Now that it’s October and it’s rainy season in Washington all I can dream about is my beach vacation. I love the sun, I live for the sun, my entire being relies on the sun. My personality changes whenever the sun comes out, I’m happy and my heart is warm. So I adore going to the sun as often as I can.

If you asked me where my dream vacation would be it would be Hawaii. We live in an area where people can actually afford to go on vacation often, and my husband and I we can’t afford to go as often, but all around me people are making plans to go to Hawaii. I want to go to Hawaii.

I hear it’s amazing, the temperature is moderate and the sun is out. I think it rains there too, but it’s not a constant overcast. The best part is the huge beach and beautiful ocean. The sounds of the waves relaxes me more than any other sound. Swimming is my favorite way to exercise and riding the waves in the ocean thrills me to no end. So, if money and time weren’t a restriction then this is what we would do.

I would go to Hotels.com. and check out the best way to find hotels, cars and flights because I’ve never been there before and I need some idea of where to stay and what a fair price would be. I love how reviews and package deals are included as search options.

Then I would have to figure out what I would do. I could spend every day at the beach drinking Long Island Tea, and watching the waves, but if we go all the way to Hawaii we’re going to have to do a few of the tourist traps. I would love to visit Pearl Harbor even though it would make me quite sad.  I’d also love to see a volcano up close in the National Park. I know we have volcano’s here but they are sleeping. It would be fun to see one active in Hawaii.

I’d also love to go snorkeling or scuba diving and would greatly enjoy taking in all the Hawaiian culture. Plus it would be so much fun to swim with the dolphins and collect sea shells with the kids. Yes, my dream vacation does include my husband and kids. Oh there is so much that I would love to do in Hawaii that I would need a vacation to rest after my dream Hawaiian vacation.
