Day 6.. My husband and I went searching for Paper Island because that was one of the places I wanted to go on our visit. Our wonderful GPS took us in circles all morning. We even ended up driving around Chinatown, and no scrapbook store in site. We eventually found the Honolulu store after making a few 360′s and wrong turns. It was a lot smaller than I imagined. After talking to the store manager, it turns out that this is their card and invitation location. The bigger store is actually in Waikiki (where I was at!) haha I had a great chat with the store manager though. Very friendly people. He even gave me a small tour of his store. Check out the clip.

After my scrapbook adventure, we headed over to meet my Twitter friend, Ryan at Nico at Pier 38 for a Tweetup! It was so nice to finally meet him and his friends (my new friends!)
We talked about all sorts of things, from cameras, to the best snorkeling spots, to iphones and web development. Loved it!
The funniest part was when we were all asking each other our Twitter names. And DragonAl said, it’s Dragonal, but no one follows me. And every whipped out their iphone and said, “we’ll take care of that!” LOL
Here’s a short clip of the Tweetup. I took while Hawaii was Qikking us.
Twitter friends at the Tweetup: Hawaii, PineappleJuice, Bytemarks, Tadasauce, NctrnlBst, JPhilipson, DragonAl, and I!
We had such a lovely 2-hour lunch. Too bad everyone had to get back to work! There was a Costco nearby, so we stopped by to see if they had any unique Hawaiian goodies. The fresh poke and other goodies were among the many unique things! Too bad we just had lunch.
I did find these sets of rubber stamps! I was pretty sure the mainland had them.. but didn’t want to risk not having them in case they didn’t. So I bought a set!
We went looking for the beach behind the Ko Olina Beach Resort. It’s in such a nice area! There’s not much parking, but we were lucky enough to find a spot. I really loved the chairs and umbrellas on the beach! There’s some great snorkeling spots as well. I just took it easy and relaxed here for a few hours. The sound of the ocean waves were so peaceful and the area is quite secluded.
It was close to 4:30pm, so we decided to start driving back. We stopped by the Ed & Don’s factory to get some candy, but they were closed. I figured the nearest Kmart may sell the candy, so we stopped there. Sure enough, there were rows and rows of this candy!
After shopping, we headed back to our Waikiki hotel and started packing our things. So sad to know we only have one more day here.
