Back from Hawai'i

Had wonderful four days with Matt in Honlulu.  Lots of hiking, beach time and booze. Some of the highlights:
  • Got a Humu humu nuku nuku āpuaʻa crossing sign!
  • Dinners at Roy's. Delicious food and impeccable service. Literally. I felt like giving them a 30% tip.
  • Spectacular views of O'ahu from the top of Diamond Head.
  • And the staircase I had to climb to get there.
  • A free upgrade to a partial ocean view room.
  • Ended up having the worst fruit plate in life in Hawai'i. Shame. The honeydew looked and tasted like a jicama.
  • Making a pair of sand Crocs at the beach.
  • Crazy plants along the trail to Manoa Falls
  • This one homeless guy's sign: "Why lie -- need booze".
  • The hotel's fire alarm accidentally went off more than few times at 7:30 in the morning!
  • Navigating with Matt's BlackBerry and getting lost amidst Honululu's streets that make no sense.
  • Took a very long to meet up with Matt at the Honolulu airport. Once again, the map made no sense either.
