    How do y'all feel about Hawaii ??

    Really considering it
    Going to Hawaii was not only life changing to me.................lx2095e8kf75.gif


    I never knew it was places like that in the world where it is always paradise. Not too hot, Never too cold. Hell even rainy days were good.

    What's it to get into out there?

    For me, I ran a 8mile race out there from Wiakiki to the stadium. Then we hit the Northshore for shrimp and sight seeing. We also hiked all the mountains around from Diamondhead to KoKo Crater. WE hit damn near every strip club on the island. It was okay given I live in the ATL. WE hit the Disney resort and did 3 luaus. Two were free because of timeshares we did. I was there for a month working so. I think I did everything on Oahu almost.

    Love the island



    Next time also go snorkeling at Sharks Cove and at Hanauma Bay. Most beautiful places to snorkel and you are likely to swim with turtles there

    Spend more time North shore .....especially LaniKai but don't boat out to Chinamans Hat. You could get stuck there because if the current ....so I've been told

    I have yet to se a luau at a resort. My girl lived at the tip of Eva Beach. So we would see them practice every night at the park next door to her. Locals will tell you to skip the fake luaus lol

    Hang at Sandy Beach ....Obamas fav spot. If he is there you will find him here

    Eat some malasadas at Leonard's and Shave Ice at Matsumoto

    And hike to see some waterfalls at Waimea Falls or Manoa Falls ....beyond beautiful


    Also just a tip ...buy your souviners at the swap meet at the stadium. Super dirt cheap prices for the same things on the island. It's open on Wednesdays and Saturdays


    @808HiLife808 is our local Hawaiian. He can give you lots of local style things and places to see

    Pretty much..

    hanauma is cool, and youll prob see a turtle, but the moment one shows up its gonna be 47 people swarming it.

    Lanikai is on the east side, and it gets crowded af now because its on all those travel destination things. You caaan go to China mans hat or even the mokus off kailua, but yea the currents can get sketchy.

    Lol @ the luaus

    Sandys..gotta be careful. Super easy to end up getting stretchered out of there lol. That shore break can be no joke.

    Those falls are cool, and pretty easy to get to without really getting ? . There are other nicer ones tho.

    You can get some decent shave ice in town without having to go up north shore for matsumotos.


    Yup @ swap meet. ? , even walmart lol

    Florence, Italy I could flood this thread but I wont. I took alot of pics.

    Florence had some of the worst customer service. Them mfer have no customer service skills. The panhandlers were horrible. I hate to say it......................there were our African brothers. They made it damn near unbearable. Would I ever go back? Let me see how Milan is rocking with the fashion. Cause Florence had some awesome men boutiques.

    Next time we go to Italy. It will be Milan and Venice.

    What about Rome though?

    thinking one of the following places for the time period after xmas but before new years

    Ecuador
    Panama
    Belize
    Costa Rica

    any suggestions? I dont speak spanish too well either so im looking for a spot where the language barrier aint too tough. Rollin dolo

    You talking about next Christmas? You kinda late homie.

    If the flight don't get you...the last minute hotel might.

    But most places will help you out with language if you try first...an most want to practice their english...but that's in tourist sections.

    Think ima go ahead and try Panama out.. any of yall ever been? Suggestions for things to do aside from seeing the canal?

    Pics from Kuala Lumpur.

    The conversion rate is good so you can get a 4-5 star hotel for cheap. Only paid $54/night for my 4-Star hotel.

    Getting around not as easy. It’s like they build the roads first and the sidewalks were afterthoughts.
