It hasn’t even been 3 weeks back and I’m missing Hawaii already. In fact I’m currently hatching a plan to go back. I would love to live there for a few months. That would be a dream. But when I go back I’d like to see the other islands this time and not just Honolulu.

One thing for sure is that you will not run out of things to do in Honolulu. I’ve put together a list of my favorites. I hope to add to this list in the future.
