NOTE: This post was relocated from my Mo The Journalist website.
I've been having a major case of wanderlust lately and while I don't have upcoming plans of going on vacation, I do have plans to go home for a few weeks. I'll be there from mid May to sometime in the beginning of June.
I know it must be weird to exclude going to Hawaii as a "vacation" but it really isn't to me. It's going home. Nevertheless I'm creating a list of things I'd like to do during my three or so weeks there. For anyone planning on going to Oahu in the future, think of this as a list of ideas! You'll come to find that I revolve the things I do around food because all I do is eat.
-Kahuku Shrimp Truck
-Bubbies mochi ice cream
-Shokudo for honey toast
-Genki Sushi
-Foodland Spicy Ahi poke
-Soons
-Zippy's (food + cheese square!)
-Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs
-Tenkaippin Ramen
- Cinnamon's
-Leonard's Bakery Malasadas
-Matsumoto's Shave Ice
-Taste Tea
-Tea at 1024 ... tea party complete with hats!
-Eat the Street Kakaako (May 31)
-Let Them Eat Cupcakes
-Curry House
-Floating Lantern Festival (Memorial Day; May 27)
-Waimea beach
-Tantalus
-Lanikai Pillboxes
-Diamond Head
For now, that's all that's on the list. If anything get's added, I'll be sure to update. Even though I lived in Hawaii for nearly 18 years I've never been hiking there. I've decided it's probably time I go do that. Most of my motivation comes from the photos I'll be able to take at the top and along the way. Ever since I've dabbled in astro-photography I've felt this desire to hone my photography skills more. Also, getting video on this trip would be great. <3
