Booze Cruise(s)

One of the best ways for my friends and I to pre-game in Waikiki was by taking a quick, semi-scenic trip off the beach on a fun and friendly booze cruise. There are a few options, but the one I always ended up taking was the Na Hoku II (http://nahokuiiandmanukai.com/wp/) behind the Sheraton Hotel in Waikiki. You can call and make reservations for your group or take your chances and just hang out near the area around the times they ship out (late morning, afternoon, and early evening). The prices seem to change a bit according to the time of day. I believe it was $35 per person when I last went on this trip, but the price may have gone up since then. 

The best part about taking this short cruise is that you can sit and relax with you friends while having as many drinks as you can (all drink costs are covered with the entry fee). There are a variety of mixed drinks along with Coors Light and PBR beers and some non-alcoholic drinks available. And don't worry! There are bathrooms below deck. 





The crew has always been very funny and kind. They play island music the whole way and its just a cool relaxed vibe. Most passengers are in more of a party mood, so if that's not your thing, you might want to look into some of the other sailing options. The catamaran goes out passed Diamond Head, so you can get some great views of the Waikiki shoreline. 


Before you board, staff will take a photograph of your party that may be purchased at the end of your sail. I don't remember exactly, but I believe they are $15 a piece with discounts for additional purchases. This is the perfect way to start your night out in town, as long as you don't get sea sick. 

                                   

Happy Sailing!

Road Trip 2020, Part 1 (Days 1 - 3)

Image
My plan for the summer of 2020 was to be on the coast of Italy, meeting up with some travel friends for an all girl’s trip. We came up with the idea around November 2019, but as COVID-19 hit and became all the more powerful in its influence, it was clear that the trip was off.  I have to admit, I was quite lucky to be spending the pandemic in beautiful Hawaii. Once people were discouraged from coming to the islands, things got pretty loose. While social distancing and wearing masks were encouraged, we weren’t as restricted as other places on the mainland or other countries. I can see how I was a brat for complaining when in reality, I could still do many hikes, see friends (in groups of 10 or less), and visit the beaches I loved. Regardless, I had the summer off from work and I was hoping to go somewhere new.  Since international travel was not likely to happen, I figured I’d take the time to see friends and family on the mainland. I ended up talking to a girlfriend in Las Veg...

New Years in Istanbul (2013) and some Turkey Visits!

Image
  12/28/13 When I arrived in Istanbul for the first time, it was pretty late at night. I was happy I had a friend from Travel Buddy that was waiting to hose me. By the time I arrived at his apartment, I was ready for bed. So, not much more to talk about.  On my second day, my host had to go to work. Luckily, he had a brother who was free. His brother took me to a park and we walked around the city for a while. It was awesome to see the coast and all the local attractions.  We stopped for a drink. I ordered what I thought was an iced coffee, but ended up being some sort of delicious ice cream. We then made our way to the center of the city, near the boats. We had dinner, the food was amazing. Afterward, we took a ferry over to the European side of Istanbul. Then, I met up with some other travel buddies and the party really began. It happened to be Samina's birthday.  So that's just added another reason to celebrate. We walked around looking for pubs. After visiting a ...

Ko'olau Summit Trail (Pali Puka)

Image
  Sunday is typically reserved as a hiking day for my friend group and me. This past Sunday, we decided to try a trail none of us have ever done but was on our lists: Pali Puka. This trail is less than 1 mile (my GPS marked it as .85 to the hole in the rock and back,) rated moderate-difficult, has many steep areas where ropes are provided to help climb, can be windy and muddy, and will have you walking along some cliff edges. If you’re not great with heights, this may not be the one. However, one of the girls with us was very nervous at the cliffs and managed to make it with our support. Getting to the Pali Puka was pretty easy and there is a parking area for the Nu’uanu Pali Lookout Point (if you’re coming from Honolulu, just take highway 61 N about 5 miles and the signs are marked. If you reach the tunnels, you went too far). There are parking fees for non-residents that can be paid at the pay stand. It looked like there were several options to pay including the use of a credit...
