The Real Hawaii

So yesterday, our first day here was certainly nice, so don't get me wrong. But... Waikiki, as nice as it is (and I certainly appreciate being close to the ocean), just wasn't the Hawaii I've always imagined. This morning however, we went to check out Hanama Bay. It's closed on Tuesday (important to know) so we went driving a little further and found what we've been looking for. Beautiful roads and volcanic ledges with lush green mountains right there. It was amazing. I feel like I've now seen the beauty of Hawaii.
I'm sure we'll see more, but we're headed in to meet with people at the U of H about possible accomodations. We're looking for nice, but not a resort.
More to come...
