Delayed entry...should have gone been posted on December 4th 2017.
As my year in Hawaii comes to a close...I wanted to share a few of my favorite places in O'ahu. People always ask me where to go or what to see when they are going to a place they know I have been or lived and putting it in my blog makes it easier to share and remember for that matter. So in case you are ever in Oahu and looking for a place to eat or get a drink my list should give a few ideas or places to start.
First off yes almost everything is more expensive but keep in mind 85% if not more of the items consumed are shipped in to the islands. If you are going to live here for any duration of time I recommend buying a scooter. There are some cheap Chinese models to choose from however I found a Yamaha on Craigslist for $1000 and sold it for the same price after owning it for 6 months. Loved being able to zip around and was a great option when my guests came to visit for a quick "scoot scoot" in and around town.
