Monday holidays are a wonderful thing. You get an extra day to your weekend and get to put off dealing with the business of the week for one more day. Its as though the universe is saying, hey, here is a bonus for working so hard lately! This past Martin Luther King day my roommate Josh and I headed to Honolulu. Its his first semester so he had yet to visit Aloa Moana. I love shopping, probably too much. So a trip to the mall is a good time for me. Aloa Moana might just be the biggest mall I have ever been to. Its similar in style to the new City Creek mall in Salt Lake, but its just way bigger. Most of the stores are so nice it may feel like its too expensive to breathe in there! But there is still plenty of stuff you can do there on a budget. Some cool, unique stuff can be found there as well such as the Lego and Disney stores. Walking around the Lego store was a neat way for us to relive our childhoods a bit, although I think they are much more expensive there than they would be elsewhere.
The bus to town is a bit of an ordeal though. The ride down was so packed I was standing for a good portion of the time. The way back was much less busy, and we got to sit and relax. I had an "I can't believe I live in Hawaii" moment when I looked out the window and saw just the beautiful ocean before me. I love riding on Kam highway because it just runs right along the ocean. What a wonderful view! I mean, taking public transportation is not something everyone wants to do, but a view like that sure makes it better.
