Hawaii

Having the opportunity to travel to Hawaii is the adventure of a lifetime. There’s so many places to go and see. You could never not have something to do here. In pictures all you see in Hawaii is the clear ocean and white sand. But that’s nothing close to what it is like. If I had the option to move to Waikiki, Hawaii I would be there in less than a day.

Being able to stay and the Hyatt Regency and Spa hotel is an opportunity of a lifetime. There’s so many things to do and see like; going to the pool on the 4th floor, being able to have a snack while sitting on the patio of the 40th floor, along with going shopping at one of the 60 stores in the hotel. Now you can’t just go on an adventure in your hotel, you are going to have to stroll out of your hotel, and see the wonders of Waikiki.

Walking down the streets of Waikiki you will find stores, authentic restaurants, and even markets. You will never be bored here. Starting off with the clothes stores you can find; Bebe, Coach, Raulph Loren, and even Macy’s. One of Hawaii’s most famous stores is the ABC store. You can find one of these stores on every block and corner that you find. Inside the ABC store you can find things like sun tan lotion, boogey boards and even toothbrushes. They really come in handy. For the restaurants you have the option of eating at The Rainforest café, which is actually inside a tree house and also travel to different culture foods like; Viatnemiese, Chinese, Thai, Hawaiian, and Japanese.

Now let’s talk about my trip to Hawaii. When I went to Hawaii I experienced so many things. One thing was swimming in the ocean for the first time ever. Once I stepped into the rough ocean I was scared of sharks, but then I got onto my boogey board and sailed away. Another thing I did was eat shrimp. I had never had shrimp in my life before, but after swimming at North Shore we stopped at the Shrimp Truck and had shrimp and Icee’s. I also had the opportunity to swim at the University of Hawaii. It was an outdoor pool right next to volcanoes. It was a pretty cool college.

One of my favorite things though was going to the markets. At the markets you could buy all kinds of things. Lay’s, necklace’s, bracelet’s and you can even catch you own oyster and keep the pearl inside. The market was also full of ponds, and birds too. I went back to the market every day, because I loved it so much. I also was able to get small gifts for all of my friends, even at a low price.

Also when I was there me and my sisters went off to some of the highest fashion stores in Hawaii. We didn’t buy anything though, because it was so expensive, but we had a good time trying on all of the clothes and taking cool pictures.


In addition on the first day of our trip we were able to have malasadas. Malasadas is a kind of doughnut that is very popular in Hawaii. It is a soft bread type base covered in sugar, and filled with fillings like custard, haupia, or dobash. I had about 4 of those on the first day.

And probably one of the most fun adventures that I had was parasailing. I was able to go parasailing with my other two sisters. It was fun because from our hotel window my grandma and aunt could see us up in the air. It was also cool because there was an airplane right above us, and we got a cool picture of that. I also got to see the ocean was a deep blue, and there were also about 20 dolphins swimming next to the boat.

As you can tell I had the best time in Hawaii. Even though I was only there for a week, I could go on forever talking about all my adventures. I can’t wait to go back to Hawaii this year. I will come back with a lot more adventures.
