Last Hawaii Photos, and hello LA

It’s been a couple of days since my last entry. We went to the Big Island of Hawai’i (also named Hawai’i) and the hotel only had wi-fi in the lobby so I spent my evenings in the pool instead of blogging. Sorry guys :P
Two days ago we arrived in Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. Felt a bit like coming home. Know this part of town like the back of my hand. It was on July 1st that my vacation really started haha Our schedule has been really busy but now dad and I are enjoying some down time. Today we went shopping. Bought some DVDs and clothes for Julia. They have so much cute stuff for little girls <3 Tomorrow is 4th of July. Dad and I have plans. We're going to the Farmers Market in the morning and in the evening we’re going to a 4th of July BBQ at our friends’ house.
Then one of the days I’m dragging dad to Disneyland. Other then that, no plans. Well, if you don’t count in going to the cinema and seeing ‘Toy Story 3′, ‘Shrek Forever After’ and ‘Sex and the City 2′ ;)


Have you ever seen a Dwarf Pineapple?

Aloha!

I’ve been enjoying a place called Hawai’i. I’ve been swimming, snorkeling, shopping, sightseeing. Just been having a nice time :)
We’ve been to PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) and to Paradise Cove Luau on O’ahu. We also flew to Lana’i and to Moloka’i. Tomorrow we’re flying to the Big Island of Hawai’i and staying in Hilo for a few days. After that it’s LA baby!


PCC shows you the culture of the islands of Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa, Aotearoa (New Zeeland) and Tonga

Mini roadtrip ;)

I’m in Waikiki,Hawai’i. I’ve just eaten breakfast and now Im waiting for the Pink Trolley to start so I can go to Alamoena Shopping Center. In the mean time I thought I’d upload the (silent) video I tried to save and upload yesterday before my program froze on me. We had a great time driving around. Got images of the Golden Gate Bridge and some clothes for Julia :)

Dad took a picture of me jumping

the san fransisco bay

I didn’t feel like posting last night. My dad had arrived and we got back to the hotel quite late so all I wanted to do was sleep :P
I went over to Alcatraz yesterday. It looked pretty much like it did the last time I was there a couple of years ago. Some things were different. I could venture out in the recreational yard this time. It was so windy out there. When I got past the walls and into the garden it was so beautiful. I got a magnificent view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Today I’m going to walk around Chinatown. Gonna buy Julia a cute chinese outfit. Similar to the one Alina got when she was a toddler but purple. Alina got a red one. I’m also going to get some photos of cable cars today if I can remember it. Tomorrow dad promised we could get a car and drive to Presidio and get close-ups of the Golden Gate and drive over it and up in the hills and get a city view with the Golden Gate.

hello san fransisco

I arrived in San Fransisco, CA on Saturday afternoon. Feels like it has been longer haha So far I’ve been walking around town (didn’t remember the streets being so steep!) and took the ferry to Sausalito. I’ve also gotten myself a nasty burn around my neck and on my arms. That’s what I get for wearing a dress.

Chinatown is like it always have been. I don’t think anything has changed since I was there last. Neither had Pier 39. Been eating there two days in a row. Love Luigi’s :) Today I’m gonna by myself a Mad Hatter hat at the pier. It’s so cool! Little bit brighter then the one in “Alice In Wonderland” but it’s awsome. Also on the itinerary today is Alcatraz. I’m gonna buy Julia one of those pretty back and white prison outfits. They had the cutest dresses in that pattern. The text on it reads – Rejected, Too cute.

end of the school year

This week has been busy busy. Been working a little but mostly seeing friends and spending time with my family. Tomorrow I’m going to pack my stuff that I’m bringing with me on holiday.
I’m halfway done with packing but I have a couple of stuff left – some clothes, my carry-on baggage (my cameras and laptop), toiletries, need to put some more music on my iPod. That kind of stuff :)

This evening we had Alina’s “school graduation”. She finished first grade and she sang songs together with her grade plus the second and third year students. I got to test my new camera on moving object. Have to say I prefer objects that stand still :P
