Last Day in Hawaii!!ii!!

My last weekend in Hawaii was spent in the capital, Honolulu. For some random information, Hawaii is made up of 8 different islands, Hawaii (Big Island), Maui, Kaho'olawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai and Ni'hau and some sandy atolls. I live on the Big Island, Hawaii in a small city called Kona. Honolulu is on Oahu and is the biggest city in the Hawaiian Islands, about a half hour flight from Kona.

I don't really know how to explain what Honlulu is like. It's one of those places that you could only spend a couple days in and then you begin to feel infected by commercialism, consumerism, and some other isms. The entire city is founded off tourism and is made 90% from hotels, restaurants, shopping centres and a beach that is impoted from the sandy shores of California. It's the ultimate place of comfort and convenience. Despite all this it was really fun!

I was only there for one day but had a blast with Nicole, Myssi and Kelsey. We spent the first day taking a walk around the shop infested city with no money, but it was nice to actually see cool clothes. We also did a lot of eating out as we didn't have groceries with us. Waikiki beach was nice but it was crawling with people, so it wasn't the most appealing beach I've been to. I kinda just went there to say I've been there...
