Little miss wahini in Hawaii

Aloha! I officially arrived to Hawaii two days ago. I am staying with Rachel and her sister Michelle in a little town called Aiea, the only city in U.S. without consonants, mind you. Rachel and I went to Waikiki yesterday and walked around the downtown area. Oh man, this place is gorgeous. I can honestly say that I am really impressed with the scenery, cleanliness, and friendliness of people.
Rachel says "Aloha!"
Today we went to the north shore. We stopped at Shark's cove, where there were huge waves. Then, we walked about a quarter of a mile to the next beach and it was A-FRIGGEN-MAZING. There were like maybe three other pairs of people, at the most. The waves were also so strong and intense. I played in the water for like a half hour and then the waves kicked my ass (Rachel was able to witness this) and I wiped out about three times. We also walked up shore a bit and saw a bunch of surfers, which was kewl, dude! Har har har!
Tomorrow we'll be going to Pearl Harbor, and then the Polynesian cultural center for tours, food, and a luau. The rest of the week we'll be climbing volcanoes, enjoying more beaches, watching wales, etc....
Mahalo for reading!
