If there is a place in this world that I absolutely adore it would 100% be the Hawaiian islands. IMHO it is heaven on earth. What’s even more special is when you share paradise with your friends and their family and seeing the sun glow on their smiling faces as they dip their toes in the aqua blue water and frolick under the swaying palm trees. I met the O’Hares in Waikiki, Oahu – the Hawaiian city that holds a special place in my heart – right next to the Hilton Waikiki’s lagoon. If you only have time to stop in Oahu, Waikiki gives you everything you need – a gorgeous beach, tons of restaurants, shops, and mai-tai’s and of course the magnificent view of Diamond Head and cotton candy sun sets. I am so thankful the O’Hares got to experience all of that in the 2 days they were in town before their Hawaiian cruise departed and that we got to spend time with them soaking in the good vibes of Hawaii.
