Polynesian Cultural Center

Laie, Oahu, Hawaii

Whenever we go to Oahu we always go to the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) if nothing else to support them for the great work they do! They not only share their cultures with us, they give scholarships to the students at Brigham Young University Hawaii, allowing them to work at the PCC and earn money for their education. What a great thing! Now, I haven’t even mentioned the shows, the delicious food and of course, the fantastic night show! We had a grand time!

Samoa is one of my favorite villages to visit at the Polynesian Cultural Center, though I have a lot of favorites! It’s fun and entertaining and the perfect place to put my feet up and RELAX!!

Of course, my favorite village to visit at the Polynesian Cultural Center is New Zealand, my home land! We had a fun time watching their program, practicing the POIS, getting ‘tattoos’ and I found the perfect spot to RELAX!

Another thing you have to do when on the island of Oahu, is go to Giovanni’s for the best shrimp ever! YUMMY!! After a delicious lunch, I found a great place to put my feet up and RELAX!

Calm & Peaceful

Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii

After finding ‘My Beach’ or ‘Secret Beach’ as it is known by locals, I had to sit and RELAX by these rocks covered with algae. Notice how calm the water is here, unlike ‘My Lagoon’. Here, it is so calm & peaceful!

Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii

The other day I was at ‘My Lagoon’ relaxing as I read a book. I noticed some people had followed me to ‘My Lagoon’, they stayed around for a while and then they left, but they didn’t leave the way they came. They climbed up some rocks, about 15′ high and then walked across the top of them, turned a corner and disappeared. Some time ago, I had seen some other people do this, so I decided that this time I would follow them. Up I went and carefully I walked across the rocks and as I turned the corner I was surprised at what I saw, a secret beach, (which I have since found out the locals call it) that is beautiful! Yesterday, I took my family there and for most of the time, we were the only people on this beach, it is now known to us as ‘Nonni’s Beach’. Oh, by the way the snorkeling is great!
