The first stop is to take a panoramic view of Oahu Island, and then head towards Diamond Mountain. Along the way, there are several scenic spots to stop and admire the sea. After passing through a tunnel, Diamond Mountain is right in front of us! If you don't want to go up the mountain, we just looked around nearby, then set the GPS for the next destination, Waikele Premium Outlets in Hawaii. When it comes to shopping, women are immediately excited! Shopping in Honolulu has begun! I bought in Beijing, in Honolulu, and later in the lovely island, in Seoul's Lotte Duty Free Shop, and at the airport duty-free shop. Our entire free travel itinerary includes more shopping than a guided tour! (smile) Because we are not just traveling, but also shopping. We not only buy things for our own home, but also bring a list for friends and family to shop for (laugh)!

Returning from dinner to the room, I found that I had spilled soup on my clothes during dinner. There is a self-service laundry here, so we also went to experience it. After washing the clothes, we came back and rested early. We are going to go out to sea tomorrow morning!

Day4. Today I woke up after 10 o'clock. When I arrived at the restaurant, breakfast was already over, so I just waited for lunch. I wandered around the hotel and saw two beautiful parrots and two swans. Then I went outside and walked by the sea. I didn't need an advanced camera to capture the beautiful scenery. I used a regular camera on a tripod with a time-lapse function to take a great photo of two people by the sea. I didn't need to bother anyone else to take the photo, and I could take it repeatedly until I was satisfied. The only problem was that the tripod I bought was of poor quality, so I need to get a better one when I go back.

After dinner, I returned to the drop-off point to wait for the hotel shuttle. Suddenly, I looked up and saw the moon in the sky, so big and round. I casually exclaimed, 'The foreign moon is really damn round!' My husband suddenly slapped my butt, and I explained that it wasn't because I felt superior after going abroad, but because I really felt that the moon here was bigger and rounder than the one in Beijing. My husband said that we are closer to the equator here, so in terms of distance, we are indeed closer to the moon, making it appear larger, which is not surprising. He slapped my butt because I used foul language. Okay, You are right! Later, we got on the shuttle and returned to the hotel. Today's itinerary is over!

In the evening, go to the sunset beach and Waikiki beach to watch the sunset. There are still couples taking wedding photos under the sunset, beautiful people and beautiful scenery. In the evening, go to Outback Steakhouse for steak. The location of Outback Steakhouse is right next to the Red Lobster we went to yesterday, love and kill each other! The steak is very well cooked and the price is not cheap, haha! I think this meal is the best one I've had in Honolulu. After dinner, return to the hotel and spend the last night in Hawaii in this high-end hotel. Tomorrow morning, goodbye Hawaii! Goodbye America!

Day7. Today, we departed for Pearl Harbor at eight in the morning. The indigenous Hawaiians call Pearl Harbor Wai Momi, meaning 'water that produces pearls,' as it used to be home to many pearl oysters. The indigenous people fished and dived here, believing that Pearl Harbor was a sacred paradise protected by their shark god. In 1887, the U.S. federal government obtained a patent to use Pearl Harbor, and from 1902, they began dredging the harbor. In 1908, the U.S. Congress designated Pearl Harbor as a U.S. naval base. The first U.S. warship to enter Pearl Harbor was the USS California, which sailed in 1911. Pearl Harbor is located in the eastern Pacific Ocean between Japan and the U.S. Hawaiian Islands, approximately 3,500 nautical miles from Japan and 2,000 nautical miles from the U.S. mainland, making it the most important base for the U.S. Pacific Fleet. In the early hours of December 7, 1941, over 300 aircraft launched from Japanese aircraft carriers descended upon Pearl Harbor. The hastily responding U.S. military suffered heavy losses, with 4 out of 8 battleships sunk, one grounded, and the rest heavily damaged; 6 cruisers and 3 destroyers were damaged, 188 aircraft were destroyed, and thousands of servicemen were killed or wounded. Japan only lost 29 aircraft, 55 pilots, and a few midget submarines. It was a devastating day in U.S. history. Today, Pearl Harbor serves as both a patriotic education site and an active base for the Pacific Fleet. On one side are the ships sunk by the Japanese, and on the other are the active-duty warships ready to go out and fight. We visited the USS Missouri, the largest battleship in U.S. history, where the unconditional surrender of Japan was signed during World War II. We also went inside the ship's cabin for a tour.

After getting off the plane and leaving Honolulu Airport, I took the rental car company's shuttle to the rental car company. This time I drove a red Nissan car. Set the GPS and head straight to the Temple Valley, still enjoying the beautiful scenery on the road, it feels great to have a smooth journey under the blue sky and white clouds. In the late morning, I arrived at the Temple Valley. The Temple Valley is hidden deep in the Windward Coast, nestled in the lush valleys of the Koolau Range, and is a resting place for many Hawaiians. The main attraction of the Temple Valley is the Japanese Buddhist temple called Byodo-In, which means

The most favorite toilet in the bathroom, washing and drying the buttocks is so enjoyable, I use it almost every day, it's so clean and comfortable, I originally wanted to install a bidet at home, but I was worried that my two naughty kids would destroy it, so I never bought it. Because of the time difference, Day 1 passed so long, I was tired, hungry, and it was already after 11 pm, time to take a shower and go to bed! Day 2. Grand Hyatt Resort, Lovely Island. Today I spent the whole day in the resort, the theme is sleep, eat, and relax. Because of the long international trip, the previous day was too long, I was really tired, and the big bed in the room was very comfortable, I slept soundly, and when I woke up, it was already noon of the second day. There was a big dinner at night, so I just had a light lunch, and then started to explore the resort happily. The area of the Grand Hyatt Resort is 6039 square meters, with over 600 rooms, it's really big, so big that I got lost in the hotel and spent a long time looking for my room. You can see the beach from inside the hotel, the beach has big waves and not many people swimming. There are many swimming pools inside the hotel, with cleverly designed shapes. And most importantly, I not only want to capture the charming scenery, but also my beautiful figure.

Day5. Today, we had a buffet breakfast at the hotel at 7 o'clock in the morning. We arrived early, and there were not many people eating. The breakfast we had for the past few days has been basically like this. After breakfast, we borrowed a car from the hotel to go sightseeing and drove up the mountain road to the top of the mountain. We enjoyed the picturesque scenery before it was shrouded in thick fog. On the way down the mountain, we stopped to admire the beautiful scenery wherever we found good views. We could also see helicopters hovering in the air. Along the way, we could see chickens everywhere on the road. The roosters were strutting around, and the hens were taking their chicks for a walk. There was an environmentalist who preached to tourists about the various misdeeds the U.S. government has done to the lovely island, such as conducting nuclear tests on the island and selling the already scarce water on the island to other places. As we drove further down the mountain, we got closer and closer to the sea!

The Waikiki Beach is a free public beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world. It runs from Kapiolani Park at the foot of Diamond Hill to the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor, spanning about a mile. It is the most vibrant and energetic beach in Hawaii and is considered the typical Hawaiian beach by most visitors. "Waikiki" means "spouting spring" in Hawaiian and is a beach full of energy and vitality, a must-visit destination for tourists in Hawaii. In the sunset, some people are strolling on the shore, some are surfing in the sea, some are taking wedding photos on the beach, and some are sitting by the roadside enjoying the beautiful scenery. Waikiki Beach at sunset is truly beautiful. Time flies when you are surrounded by beauty, and it is already past 7 PM. We still need to refuel at the gas station, return the rental car, and go to the airport to check in for the last flight of the day. We realize that we don't have time to eat, so we head straight to the airport. At the gas station, it is self-service with credit card payment. By the time we finish the check-in at the airport, it is already 8:03 PM, and we find out that all dining outlets close at exactly 8 PM. We have to board the plane on an empty stomach!

Entering the Byodo-In Japanese temple, you have to pass through a cemetery, where General Zhang Xueliang is buried after his death. Poor General Zhang Xueliang, who fought with the Japanese for a lifetime, is now buried next to them!The Byodo-In Japanese temple is a replica of a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan, and was built in 1968 without using a single nail. It was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.After leaving the temple valley, we headed to the city center.At noon, we went to Red Lobster for seafood. This restaurant was the most popular in Hawaii in 2014 and is also quite famous in the United States.We ordered a lobster and seafood platter, as well as a salad. I found it a bit salty, but my husband really liked it.After lunch around 13:00, we headed straight to Dinosaur Bay, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

After having lunch, I went back to the room to rest for a while, changed into a swimsuit, and went to the hotel pool to practice snorkeling. Our own snorkeling equipment is better. I also saw colorful fish and sea turtles, although they were just painted on the pool floor. I had a great time playing in the pool for half a day, and in the evening, I had a buffet at an abandoned sugar factory. The atmosphere was very special, and there was a passionate band performance. The beef tonight was delicious, and it was a relaxing and pleasant day.

I started to feel seasick, so I left the deck and went into the cabin to rest. I felt like I was going to vomit. Could it be that Xiaoshenyang was right? Is this really the feeling of facing the sea? I used to think that snorkeling was like this. In water that is more than one meter deep, I put on snorkeling gear and lay in the water to admire the colorful and cute little fish like Nemo. I thought I could stand up if there was a problem, but the reality was different. The boat was far from the shore and suddenly went down to a depth of several meters. I couldn't see the fish underwater, and they were all on the surface eating fish food. The fish were not beautiful, and there were only big rocks underwater, no coral reefs. I also encountered a leak in the life jacket and water in the mask. Finally, I was lifted onto the boat by my husband and the staff. It got worse later. While others finished snorkeling and started to have lunch on the boat, I kept vomiting and threw up all the breakfast. On the way back, while others were cheering, I was suffering. My husband endured his discomfort and took care of me. The long-awaited snorkeling trip ended like this! I couldn't even leave a beautiful image in my sexy bikini. What a pity! When the boat returned to the pier, I was still feeling dizzy. When I got off the boat, I saw two sea turtles on the sea surface. According to my husband, these animals in the sea probably have nothing to do every day and start to act cute when they see a boat or people. When we arrived at the hotel and got off the car, I was still feeling dizzy. I refused lunch and said I would go back to the room first. As a result, I got lost and wandered around the hotel corridor for a long time before finding our room. After my husband finished lunch and found that I was not in the room, he came out to look for me. When he saw me, he said that I should not be alone in the future, which made me feel very happy. After resting for the afternoon, we took the hotel shuttle to the town in the evening and had dinner. This is a picture of a common flower in Hawaii, often seen worn by staff and tourists. The logo of Hawaiian Airlines is a long-haired beauty with a flower behind her ear.

After passing through the immigration inspection and picking up our luggage, we left Honolulu Airport around 10 in the morning and took the shuttle bus from the rental car company to pick up the car. We had already booked the car model online and paid a $200 deposit at the rental car company. We smoothly drove out the first car we rented in Hawaii, a black convertible sports car. It feels like we're living the high life! My husband drove on the highway without encountering any traffic jams. Of course, there aren't as many cars here as in Beijing, the roads are wider, and the drivers are more law-abiding. We enjoyed the blue sky, white clouds, and the streets of Honolulu, feeling great! Gradually, the drawbacks of the convertible sports car became apparent. First, because the car's trunk had to accommodate the roof rack, we couldn't fit large suitcases in it. So, we had to put two suitcases on the back seat. While driving on the highway, I had to constantly turn around to check if our belongings were still there. The weather in Hawaii changes frequently, with occasional light rain and scorching sun. Without a roof to shield us from the sun and rain, we had to tough it out. On the first day, both of us got sunburned arms. Because of the high speed of the car and the loud wind noise, we had to shout to talk to each other, or else we couldn't hear. You might ask why we didn't put the roof on the car. Of course not, we wanted to experience this feeling. If we put the roof on, we might as well have rented a regular sedan from the beginning! We're just being willful like that!

From the flight to the lovely island of Lihu Airport in Honolulu, the flight took off on time, looking down from the plane, the night in Honolulu was really beautiful in the light. The sailing time was very short, just over half an hour, and only a small cup of juice was served on the plane. At 22:22 in the evening, after experiencing three flights and more than ten hours on the plane, we finally arrived at our final destination - the lovely island. After getting off the plane, the hotel shuttle personnel were already waiting at the airport. We took our luggage and got on the car, heading straight to the Hyatt Resort. In the lobby of the Hyatt Resort, the beautiful, majestic, and high-end feeling came to us. After my husband completed the check-in procedures, we entered the clean and tidy room, with a comfortable large bed and a huge wardrobe, which was pleasing to the eye. From tonight until Day 5, we will stay here for five nights.
