Oahu, Hawaii - part 1

Aloha everyone! For spring break we made the long long journey down to Hawaii and what a trip we had. We landed in Oahu in the afternoon.. we picked up our car and headed over to our hotel in Waikiki and started to unwind.  OÊ»ahu, known as "The Gathering Place," is the third-largest Hawaiian island and home to roughly 70% of the state's population.

Sunday morning we landed Lima but we were nowhere close to our destination. We had a sit down breakfast at the airport while we waited for our next flight and then we were off to Cusco. Two hours later we got into a taxi and made our way over to Ollantaytambo just another short two our drive away.. don't ask me much about it since we slept through most of it. That was a lot.. I know. Not let me explain the why. Altitude sickness is a real problem when visiting Peru. We heard stories from many fellow travellers who did not take the time to acclimate properly and found part of their travelling party sick as dogs and missing out on the whole trip as they wer...
