We went to Hanauma Bay again today and it was great. It took me time to walk going down the beach (me being pregnant) but it was worth it. Just take a look at these unedited pictures :)

It really is beautiful back there :-) . So whenever you want to visit Honolulu, Hawaii; do not forget to snorkel at Hanauma Bay. Your hotel can direct you on how to visit the place, if not, drop me a line and I will give you the direction and tips :) .

Some fishes that my husband was swimming with in Hanauma :-) . FYI, we do not know the name of each fishes so we only call them “the fish” :-D

Let’s go to Outer Banks!

Where did you go in your last summer vacation? If you’re asking about my family, we didn’t go on any place since we are everyday on a ‘vacation’ lol, we live in Hawaii and we make sure that every weekend we go to the beach and do something enjoyable for the whole family.

Anyway, enough of talking about me, let’s talk about Outer Banks vacation rentals that features different homes that we can rent for a family gathering, getaway or family and friends vacation.

I would love to go there if given a chance. It would be an awesome vacation since our relatives mostly live in the mainland. It would be cheaper if we’ll be the one to fly back to the mainland than all of them going here in Hawaii. Plus the rental houses features amenities that’s superb and would definitely bring comfort to all of us.

How I wish I’ll get an opportunity to visit the place!

Snorkeling at Sharks Cove!

snorkeling @ sharks cove

Hawaii really is beautiful!

It’s not just because of the highly publicized tv ad commercial that you can see on tv most of the time but because it really is beautiful. We’ve been living here for a year now and we never skip a weekend that we do not go to the beach. We snorkel, we boogie board ( I mean my husband since I can’t because I’m pregnant), we go crabbing, fishing and just about anything that you can do on the beach. You just can’t get enough of the blue ocean and the white sands.

Not to mention the beautiful weather and the warm water!

snorkeling at sharks cove, Hawaii

Take a look at these pictures we took last weekend. These were taken from Shark’s Cove in North Shore. Sharks Cove is one of the many snorkeling sites that you can visit in Oahu. I think the most famous one is Hanauma Bay. Sharks Cove’s fishes are not as big as the ones in Hanauma but there are plenty and of different kinds to swim and enjoy with, so it really doesn’t matter. Plus if you are a tourist, you pay an entrance fee in Hanauma Bay while  it cost nothing in Sharks Cove. Just pack your snorkeling gear, take your gps with you and drive to Sharks Cove. (more…)

Northshore, Oahu, Hawaii

The beautiful Waimea Park shoreline @ North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii

What a beautiful scenery last sunday!

That’s how we (basically) spend our weekends (lol), roaming around Honolulu particularly on the Makai (beach) side of the island. Lately, we’ve been visiting the Northern part of the island which they called the windward side. They call it windward because it is where the wind comes.

While there is a windward side, the other side of the island where  the wind leaves, is called  the Leeward side. Windward usually experience moderate to heavy rains while leeward is a little dry.  (more…)
