Hit up Byodo-In Temple yesterday which was cool. Might hit up Giovanni's for lunch today. Realized we need more time here, we were knocked out yesterday due to the time difference lol. Just been enjoying the resort since the wifey's tired, until we find some other chill options.

Yeah I like manapuas every once in a while.

To be honest I don't really like deserts, but my girl got this poi crunch the other day that was bomb.

I also need to get out to Waihole Poi Factory and try the "Sweet Lady" which is a haupia ice cream desert.

hawaiian pie company on dillingham makes a great POG pie.
libby's manapua is still one of my favorites but they been skimping on the filling badly.

Super late, but update with images from our gopro and cameras.


I had an AMAZING time. I'd like to thank anyone and everyone who added input.

The food, weather, women, and overall atmosphere was just incredible.

My favorite activity has to be between riding atvs in the rain (breathtaking views and feel in the rainfall) and snorkeling (we ended up doing it twice, for hours)

Unfortunately I think we wound up doing too many activities (as weird as that sounds), it became difficult to soak it all in.

The last day we just ended up relaxing at the beach, that was marvelous.


First thing I noticed off the plane besides the humidity, the clouds


Initial stop after the hotel, Rainbow Drive In


Beautiful walk back


Next stop


The rest just get pretty random



And then random gopro/phone photos

it's poke (raw fish).

my man went to nakamura ramen. that spot is for sure in my top 10 ramen places on the island.

[jthagreat]

Poke was phenominal, was not disappointed at all.

Jordan, awesome pics!

I ended up using a canon t3i with a yongnuo 35mm f2 lens for what I could. Always a bit worried with sand around.

lol @ the huge lady walking into leonards.

The ramen spot, small, but The way the dining was oriented was interesting for sure.

And I didn't notice the lady until I uploaded all the photos on my laptop

Like HNL HI said, one of the many variations. It's a shame you're allergic.

We sure did! Giovanni's. Flys everywhere

Also, very late but I made a video. I've never really used final cut before but I was inspired by another NT'ers Hawaii video.

It's nowhere near as good, but I tried my best. Check it out below!

Fumi's > Giovannis (imo)
Nice pics jordan novice

It's funny what stuntman mike said about anything north of Ko Olina.
My wifes Grandmother is from Waianae. The beaches are nice and not 'touristy'... And there's a fried chicken place there that's pretty good!
