Hawaii, My Dream Vacation

Oct-2-2007 By shoppingmum

I have to set a budget for a trip to Hawaii within these few years. Frankly, it will be our 10 years anniversary 2 years from now, and hubby promised me a trip to Hawaii when we first started dating. I am not sure if he still remembers that, but I will remind him later. LOL!

I have collected lots of vacation rental information in Hawaii, and no matter which part of Hawaii it is, I have the list of vacation rentals available. But I would like to visit Maui first since it seems like a good place for shopping. Of course, this trip will be longer than our usual vacation as it’s so far away, I hope that we will be able to cover as much of Hawaii as possible.

Once my friend Doris is back from her trip, I will ask her all about rentals, food, shopping, sightseeing, and other traveling tips about Hawaii. 2 years is not too far away from now!

History Freak

Jun-29-2007 By

I’m one of those history freak that loves to visit the Museum. However, it’s not easy to find someone who has the same interests as me, and accompany me to the museum or historical spot. My brother who visited Egypt complained so much about the trip, but I still want to see Egypt in my own eyes, despites the negative comments he told me about the country.

If I’m going to Hawaii, I will surely visit Pearl Harbour. I’ve read and watch the movie, so I wanted to see the place by myself. I think a lot of tourists will also visit the historical spot because Pearl Harbor has its historical significance landmarks like a poignant memorial, a mighty battleship, a World War II submarine, and an aviation museum.

A free and easy trip in Hawaii will be much better than a tour. You can easily plan a trip online from Hawaii’s official site. So, have fun there ya?

Hubby’s cousin who is getting married is still indecisive about the honeymoon. Frankly, my honeymoon was not properly planned as well and we got the tickets in a hurry. We went to Korea because that was the only trip available which coincided with my leave.

But I knew that was not my dream honeymoon because Korea is far from being a romantic honeymoon spot. I wanted to go to Hawaii, but then it was too rush for us back then. So, I hope that hubby’s cousin will decide on going to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

If they have friends and family who want to go along, they can easily get a Hawaii Condo and share out the cost. Yes, I know, it may not be so romantic if there are other parties going along with the trip, but since they are worrying about the budget, staying in a condo with friends may be a good choice.

Anyway, they better make up their mind soon as the wedding is only 2 weeks from now!

Surfing

Jun-26-2007 By

I have no idea how to surf, but BIL#4 is very good at it. He used to practice a lot in Thailand and he has always wanted to surf in other places with great waves to try out his skill. He has not been to Hawaii, but everyone knows that he is drying to surf there one day.


Just imagine those endless incredible waves of Hawaii pushing your surf board further, don’t you feel the thrill of trying it out too? Even if you do not know now to surf, there are surf classes available in which you can take up some short courses and feel the waves by yourself. I know my hubby is willing to try it, but I am too chicken to do this. I better sit on the beach and take his photo instead. LOL!


So, if you like surfing, go to Hawaii.

Hawaiian Food Festival

Jun-24-2007 By

It’s June, and if you are in Hawaii, don’t you forget to check out their annual food festival which will be held on the island of O‘ahu. This three-day event will showcase food samplings from more than 25 of the island’s top restaurants. Besides that, there will be live musical entertainment, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, a beer garden and family exhibits. But it’s not free of charged as you need to pay a admission fee.

Besides the local delicacies, most of us love Hawaii’s white sandy beaches and the clear blue sea. It is truly a heaven for tourists who love to have a beach vacation where you are really relax and do nothing else but sunbathing.

So, if you wondering where should you go this summer, think about Hawaii. I would go there too if I can afford the trip now!

Hawaii

Jun-24-2007 By


My friend, Doris, told me that she might be planning for a trip to Hawaii by the end of the year. I’m so envy that she can go for a trip to Hawaii, as it is one of my favourite vacation destinations which I have in mind for a long time.

But for the time being, we don’t have the budget for the trip as Doris told me that she is working on USD10k for a trip to Hawaii and LA. USD10k is too much for me, so I better just delay this trip until a few years later because there is only one thing that is stopping us from getting a vacation in Hawaii —— MONEY!
