Below is what I wrote in a journal. Heh, easier to copy paste than rewrite anew. :P
"What a wonderful, whirlwind day touring the entire island of O'ahu. The day started bright and early before 6 am, a quick visit for peanut butter sandwiches at the ABC store, and then patiently waiting for our bus.
We were picked up at 7:30 and sat in the front row, right in front of the big window, so we had an incredible view the whole drive.
"Our first stop was at the Halona blow hole. We were here the other day on the blue line, only this time we actually saw the water fly up when waves crashed. Must be a tide thing. Drove through really rich areas and areas populated by Latter-Day Saints.
"Stopped at the Japanese Byodo-In Temple where Mom and I rang the giant bell, saw the Buddha, and did seriously fast souvenir shopping. We stopped in the Waimea Valley for lunch. I had the amazingly tasty shrimp while Mom had the beef patty covered in gravy. After this we walked to the Wailele Waterfall, 3/4 miles each way. We didn't swim, though the last time Mom visited she did go into the water. We got Dole whip at the Dole Plantation. And then enjoyed grand vistas at a lookout."
There's so many tours by different companies that go around O'ahu, some going to the same spots, and some different. We went through Polynesian Adventure.
This was such a beautiful, wonderful day. :0)
