Hawaii: Day 1 - Oahu

 Aloha! This is a super special set of blog posts and also a special trip because it’s our honeymoon! Due to Covid-19, we put our dream of a Bali getaway on hold and traded it for another remote island chain — Hawaii! We are so excited to be here and getting some R&R after our beautiful wedding celebration in Nashville!

I’m so tickled to share the Max planned our entire trip! From which islands, hotels, excursions, dinner spots— he’s the master planner and I couldn’t have found a better travel partner! 

Our first day we arrived in Oahu and got ourselves a bright red Jeep! We drove to the Queen Kapiolani hotel to drop our bags and then got ourselves some Dole Whip! We walked to the beach and found the cutest spot to get a drink and a little snack. 

We then walked along Kalakaua Ave (the first of many times!) to Duke’s for our dinner reservation. We booked this a month in advance, so if you plan to go, definitely reserve a table! It was DELICIOUS and our frozen drinks were spot on. Max had the mango ribs & I had the ahi tuna. It was the perfect way to fill our tummies and end our first day in Hawaii. 

Mahalo,

The new Allie Hopkins
