Well, with more time comes more fun.

Well, let's start with Sunday since that was the day we took off for Hawaii and we'll figure everything else from there.

So after taking a shuttle to the airport and getting through security which blows, I can see why but they are just complete assholes. It would probably be a great job for me.

So while waiting for the plane we had a while to kill and besides Ahad's "I like Nuts!" comment it was mostly uneventful. We played "Big 2" to kill the time. Finally after boarding the plane we had a row of three to the left and Matt sat on the right in the aisle seat. The plane experience was kind of a pain in the ass. First off, Ahad kept spitting on me. Since I couldn't move I just had to kind of deal with it and yell at him. Watching The Office on the plane was nice but the movie "Fool's Gold" well that blew a big one.

Although on the plane since the food is not free besides like a little bag of pretzels we brought food on board. Well Jared brought this type of granola bar and I guess it was a mixed nut bar. Well Ahad struck again.

"Wow! That was like an explosion of nuts in my mouth!"

So I guess you can make your own joke there.

After the flight was over and the fun ended we landed in Honolulu. Aloha!

Got the taxi and headed to our hotel the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We had a little but of a snafu but in the end we got the room and headed down to the beach. The views are just amazing, and it helps when it's a 3 minute walk to the beach.

The next morning it was really our only day without a tour so we headed down to the beach. The application of sun screen became very important and so we did that first and then headed down to the beach. We took a couple of photos and here is one

Now the next photo is Ahad's brilliant planning. Instead of asking the normal looking people to take a photo he grabs the person that looked like a hobo, I guess because of that we lost Jared in the photo.

Blame Ahad. We did.

After that we did a couple of things like go eat and so forth but nothing really amazing. We did drink though!

Ahad didn't drink he just took a photo op with Moose Head!

Moving on to Tuesday we had quite an early wake up as we decided to visit Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Missouri. I thought this would probably be one of the most interesting trips that we took this week. To see where 1177 U.S. Service Men lost their lives for their country was an amazing site.

For anyone that has seen the video it really is an amazing piece of American History. When the U.S.S. Arizona was bombed it just happened that a camera was positioned on the Arizona so I believe the footage I posted above was the actual footage of the Arizona's final moments. When it was hit the bomb actually went into the armory which became the perfect shot. Since 1941 the Arizona is still leaking Oil which creates a glow on the water. Here are a couple photos.

More later.

More from Hawaii

Hello, everyone. I finally was able to get time and purchase the internet for an hour.

So it has been an interesting couple of days for the most part. All of my other posts have been from my iPhone which for some reason does not work too well with blogger so hence bad spelling and the longer post took me an hour over a period of four hours. It was a pain in the ass.

Para sailing is fun! So we went para sailing yesterday and it was a blast, here are some pictures from mine and Jared's journey. At the end they "Dip" you in the ocean just as a little hahaha. Well Matt and Ahad got dipped to their waist. Here is our "Dip"

So according to Ahad and Matt who were on the boat at the time of us dropping out of the sky like a rock, the driver of the boat said. "I don't know why they dropped so fast, that wasn't supposed to happen." It hurt that's for damn sure.

We also did a lot of other things that have been interesting and I will do more updates later mostly when I get home because I don't know how many hours of internet I want to buy.

Here are some other good pictures from our trip.

Monday fun!

So far we have had a good time spending some time in the sun.  Early in the morning we decided to go to the beach and test the water.  It was a little cold to start but it was fun.  What was interesting to me was that even after swimming a good 50 feet we were still able to stand in the water which was different.  After that we took our next little bit to relax.   More later.  So after we decided to get something to eat today and went to a place called todaitoday which was a buffet that was across the street from our hotel.  It was enjoyable and for the price it was well worth it.  So the next thing was we decided to lounge at the pool.  I fell asleep and had a nerfnerd football thrown at me.  Sometimes it happens but the nap was worth it.

We made it to Hawaii.

Well we made it to Hawaii and this place is just amazing.  Updates may not come as quickly as iI would like as the internet is $8 per hour.  This post is from my iphone and it is really slow to type on here.  The hotel is amazing and located like ten feet from the beach.  That will be all for now I will try to find better internet
