Hawaii

Spent the night at the International Terminal of LAX which was quite nice for an airport apart from I did not get any sleep and it was freezing...the only good point was watching someone wake up and realize he was about to miss his flight and rush to get to the gate.Check-in took forever but we got to see some fit high school cheerleaders which is always nice!When we touched down we went straight to Waikiki beach, about half an hour from the airport, which was a very nicer and hotter version of the Costa del Sol.Spent a night here before going to the North Shore where the big waves were; we stayed on an old plantation and chilled on the beach,played some American football and got destroyed by some 20 foot waves in which I swallowed about 3 litres of sea water!The next morning we headed back to Waikiki and went to a better hostel and headed to Pearl Harbour.This was interesting as I knew nothing much about it and we went to the USS Arizona which was a boat sunk in the attacks but sticks out of the water and now serves as a memorial.Had a pretty quiet night as we were flying out in the morning.Got to the airport at 7am and found out our flight had been moved back after originally being brought forward,so we had to kill 14 hours pretty much, but this did turn out to be a really good day of just eating,going on the internet and sitting on the beach!Our flight was at 1235am on April 7th and because of the date line we only existed for an hour of that date,which I still can't really get my head round.Hawaii was wicked for the time we were there and the weather was awesome but I do want to go back there and explore it more and go to the other islands as we only stayed on Oahu.
