This past thursday (the 23rd of August) was my 17th birthday. For that amongst other reasons, my mum took me on a 2-day trip to Hawaii. It wasn't very long but they were two of the most wonderful days and we managed to do a lot. We stayed in Waikiki and spent our time shopping at Ala Moana and the International Market. We also hiked up Diamond Head and went to the beach. Hawaii was beautiful and a great deal of fun!
