Oahu 2011 (Part 1)

This is a long overdue blog post  that I have been wanting to share with you all as our time in Hawaii this year was incredible. But when you are too busy to keep up with your own life its hard to keep others updated as well! It will be done in a series as I do not have all of my photos with me while I am currently traveling to the States. 

In Pyeongtaek we happen to live right next to the intercity bus terminal so that makes it really convenient to walk next door and hop on a bus to the Incheon Airport, I really love not driving around here!! On our bus ride we noticed a store that was having an "Opening Sale" which included clowns, stilt walkers, and a hippo. 


Our flight was about 8 hours in total and we had a layover in Japan and due to the international date line we hardly had any jet lag. Woo hoo! Since we were on Oahu for 10 days we decided to rent a Jeep and after about 45 minutes of trying to figure out how the hell to get the top off we finally departed for some much needed retail therapy! Zak is worse off in Korea than I am with clothing sizes, I can usually fit into a Korean Large (lar-gie that is) but given Zaks height he cannot find anything outside of basketball shorts that fit him in Korea, so we definitely took advantage of our empty suitcase and American stores while visiting Hawaii. 


After a day of shopping we decided to whip out our kayak that traveled with us and take it to Kailua Beach where the waters are known for their sea turtles and is one of the best kayaking spots in Hawaii. We traveled to the flat island which is a bird sanctuary and eventually we did spot a sea turtle on our way back to the beach!



It is hard to explain how beautiful these waters truly are!!

Wrapping up our day at the bach we went to our favorite bar "Tropics" wich is located on the resort (Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki) so here is Zak with his favorite drink, "The Back-scratcher" and yes, every drink did come with a back-scratcher!!
