Waikiki Travel Blogs

Our flight from of Honolulu was due out at 0915 this morning so we had an early start to be at the airport 2 hours prior to check in. We packed, paid our bill at the hotel last night and returned the hire car yesterday as well, so all we needed to do this morning was roll out of bed, shower, pu…

  I'm beginning to think there was something wrong with my camera. I don't have many photos from my last couple of days back in Waikiki either. To be honest, I think I may have just been very relaxed and enjoying the last few days of my lovely honeymoon. Soaking up the sun, soaking up th…

So sad. Last day in Waikiki as my flight was at 10pm. Weather was bad and gas in car was low. My favorite quote of the trip "All I want is to get to Lanikai without using any gas!" Truly didn't know what to do on this last day. Couldn't figure out how to go East on H1 from Waikiki. Didn't get to sa…

In April I chose to cash in my frequent flier miles for the grand opportunity to visit Hawaii for the first time and scheduled the trip as a birthday present to myself in November (I give myself great gifts!)I was optimistic at the time that I could find SOMEONE who wanted to go with me in the span…

We both woke up around 4:30am. The time change was something our bodies would have to get use to. We got dressed and went outside to take a walk on the beach and wait for the sunrise. We brought cameras this time.The streets of Waikiki were pretty much deserted, there were some people waiting for b…

I compiled a quick list of hotels that you may want to consider when visiting Oahu. I put this list together in preparation for the Honolulu TravBuddy meetup in Feb 2010.   I will continue to revise the list.   There are MANY hotels I haven't listed, but this is a good starti…

Yes, I had to take a week out of my studies to do some thesis research back in Hawaii for a week.  We were very busy and I only got to spend one evening taking pictures of the sunset all week.  The other nights we had to work until after sunset.  I also missed a week's worth of maste…

I've lived on O`ahu all my life and I'm still discovering new things here. =)

Aloha! I went to Waikiki, Oahu, Hawai'i back in 2005 i believe, for about 4 days. Hawai'i the most touristy place I've been to so far. Hawai'i relies on tourists to maintain their states necessities. Hawai'i consists of many islands and we chose to go to Waikiki being our first timers in Hawai'i. I…

By the time my second year of teaching rolled around, the show LOST was quite popular.  The set had been moved from its previous location in Mokule’ia because so many people went to see it.  The stars were every day people on the island, and it wasn’t surprising to see Matthew Fox at …

As soon as I purchased my plane tickets to Hawaii for Jenny's wedding, I looked up local TravBuddies and asked a few of them if they would like to meetup.  I got a few responses back.  So where to go and what to do...hmmm?  Since Jenny and Eric's wedding reception ended around 6:30pm…

I arrived late one night and was staying at a hostel just a block away from the beach. When I checked in I signed up to do a South Shore trip they offered at the backpackers the following day. It was only $15 and about 15 of us got driven in a van and got taken to lookouts and different beaches. It…

For those of you who will be visiting my lovely state on the weekend of June 9th and 10th I have some great news. You rarely find free entertainment these days, so heads up! Kuhio Avenue, Diamond Head side, there will be "Sunset on the Beach" This is a cool little gathering that is sponsered by loc…

Me and my best friend went to waikiki , mainly stayed there but got to see the rest of the island of oahu.

We arrived Sunday night around 7:30 pm after an 11 hour direct flight from Newark.  I was lucky enough to have enough frequent flyer miles to make the trip feel much shorter and more comfortable.  The first thing you notice is that many things are outside in Hawai'i including airport…
