Vacation 2009 #3


Thanks to Shell and Gekd. Two great bloggers I've met. They are both aspiring women.Both of their sites are very informative, creative, and you can tell they both have heart of gold. Thank you so much for your kind words. The support from others has been overwhelming. It feels like it reconfirms my decision to chase after my dream. Things are turning up. It's a lot of work but I'll get there.

So... in light of the holiday weekend I'm going to finally wrap up my Hawaii trip. None of these photos are processed. But husband and I were testing our photo taking ability these days so I believe they look decent enough to share. If you want to read about Day 1 click here or Day 2 click here.

Day #3 WALKING all over Waikiki

Or what it felt like. We walked from our hotel to Shorebird at the Outrigger for their 2 for 1 buffet. Then we walked to the plank that was outside the restaurant for photo opportunity. Afterwards we walked to the International Market Place and had Dole Whip. It's basically a pineapple yogurt treat that's made with Dole pineapples. Then walk up and down Waikiki beach before retreating back to our hotel to rest.

We drove to Ala Moana mall for lunch and shopping. This trip didn’t feel complete if I didn't stop here. I never really buy anything but I love this mall to walk. It's an outdoor mall with shades. Then we checked out Fabric Mart. Hawaiian fabric for CHEAP! Cute ones too! We hit up Wal-mart for our 4th time then returned to our hotel to rest.

For dinner we hit up Puka Dog by walking there. Oh boy... the mango relish and guava mustard is to die for. If you ever go Oahu or Maui.. it's treat. Expensive for hot dogs but ONO-licious.

Thank you for your kind words. I am always happy to see people go after their dreams.

I have to go back to Hawaii. I went when I was a kid, still have fond memories of my time there. Must go back.

Thank you for the love, Maritess. I always look forward to your blog entries because you put so much of yourself out there. Your personality truly shines through your writing & I can't wait until you have the time to meet. When you get the chance- we should arrange a blogger meet-up with all our favorite Bay Area bloggers. Networking at its finest. Great way to get our name out there, right?
