Day 1 - The Punch Bowl

We arrived in Honolulu on Tuesday, March 25th at about 1:00 pm. We immediately walked off the plane and wanted to go and change our clothes. It was a huge difference between 50 degree weather and 80 degree weather, but we couldn't complain. We picked up our car and went to the hotel. For the first 2 nights we were staying at a local place called The Pagoda. It is really just for local business travelers and locals coming back for a visit. It was in the middle on town and not the greatest place. I didn't care because it didn't have any bugs and it was clean, that is all that matters! After we changed we went for a drive. We drove through Waikiki and then over the The Punch Bowl. It was beautiful and you could really feel a peacefulness about the grounds there. we loved it. Then we started driving, took a wrong turn and ended up lost on top of a mountain with what looked like a bunch of jungle outside. It was a great place to get lost! We eventually made it back to Honolulu. My parents had a dinner appointment so Amber, Aaron and I went to the mall and ate there. Then we walked around the mall, and past all the places that I would never be able to even step foot. This mall was filled with places like, Gucci, Armani, Coach, Tiffany's and more! It was a fun place to window shop! Anyway, by 9:00 pm we were exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. So we made it an early evening and went to our hotel.
