Hawaii Trip – Day 8
Thursday, January 11th, 2007 :: 11:53 pm
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, sorry! It took longer than expected after each day in Hawaii, and right after I came back, lots of “start of school term” things to take care of :-P
Here’s day eight, January 1! From what I remembered it was quite a relaxing new year’s day, just taking in different views of the city!
Starting the trail up to Diamond Head, top of Honolulu!

Haha Chord, we went to a lot of “non-standard” Hawaiian places this time, botanical gardens, parks, etc.
