I ran off to Hawaii after being unemployed for 2 months. There were not any jobs, temp or permanent, available, so I decided it was time to treat myself. I found tickets from SFO to Oahu for only $300 round trip, and tickets for the hotel for only $60 a night.
So I left my house at 7am PDT to catch my flight. I arrived in Oahu at about 11:30am HT. I checked into my hotel and was immediately amazed that I was in Hawaii. I called my aunt Val and just had to gush about the fact that I was in Hawaii. After I calmed down I went out for lunch and then on a bus (TheBus) to go to Diamond Head.
I was able to hike up Diamond Head and I was amazed at how awesome it was. Man, it was super humid. I got to a lookout and asked a man to take my photo and he was so cute. He was telling me all about the history of Diamond Head. And he made me pose with a shaka. I also met lots of people. It was funny how many people want to talk when they are on vacation.
The way down was a bit scary. There was some stairs that made me wait until every one was off of them because they were that scary.
At the bottom I had some shaved ice and man that was some good stuff. I never had any the rest of the trip, so I can't say if it was that good, or if all the hiking made it all that much better.
I came home after hiking and was taking a moment to check email and look for jobs on Craigslist, when I started talking to a friend through instant messaging and she was like, why are you in the hotel room. And I was like, true. So I went for a walk and to watch the sunset. I did have a small mishap when I accidentally fell into the ocean, but my camera was okay.
And then it was home to get some rest because I had to be up early the next morning. More to follow.
