Hawaiimoon

 

Andrew and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Hawaii is an awesome paradise for honeymooners especially after all the crazy wedding planning. I'm not really a beach person but man, Hawaii was on a different level. It's beautiful, tropical, the sunsets are unreal, there's tons of SPAM, and it was really CHIIIIILL. Pretty sweet I would say! Thanks Andrew for coming up with the itinerary for our Hawaiimoon!

Things to know about Hawaii

  1. Surfer talk is not a stereotype, IT IS REAL!

  2. Hawaiians love their spam as much as I do

  3. Renting a convertible is a MUST!

  4. Stay on the Northshore in Oahu because Waikiki is a tourist trap

PLACES WE VISITED IN OAHU, HAWAII
TURTLE BAY RESORT | BANZAI PIPELINE | SHARK'S COVE: My favorite beach | SUNSET BEACH | WAIMEA BAY | HANAMA BAY | MATSUMOTO'S SHAVED ICE | THE PIG AND THE LADY: Popular restaurant | HALEIWA BOWLS | MANIFEST COFFEE | MUSUBI CAFE IYASUME: Musubi! | REGAL BAKERY: Overrated | NORTHSHORE TACOS: Get the pineapple smoothie! | MARUKAME UDON: There was a long line here so we tried it out and it was absolutely delicious! Best udon!

PLACES WE VISITED IN MAUI, HAWAII
ANDAZ MAUI AT WAILEA: Definitely recommend this resort! | MAMA'S FISH HOUSE: Very beautiful restaurant recommended by my friend Deborah. Nearby there's a beach where turtles layout | GIOVANNI'S SHRIMP TRUCK: OMG I can still taste the garlic shrimp in my mouth. So delicious! | THE ORIGINAL HAWAIIAN SHRIMP TRUCK: Didn't have time | SNORKELING AT MOLOKINI ISLAND | OLD LAHAINA LUAU: My favorite activity we did on this trip! | ROAD TO HANA: Start your day early because this will take all day and the drive there was pretty dangerous so be careful! Here are some places we checked out along the way: Eucalyptus Tree Grove, Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach, Pools of Ohe'o,  Pipwai Trail to Waimoku Falls | ESKIMO CANDY: Authentic Hawaiian Poke sometimes has a metallic taste I'm not a fan of. Luckily Eskimo Candy tasted the best because of their Spicy Tuna. Ask for double Spicy Tuna. It's so worth it! |  ULULANI'S SHAVED ICETOBI'S SHAVE ICE: One of the better shaved ice we had! | DA KITCHEN CAFE: The food looked amazing here but the taste was okay | SOUTH MAUI FISH COMPANY | ALOHA MIXED PLATE: Loco Moco dish is delish! | WOW WOW HAWAIIAN LEMONADE: Probably one of the places I crave the most. Get the FROZEN Strawberry Lilikoi and the Haupia Ono bowl. Loved this place so much we went four times!
