honolulu

i arrived in Oahu yesterday! we are staying at the Aqua Bamboo on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu... they messed up our rooming situation & we had to stay in a different room than planned last night so we get free 1hour massages here :) my mom and i walked down to the beach last night and saw the sunset... honestly, i can't even believe i will be here for the next year!!!

apparently there is a surfing competition going on, which really makes me want to learn how to surf! there were tons of boards out on the beach, and i've seen several surfers walking down the streets with their boards :)

today i went to the UH Manoa campus and got my ID, bus pass, and dining plan. i'm officially a UHM student :D

we got everything fixed with our hotel and we are now in our originally planned room... the PENTHOUSE!! (only because my mom is a travel agent & getting a super deal)! we have our own jacuzzi and sauna, which i will definitely be using.

we have our own deck that goes all the way around our room so we can see the ocean and the city. i love it here!!!

the hotel pool is really cute, so i thought i'd take a picture :)
