Hi there, I'm writing you now from my new appartment. Finally we moved in and we were all happy about it. Although we had a lot of fun with the guys in our hostel, but it's still something different to have its own appartment. In the 10 days while we were staying at the polynesian beach club hostel (which I can strongly recommend for cheap and nice habitation) we did a lot of activities like BBQ, Trips on a boat and of course... party! YEAHHH!!! I know it may sound a little bit crazy, but now that I moved in the [View Full Entry]

Hi everybody, my first week on O'ahu has passed and I had to do a lot of things. First I met my new Roommates. I knew one already from Munich, Matthias is his name. The other 2 come from Norway and their names are Jeanette and Katrin. My first impression was, that they're very nice and not picky or something, but let's wait until we move all together.... We were pretty lucky, because we found an appartment on the first day we searched for it. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies, 1 living room and a kitchen. Altogether we [View Full Entry]

Crazy!! anyway, our biggest mission for the day was to see a turtle. On the way we found a great local cafe in Haleiwa that sold awesome food and have become [View Full Entry]

Hi everybody! This is already my second journal. My semester will start on September 6th so I have to use the time to write you some journals... Well finally I arrived on the beautiful Island named O'ahu on August 20th. This is where I'm going to 'study' for a whole semester. The first feeling when you get out of the plane is overwhelming. The temperature is fantastic. Not too hot, not too humid. Just perfect. The only thing that is kind of annoying is the tourism on this island. Many things seem to be artificial, but you get to used to [View Full Entry]

We have been blessed to have survived and enjoyed our marriage since 1987. In June 2005, we had an opportunity to have an anniversary in a tropical island. Oahu Hawaii. Excellent. I told my wife we better enjoy traveling while we can still walk. While we still have our health. Thank you Lord for giving us this fantastic adventure. Five days in Oahu. Not a long time but we did what we can. After getting our luggage, we proceeded to get our rental van. Got a map of the island. Proceeded to our hotel at Waikiki. No problem. The flight [View Full Entry]

The other day in the other year my friend asked me where we should go away for a week in the summer. I said: "I dunno!" Then I phoned her in an hour and told her to pack up her stuff because we are going to Hawaii. I am from Europe and Hawaii seems such a dream for me so we got very excited!! We stayed in a hotel in Waikiki and we did the same things that people do in Hawaii. I am not going into details now! :) The photos were taken at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Oahu.
