ALOHA! We finally arrive in Hawaii, on the 11th of October 2011. From the plane we could see one of The Hawaiian Islands called Oahu.
The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago of eight major islands:
Niihau (The Forbidden Isle)
Kauai (The Garden Isle)
Oahu (The Gathering Place)
Molokai (The Friendly Isle)
Lanai (The Pineapple Isle)
Kahoolawe (The Target Isle)
Maui (The Valley Isle)
Hawai’i (The Big Island)
We arrived in the island of Oahu and stayed there for three weeks.
Oahu is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands. The capital of Oahu is Honolulu where the airport is located.
From Honolulu we went straight away to the North Shore where the biggest and most famous waves of the world are.
Pearl Harbor, known to Hawaiians as Puʻuloa, is a lagoon harbor on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941, brought the United States into World War II.

First thing we did as we got to the North Shore was to check the waves, of course! And the first one was pretty easy to recognize, despite there was no sign: Pipeline, a dream coming true!
