Aloha, Hawaii

Was amazing!

My favorite excursions, Pearl Harbor Hike Maui, Sunset cruise, Glass bottom tour, and the luaus! We went with my family, my mom's side of the family, and Petey, Grandma's best friend! We went on Pride of America- From Norwegian Cruise line, and went to Maui, Hawaii, Oahu and Kaui'i.

-We went to Pearl Harbor, be4 going on the cruise. We went shopping, saw a submarine, and waited a while for our tour number to be called. Next we saw sad movie about Pearl Harbor, I cried, so much destruction.
-The first luau, Germaine's luau in Honolulu, Oahu was fun, I got to learn a hula dance and the fire warrior, were brave, crazy, and awesome, kinda like my friend Steve! Lol, you should be one! I tried a virgin Mai Tai, yum!
-On Hike Maui, we went through a rain forest and swam in two falls area, and had cool water hike shoes, or "Ninja turtle shoes!" Nature lovers would have loved it, I'm not much of one, but it was enjoying!
-On the sunset cruise, also Maui was fun, food, drinks, I tried a virgin Pinta Colata, yumm! We also got to see the sun set by Maui, beautiful!
-The glass bottom tour in Hilo, Hawaiian we saw Spinner dolphins besides our boats, coral reef and fish on the bottom. We also saw parasailers! A women on the ship taught hula and did some, she was very friendly. I had fun with Grandma and Petey.
-The second luau was better than the first, we started with seeing the Kalamaku Mansion and train tour of the plants of this plantation, which is the biggest sugar plantation mansion of all the islands, and the biggest Clysdale population. Next, the luau, starting with hula, then food, and this was a theatrical luau, about the Polynesian's travel to Hawaii! That's why it's my favorite, and my favorite course of luaus, is roasted pig, which is roasted in an imu, aka in the ground pit. Good stuff!

Maui was my favorite, and so was Oahu. As the Maui people say, "Maui no ka 'oi!" or "Maui is the best!

A Hui Hou (or until we meet again pronounced ah who-ee ho0), Mahalo and Aloha,
