I went swimming with the fishes on thursday. I saw lots and lots of colourful fishes. I also saw five sea turtles. It was awesome.
I am not sure, however, whether I saw a humuhumunukunukuapua'a.
I went snorkelling in Hanauma Bay. If you are ever in Oahu, it is a must see and do. The beach is way, way better than Waikiki, in my opinion. There are hunky lifeguards and plenty of eye candy. A yummy Japanese (I think) guy stripped off next to me in the toilet changing area. I looked. Very nice.

It was my very first time to go snorkelling. I was nervous because I am not a swimmer. For that reason, I had signed up with a snorkel tour company. It was money well spent. The guide literally held my hand the entire time. That allowed me to concentrate on breathing and taking in the glorious spectacle below and all around me. Thankfully, the three girls who were on the tour with me did not need much supervision so the guide could devote his attention to my survival. No, he was not a hunk.
I had bought an inexpensive camera so that I could record the experience for myself. I snapped away quite merrily through the two tours the guide led us on all the while thinking that I would not know how well the camera worked until I got back to my room and downloaded the pics. And so it was only when I got back to my room. That I discovered that I had forgoten to install the microSD card. I have no pics of my own.
And that's why I am not sure whether I saw a humuhumunukunukuapua'a; I have no way to check.
I do have memories of a terrific experience, though.
