Arriving at Honolulu	(Click the picture to get full size version) A blast from the past, we were returning to our old haunts in Waikiki. Despite many years passing we didn't find much had changed. The skys were still blue and the water still warm. It's pretty touristy, but it still manages to be paradise. my sister and Franck, Sandra and I shared a condo, and my Grandpa, Mom and Dad shared the other. We only had a week but we were able to do a lot of stuff. We went snorkeling in Hanuamu Bay, climbed up to the top of Diamond Head, took a catamaran ride, went biking, rollerbladed around Waikiki, and drove all the way around the Island. Of course we had to go for dinner at the Sheraton Ocean Terrace buffet! Sadly we had only one week, then we had to come back - but at least we could continue our vacation in Canada.
