Hawaii - Day 7 - Polynesian Culture Center
Don't. Even. Get. Me. Started. The Polynesian Cultural Center rocked my freakin' socks off!
We started the day with a tour of the Dole Pineapple Plantation. I had no idea that pineapple's grew close to the ground on big spikey plant things. I have tons of photos and so when I put together the "Eddo's Super Freakin' Amazing Hawaiian Trip Journal" you WILL BE AMAZED.
For a late lunch we ate in the North Shore area at a restaurant called Rosie's Cantina - it was the bomb. Smothered chimichangas, Enchiladas Suizas, Quesadillas, and some of the freshest salsa I ever ate. We really did get three meals and share them - it ruled.
Then we ventured over to the Polynesian Cultural Center which is a lot like the Disney Land of Cultural Centers. 7 cultural islands were recreated - Fiji, Tahiti, Aetorea, Tonga, were among some of the cultures that were recreated. It was really spectacular and overall I think we took over 400 pictures today.

Tahitian Treat
After about 5 hours of shows and canoe rides we drove back to the North Shore and had pizza at a little hole-in-the-wall pizza joint called "Pizza Bobs". We had Barbecue Chicken pizza with fresh pineapples - it was tasty, not as good as the Mexican food we had for lunch, but tasty nonetheless.
There is way too much to talk about in a single postbut soon you will have more than you ever wanted to know.
Hugs and the Fijian word for today - Bula Vinaka - Live Long, Happy, Prosperous Lives...

Oh man...I am SOOOOO jealous right now:)
Are you sure those words are Fijan and not Vulcan? Sounds amazingly similar to "Live long and prosper"!
The Polynesian Cultural Center is definitely cool! And please tell me you got a Dole Whip at the Dole Plantation - they are the best! :) If not, you HAVE to get one before you leave! The pictures and stories are bringing back great memories - I'm jealous you are there!
That sounds awesome. I'm looking foward to seeing more pictures.
remember when that movie Blue Crush came out? About the surfer girls in Hawaii? After I saw that movie, I promised myself that I would move to the big island and become a surfer girl.
however, after seeing your picture of the Tahitian Treat, now I am promising myself to move to HI and become a dancer on a floating board in the canal.
That would be so cool.
Jes, FYI, that movie Blue Crush was actually shot on Oahu at the hotel that Austin and I stayed at on our honeymoon. :)
Oh how fun - I am itching to go on vacation....gee, wonder where I should head! :)
Robin knows Vulcan? Hmmmm.
wow, your trip has been awesome!!! You have been missed around here!
Where did you find it? Interesting read video editing programs
