Top Ten Things To Do In Hawaii

I’m going to Hawaii on Monday. It’s a belated honeymoon. My husband and I got married 10 years ago and we couldn’t afford one. Plus I was seven months pregnant.

I probably won’t be online all next week. I have not died. I’m in Hawaii sipping a tropical drink.

I will be updating my Twitter account. You can follow me here.

Here are the top ten things I hope to accomplish in Hawaii:


10. Find all the places were Lost was filmed and re-enact different scenes from the program.


9. Pig out on fresh pineapple. FRESH. One of our tours is to a pineapple farm.


8. Fall asleep on the beach.


7. Say “aloha” to perfect strangers.


6. Eat pig cooked on a spit. I think we’ll be doing this at the Luau.


5. Try on a grass skirt and attempt to hula dance. In our hotel room. I will NOT go on stage and do this. I will look like I’m constipated.


4. Find an actor from Lost who still lives in Hawaii. I know the guy who played John Locke is still there. I promise I won’t call him Locke. Unless he says I can.


3. Capture a ghost on film. We’re going on a ghost tour. I’m so going to pull a Zak Bagans and be like, “Tom. Go stand alone in that haunted room.”


2. Drink several tropical beverages. Tom has never seen me drunk before. Actually, now that I think of it, I’ve never seen him drunk either. We’re not big drinkers. This should be fun.


1. Tell someone, “Nice lei,” and try to keep a straight face.

  6. Do NOT forget macadamia nuts. Also, bring back an evil tiki idol. . . like the Brady Bunch kids did in that one episode.

  7. Don't buy the pineapple at the Dole Plantation - it's super expensive! Head to the local grocery store or commissary and get it for $2.50. Ah, I miss the pineapple when we lived there.

    I never saw a Lost actor, but I did see Scott Caan from Hawaii 5-0. He walked right past me on the beach and we made eye contact!

    The luau pig is AWESOME.

    They say aloha alllll the time.

    You have FUN!

  13. I love LOST series, tho I was late coming to the party as I just saw the entire seasons last year. So jealous!! Have so much fun drinking, reenacting Lost and dancing.

  14. Wait: no matter what Jim said above, do NOT bring back an evil Tiki doll. Don't you remember what happened to Greg Brady when he went surfing? But please do drink many umbrella drinks, then film a blog series of your recreated scenes from Lost. Who wouldn't want to see that? You'd go viral, baby. Have a great time!

  21. AWESOME! Have a blast! We snorkeled every day because it's CHEAP and because you can get a great tan on just your back. My thighs were so tan that year. On the backs. The front, not so much.

    Muy jealous.
