wednesday was good. bought lots of gifts and goodies at the swap meet in the aloha stadium. even mailed a "coconut postcard" off to two very special people.
Pearl Harbor was finally good to us (third time's a charm). the movie they showed at the exhibit was really intense - I'd recommend it to anyone who visits. the words "pearl harbor" carry so much more meaning for me now. it made me realize how war is simultaneously so ridiculous, yet so necessary sometimes.
despite the rain, Oahu was a great island. the best thing about it was that, every time we made a wrong turn in our rental car, there was still something beautiful staring us in the face.
here are the top three things to avoid in Oahu:
1. coral - ouch!
2. rain - boooooo!
3. getting to Pearl Harbor too late in the day.
these are my top recommended things to do on Oahu:
1. get a tempura mahi sandwich at kakaako kitchen in Ward Center, downtown honolulu. trust me.
2. drink a hinano.
3. hike! Manoa Falls, Diamondhead, Waimea waterfall.
4. watch the movie at the Pearl Harbor exhibit.
5. go to the swap meet (only on wednesday mornings) at the Aloha Stadium.
6. be lazy on these beaches: Lanikai, Kailua, Sunset and Pipeline.
7. eat lots of pineapple.
