Hawaii 2007

My adventures in Hawaii took my from the Big Island to Oahu... ATVing through the set of LOST (yes I'm a huge fan) swimming in a waterfall pool after a hike, eating berries from a tree, walking on lava flow, on beautiful beaches. Hawaii is absolutely gorgeous. Its a fascinating thing to go from the jungle to lava as far as you can see to lush mountaints then to gorgeous beaches. A must see! Now I only have one state left to visit then I will will have seen the entire U.S.!!! I need to see Alaska...

Now back to LOST... man oh man...if you are a fan..YOU NEED TO VISIT THE SET its so gorgeous. I took an ATV ride right through where they filmed and was able to see all the beautiful nature you get to see in the show! You see how they filmed the cave and jungle scenes, and also the golf course where Hurley played! I can see why many of the actors chose to buy a house here...I certainly would if I could afford it! Hawaii...makes NYC look cheap haha

Its amazing to see what the lava flow has done to each island.
I walked through a lava tube..which is actually a tunnel underground that was created by the hot lava flow. You can actually walk through the lava tube!
I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village...it was quite extraordinary... Oh and at the 2nd Hilton, you actually had to take a boat to get to your hotel room! I got to swim with a dolphin which was quite amazing because the creature was like feeling a rubber tire!
I'd like to go back and see some of the smaller islands because I hear they are even more beautiful. I would recommend this trip, but remember that the beaches are public, so dont waste your money on the fancy hotel...since you wont be spending much time in your room! Renting a car is a must! Driving around the island and exploring will really give you a better feel of what its like to live there.
