E komo mai! Hawaii is always a dream. I’ve only been three times in my life, but the Aloha spirit always keeps me wanting more.
This past July, I was able to go to Honolulu to celebrate my best friend’s Bachelorette party. Here are some of the places we really enjoyed.
Hope you check these places out on your next Oahu vacation!
