We took a little detour to Hawaii before Taipei for our honeymoon. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We both wish we would have stayed for longer but there is always next time! The beach water was soo clear and warm and it was sunny out for all 5 days so we were extremely lucky! The first day we were there we got in at about 2pm so we just laid on the beach and wandered around the massive hotel. The second day Chris and I went skydiving (he bought that for me for my birthday :) The only skydiving place was in the North shore on the opposite side of the island so we decided to rent a car for the day and drive around the whole island. The skydiving place was super busy so the 30 minute wait they told us we had quickly turned into 4 hours. Ahhh! We were definitely getting restless by the time they strapped us up. Coming down was worth it though for the view. Beautiful shore and mountain views! We also walked around Waikiki's main town and looked at all the shops and fun things going on, watched a fireworks show on the beach, took paddle boards and floatys out on the water, and went to a luau. Oh yeah, and CHRIS GOT SOO BURNT! He hurt to the touch it was so bad. But we will definitely be going back again. We were sad to leave but excited to see what we had in store.
