Diamond Head Another day in Honolulu! After waking up and getting ready we made our way to Diamond head. While the plan was to wake up earlier and try to get to the top to see sunrise, we took our time getting ready and only arrived to start our ascent. The problem with arriving at this time is it starts to get busy and temperatures start to rise. We started our ascent and stopping for photos...

Travelling Minion in 2019

Wow, I'm a little ashamed to be writing this in the middle of January. I was so on the ball last year, that I feel the need to start this off with an apology! While I did get to travel a good amount in 2019, I was very suspect in posting about it. As can be evidenced by the fact I'm still writing about Hawaii in May! I'm not entirely sure why, all I can say is that life got really busy for me in...

First Days in Hawaii

Funkycat and Vino had already left on earlier flights to Hawaii. So, Lebron, Antetokounmpo, Cactoose and I met at the airport to start our journey. I was only able to get Cactoose into the Plaza Premium lounge this time, so we quickly grabbed a snack and some drinks to share with Lebron and Antetokounmpo. We boarded our flight and I was lucky enough to snag an exit row seat which meant I had a...
