First day in Hawaii, we went to the polynesian cultural center which was fantastic!! I recommend it to anyone who's going to Oahu. After staying the night in one of the dumpiest hotels (the price was cheap and it was right next door to the pcc) we stopped at the temple on our way to the North shore.






We stopped at the Dole Plantation, it was really neat!! Loved the train ride...





our view from the condo... gorgeous!!!!






A couple of waterfalls on Kauai'i.






We took a dinner cruise up the Na Pali coast.. it was amazing!!! It's on the west side of the island where apparently you can only get to by boat, or an 8 hour hike. We decided to take the boat. We got to see dolphins, sea turtles, and some naked hippies!!!! good times.





We spent our last day in Hawaii back on Oahu, where we went to Pearl Harbour and Waikiki Beach. I have to say that Pearl Harbour was probably one of my favorite things we did in Hawaii... they say it is a sacred spot, and I have to agree.. it touches your soul. They need to put an enlisting station outside of it cuz you feel extremely patriotic when you leave.. even for Canadians!!!

The USS Missouri, where the treaty signalling the end of WWII was signed...
