Jason and I decided to honeymoon in Oahu and enjoyed every second of it! We stayed in both spectrums of the island while we were there: Waikiki for five nights and North Shore for two nights. It is an amazing island and I couldn't get over the many facets it has to offer. One second you can be at the beach in Kailua and not even 20 minutes later, up in the jungle-like mountains. The water is always warm, the weather is never bad, and the culture and food is awesome! It's a breathtaking place and I would recommend anyone to visit if they are given the opportunity!
I'm providing a picture description of our stay, it makes it much easier, less to read and better to look at! We can't wait to go back one day!
