This past week, my wife (still not used to saying that word) and I spent our honeymoon in beautiful Honolulu, HI. We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki Beach. Our room overlooked the ocean and we were a quick walk to the beach from our hotel tower. It rained on occasion while we were there but nothing like the rain storms we get in the northeast. Usually they were sun showers. Only once was the sky kinda dark, but after an hour or so it cleared up. We went to Pearl Harbor but didn’t get a good view of the USS Arizona due to the rain coming down at the time. As soon as we got back on the tour bus, it stopped raining. We also took a day trip to the big island, Hawai’i, to check out the volcanoes. It rained there too but only while we were on the bus. While on the big island, we visited the black sand beach, which was beautiful and we would’ve liked to have taken some home if it wasn’t for the superstition that it’s bad luck. We didn’t wanna chance it. We also visited the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut factory and purchased some Hershey’s Kisses with Macadamias inside (supposedly they’re only sold on the Hawaiian islands). We didn’t get to see any lava flows like you see in the movies, mostly because they’re rare. The shots you see in movies take weeks to get and they use high power lenses to get a close-up view from a safe distance. We would’ve easily spent another week there, if we could have. We didn’t want to come home and deal with work after spending a week in paradise.
