This morning we got up early and picked up our beast of a rental car; a Chevrolet Tahoe. We then picked up Laurence, Corey and Kristy (friends we met on the cruise) and took a drive to Hanauma Bay on the south east of the island. The bay is a Nature Preserve and a Marine… Continue reading Hanauma Bay and Lanikai Beach

Outrigging on Waikiki Beach
We woke up this morning to another beautiful day in Honolulu, Hawaii. We grabbed some bodyboards and chairs from the hotel reception and headed over to Waikiki Beach. We spent the morning sunbathing, bodyboarding and watching the pro surfers launch past us! Part of the beach has a wall built across to break the waves… Continue reading Outrigging on Waikiki Beach
Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii
We arrived just after lunchtime in Honolulu after a relatively short 4 and a half hour flight from San Francisco. The weather was beautiful – mostly blue skies, with a dash of clouds and the temperature was 28C. After a quick stop at our hotel to drop off our bags, we headed straight for Waikiki… Continue reading Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii
Santa Monica and Hollywood
We had a late night last night so didn’t get up and out of the door until midday! Dannie took us to her favourite Dim Sum (Asian tapas) restaurant in town called Sea Empress which was really different to the typical Asian inspired food we get in the UK. The food was healthy, fresh and… Continue reading Santa Monica and Hollywood

It also has some historic caves that you can access via kayak tours. One of… Continue reading La Jolla Cove and Los Angeles

Last night when we arrived it was dark so we couldn’t see anything, we are right on the most beautiful beach, as stunning as beaches in the Caribbean. Golden white sand… Continue reading Beautiful Surprise in Pensacola
Jet Ski Tour at Bayside
Today we picked up the hire car that’s going to take us all the way to Texas over the next week. We had originally planned to get a Cadillac CTS, but they didn’t have any left, and so they gave us a Mercedes GLK 350 4MATIC instead. It’s not quite as cool, but it should… Continue reading Jet Ski Tour at Bayside
Miami Beach and the 24oz Steak
So it’s nearly 10pm local time, and we’ve just got back from the Palm restaurant which is adjoined to our hotel. For dinner I had the most amazing steak I’ve ever eaten – a 24oz rib eye (680 grammes – take a look at the photos!). It literally melted in my mouth! Actually, I probably… Continue reading Miami Beach and the 24oz Steak
