My first trip to Hawaii (Honolulu on the island of Oahu) was extremely special for many reasons. I went for the wedding of Matt & Kumiko, my great pals in Japan, and the big event was fantastic! I met my pal Dae there also, and we had a such an amazing time eating, drinking, shopping, and enjoying the beach (and congratulations on catching those waves, Dae!). We did lots of tourist stuff, too, like hiking Diamond Head, visiting the USS Arizona memorial, and stuffing ourselves at a luau. The city was celebrating the Aloha Festival, too, so the streets were full of hula dancing and great music - the people are so proud of their culture, and they should be. Everything was so perfect that I was truly sad to leave - I don't think I've ever been so sad to leave a place before (except maybe Disneyland)! I definitely want to go back and explore the other islands someday!
