers and then walked throughout the city, taking in the many sites that make up the area. This is a modern, crowded city, brimming with very high-end designer stores.

Instead of visiting the hoity-toity stores, Julie and I took a different, more practical route, which featured window shopping, a stop at the Ross Dress for Less, Longs Drug Store, L & L Hawaiian Barbecue & lastly the ridiculously expensive Island Vintage Shave Ice kiosk. Two shaved ice specials cost a mere $23.00! I remember when I sold snow balls in Baltimore for $2.00, and they included marshmallow topping! 🤣 We walked a little over 6 miles. It was a great day!Read more
