We had a really excellent time on vacation in Hawaii. The weather was awesome. I bought tons of magnificent souvenirs for people back home. We did amazing fun things there. I went scuba diving and I saw loads of unbelievable things underwater. My husband took a great number of pictures. He’s the best photographer I have ever seen. We ate the most gorgeous meal on a cruise ship on the last night. I would recommend traveling to Hawaii. It’s a wonderful place.

We had the best vacation in Hawaii. The weather was perfect, really spectacular. I bought a ton of exotic souvenirs for everyone I know. You wouldn’t believe how much fun we had.
The greatest experience of my life was when we went scuba diving. The coral and the fish are breathtaking. I was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It didn’t look real.
My husband took a thousand photographs. He’s such a spectacular photographer, he really should start working for a magazine.
Last night blew me away. We dined on board a cruise ship. The food just melted in my mouth. You have to go to Hawaii. It’s out of this world.
