Transcript
0:03
welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:03
wearing an appropriate piece of headwear
0:07
for my last official full day in Hawaii
0:12
staying at Aulani my mom has been here
0:15
with me as well for just a little bit
0:16
over a week in fact I have seven
0:20
wristbands that are for DVC members now
0:24
there are wristbands for those who are
0:25
staying in the hotel that are not part
0:27
of Disney Vacation Club but these are a
0:29
little bit different I was told there
0:31
are 15 different colors of these
0:33
different Hues not different colors 15
0:36
different bands that you can get if you
0:39
do a 15 day stay I did not do a 15-day
0:41
stay not this time maybe in the future
0:44
today I'm going to be roaming around and
0:47
checking out some areas of the resort I
0:49
have not seen yet has been a very very
0:51
active tenure in our stay here in Oahu
0:55
Hawaii so much in fact that we really
0:58
have not spent a whole heck of a lot
1:00
time during the day at the resort the
1:03
first day we did
1:05
and today we are my mom is already down
1:08
in the pool or The Lazy River or
1:11
possibly one of the many hot tubs
1:15
there's one hidden over here
1:17
she is going to spend the day
1:19
in the Sun
1:21
and I'm going to meet up with her a
1:22
little bit later but I'm going to peruse
1:23
around some things I have not seen in
1:26
this neck of the woods including walking
1:29
over to some shops over there and some
1:32
other things I'm inviting you to join me
1:35
on my last and final day
1:39
vacation mode in Hawaii with my mom and
1:43
myself it has been fun
1:45
got my wristbands here join me
1:48
shall you so you can see there are seven
1:52
here one two three four five six seven
1:57
there's a blue one down in there one two
1:59
three four five six seven
2:04
now the green you see there's also a
2:06
black one there and a blue one there
2:10
even though the greens are a little bit
2:12
different Hue and the reds are a little
2:15
bit different here more of a pinkish
2:16
shoe I wonder if anyone's ever got all
2:19
15 on the on the forearm that would be
2:24
pretty heavy also as the recording of
2:26
this it is Monday October 2nd
2:29
two thousand
2:31
twenty three
2:33
and be a total I believe of nine days so
2:36
I got seven wristbands for the pool but
2:37
didn't hit the pool the first day
2:38
because we got in later in the day it
2:40
will not be hitting the pool tomorrow
2:42
because we are flying out really
2:46
for real here this right here this is a
2:47
Lonnie right here with the rainbow over
2:49
the top of it
2:50
yeah flying out really really early in
2:53
the morning
2:54
and just to clarify you don't have to
2:57
wear Every Day's wristbands each one
2:59
color is for each particular day but I
3:01
think it's kind of a win in Rome and a
3:03
rite of passage moment to wear all of us
3:04
see how the people do it I think it's
3:06
kind of a neat idea to just have all the
3:08
wristbands from your stay on top of that
3:10
well not on top of there but you know on
3:13
my forearm I don't know why I said on
3:15
top of there but you get the idea and I
3:17
should also mention this will not be the
3:19
only time I will be staying here I am a
3:21
Disney Vacation Club member and I did
3:23
buy points to this Resort I didn't buy
3:26
them while I was here I bought them
3:27
before coming here so if I wanted to
3:29
come here every year I could or I could
3:31
Bank the points which is basically
3:33
stockpile them year to year and have
3:35
double the points every two years so at
3:38
least I could come here every year or if
3:40
I wanted to every other year so I will
3:42
be back in doing other Adventures as
3:44
well this particular trip
3:46
was mostly about being here with my mom
3:48
a little family time her first time at
3:50
Aulani my first time in Hawaii
3:53
and did a lot of touristy stuff did not
3:55
Island hop and did not do a lot of the
3:58
deep cut stuff a lot of the local stuff
4:00
did a lot of the touristy stuff and the
4:02
reason for that
4:03
is because I was with my mom and we
4:05
wanted to see a lot of that stuff and I
4:06
wanted to get the touristy places out of
4:10
the way for future visits here
4:13
you know I'll still do some touristy
4:15
stuff but this one this one was pretty
4:17
heavy on that type of
4:19
those type of Adventures
4:21
but over time
4:23
you know in years from now
4:26
good Lord good Lord willing and the
4:27
creek don't rise I'll be able to check
4:29
out a lot more of the local stuff and
4:31
Island hop a lot more so I just wanted
4:33
to put that out there a little warm out
4:34
today very beautiful some clouds in the
4:36
sky but no precipitation the weather's
4:39
been really good for us while we've been
4:41
here the technical name of this
4:43
community in town is coalina
4:45
k-o-o-l-i-n-a
4:53
the railroad tracks here I talked to a
4:53
gentleman who works cast member he was
4:55
saying there's a tour that starts about
4:57
15 minutes from here so you cannot board
5:00
the train here but there is an active
5:02
train that goes around koalina on the
5:06
island of Oahu one of the many islands
5:09
here in Hawaii
5:12
this is my first time going to this
5:14
little section whoa must be Burt
5:16
Reynolds or something
5:17
that's a quote from Happy Gilmore fish
5:19
too enough
5:26
it's pretty neat being here my first
5:27
time in Hawaii because I've seen a lot
5:29
of places that have Hawaii in the names
5:30
you know like Honolulu Surf Company
5:33
or Honolulu Honolulu Honolulu Surf
5:37
Company
5:38
but it hits differently when you're in
5:40
Hawaii and I have heard good reviews
5:42
really good things from a lot of people
5:44
about this place monkey pod kitchen will
5:47
not be eating there this time we still
5:49
have food left over my mom's a big
5:51
advocate of going to the grocery store
5:52
and stockpiling and doing stuff like
5:54
that and eating not eating out every
5:56
meal but I think I am going to have a
5:58
Dole Whip today and I'm gonna have a
6:00
shave ice in the shape of a Mickey we
6:03
laid out a little bit we did the luau we
6:05
did some other things but we still got
6:06
food at the room so we won't be won't be
6:08
eating out a big a big meal today very
6:11
popular stores in this area are owned
6:13
but I'm guessing by ABC Liquor it's our
6:16
liquor bottles right there
6:19
island country markets by ABC stores
6:23
where I'm familiar with ABC Liquors with
6:25
just the liquor store but it really is
6:27
an entire
6:29
Country Market with all kind of items
6:31
you can get souvenir Goods at less than
6:34
Resort prices yeah when you step in you
6:36
start to realize how inexpensive in
6:38
comparison the Resort prices some of the
6:40
stuff are aloha shirts which is not you
6:42
know I call them like a Hawaiian shirt
6:44
but when you're in Hawaii a Hawaiian
6:45
shirt every shirt would be Hawaiian so
6:47
these are called aloha shirts they're
6:49
only 21.99 each and even the t-shirts
6:52
are a little less as well so the pretty
6:53
good prices all throughout if you want
6:55
to just go out of the resort itself and
6:58
then just get something for a little
6:59
less less pricey a little better on the
7:01
wallet didn't know much about the state
7:04
for arriving here
7:06
now the traffic through here is not too
7:08
bad here on Ko Olina you get off the
7:10
island so every place that we went this
7:12
week over the last series of days the
7:14
last seven days
7:16
all took at least an hour minimum to get
7:18
to and back and sometimes up to two
7:20
hours one way some of the days during
7:23
the weekdays with rush hour we were in
7:25
traffic for almost four hours round trip
7:27
going to some of the spots of traffic up
7:29
and down the coast
7:31
could get pretty it get pretty into and
7:33
they're not called interstates here
7:34
because there's not more than one state
7:36
they're just H1 H2 and H3 see the plane
7:40
going by and also groceries here are
7:42
about twice as much as they'd be on in
7:44
on the island even though I'm not really
7:45
a good gauge on grocery prices because I
7:47
don't buy groceries too often but they
7:49
seemed really expensive Street Zamboni
7:52
coming through
8:09
heavy machinery
8:14
very short walk
8:16
from over there
8:18
back over to the resort and they had a
8:20
little photo op here with the little
8:21
walking rocks
8:29
I love this Resort
8:29
dare I say
8:31
the best
8:39
Disney Vacation Club resort it's hard to
8:39
top this one I mean there's a lot of
8:40
nice ones
8:42
but a lot he's pretty pretty good I
8:45
think next time I stay here no matter
8:46
how many series of days it is seven
8:48
eight nine ten days if you will I'm
8:51
gonna probably try to have at least
8:52
another day that's a non-leaving the
8:55
resort day the first day so we got it we
8:58
flew in the first day the second day so
9:00
let's not count the first day the second
9:02
day we didn't leave the resort and today
9:04
we're not gonna leave the resort but
9:06
every other day we ventured out and
9:07
again with the traffic kind of consumed
9:10
most the day we did hit the pools in the
9:13
evening time in the early morning time
9:14
but didn't have
9:16
a long time frame each of those days at
9:19
the resort so next time I will learn I
9:22
want to call it a mistake but I will
9:23
learn from experiences
9:24
and probably
9:26
give myself and whoever I am with
9:30
a little more
9:32
hey I think I'm gonna go back up to the
9:34
room our room's over here overlooking
9:37
the pools and all that and get my
9:39
refillable coffee mug also soda mug I
9:43
don't drink soda anymore but you can
9:44
also get sugar-free juice and things
9:46
like that
9:47
and then I'm going to explore more of
9:49
the resort I didn't see the first day
9:50
yeah I'm over in the gift shop here take
9:52
a look at this Aulani has its own
9:54
specific Halloween merchandise so you
9:58
can get Disney Halloween merchandise
10:00
with Alani on it how freaking cool is
10:03
that right I feel like I need to
10:05
probably I bought a couple things
10:07
already but I do I actually have
10:09
Newfound appreciation for Stitch now
10:11
that I've been here because you know
10:13
Stitch is like a it's a movie based in
10:15
Hawaii yeah I love all the tropical see
10:17
a lot of stuff with the Aulani logo on
10:19
it there it's a stitch everywhere
10:21
through here and I'm not really a big
10:24
spirit jersey kind of guy I kind of run
10:26
a little hot so I don't really like to
10:27
wear like long sleeves too much but some
10:29
of these are temp I didn't get to meet
10:30
Olu Mel either the turtle kind of
10:33
disappointed I didn't get to meet him
10:34
well it might be a her it might be a
10:35
might be a female or a male I'm not
10:37
really sure but I heard that that is
10:38
kind of like The Unofficial the mascot
10:41
of alanik this is kind of neat it's like
10:43
a tiki Tiki style of the Aulani on the
10:46
side of it there that's kind of it again
10:47
long sleeve right there which I wear
10:50
long sleeve too much I wear them
10:51
sometimes but not two only a few times a
10:53
year yeah tell me how cute this Donald
10:55
one is however it is a it's on the back
10:57
so the design is on the back I kind of
10:59
like the ones where the Design's on the
11:00
front if that was on the front I would
11:01
definitely definitely buy it all right
11:03
interesting there's also Minnie huni
11:05
who's the Mischief maker maybe another
11:06
unofficial mascot of Alani he's got all
11:09
kind of merchandise including Lounge
11:10
flies now I did buy a stitched t-shirt
11:12
the other day so I think that's going to
11:14
be my one appropriate t-shirt that I am
11:16
buying from here on this particular trip
11:18
and I bought some pens too I'll show you
11:20
the little merch Hall later now inside
11:21
here they have some interesting stuff
11:23
they have this uh well Aloha shirt not a
11:25
Hawaiian shirt but they have this
11:26
specifically for Aulani it's about a
11:29
hundred dollars you do get a DVC
11:30
discount 10 I don't know I don't know if
11:32
I'm I have one Hawaiian shirt that I
11:34
brought with me and I packed kind of
11:35
light so I don't know if I'm gonna end
11:36
up getting that but that is pretty
11:38
tempting to get that that specific
11:40
design all right back up to the room and
11:42
I got my mug I believe this was like 22
11:43
23 give or take a dollar and your entire
11:46
Resort stay this this is active to get
11:50
coffee beverages teas water whatever you
11:54
want soda anything like that you can get
11:57
there's a couple different spots down
11:58
there that have the freestyle machines
12:00
as well as coffee spots all over the
12:02
resort and you just go up fill it up all
12:05
during the states if you stay two weeks
12:06
I'm only staying like a little over a
12:08
week couple days over a week but it's
12:09
good the whole time let's say you stay
12:11
here a month
12:12
one price and you can bring it back
12:13
because there's nothing on the bottom to
12:15
signify that you were here where some of
12:17
the ones at Disney World they have a
12:19
little coating on the bottom that when
12:20
you put it on there you can only use it
12:22
during a certain amount of time this is
12:25
not the case so it's a nice little hack
12:27
to to get some beverages your entire
12:30
stay also there's hidden gems not gems
12:33
but hidden animals in the all through
12:36
the The Volcano here I'll go down there
12:38
and point some of them out but that kind
12:39
of looks like an alligator or a
12:40
crocodile or some sort of mouth there
12:42
with the teeth the eyes and the nose you
12:45
got the head of a turtle popping up
12:49
thank you
12:50
I'm gonna go down there and find some of
12:52
course Joe Rohde had a big hand in
12:54
creating this place also Animal Kingdom
12:55
so this volcano reminds me a lot of the
12:58
Tree of Life with the animals in the
12:59
tree of life at Disney's Animal Kingdom
13:01
and Disney World and speaking of all you
13:03
need is your magic band to get in the
13:05
room you don't have to have the key they
13:07
give you if you have this linked up to
13:08
My Disney Experience app at Disney World
13:10
this will be linked up to your Aulani
13:13
reservation and
13:14
as soon as it comes into Focus
13:16
there it goes it will open the door
13:21
just like that
13:23
no need for a key at all
13:25
also the next time I'm staying here
13:28
we'll probably end up trying a
13:30
restaurant or two at the resort other
13:33
than some snacky stuff
13:35
not really doing many of the restaurants
13:36
this time but again I will be able to
13:39
come here for years to come I mean for
13:42
real how great is this place Koi pond
13:45
directly below where I'm standing with
13:48
the waterfalls and Mickey's over there
13:50
it looks like Mickey I think he only
13:51
meets up over there at certain times for
13:54
people who are eating breakfast at this
13:55
for breakfast or lunch I guess exactly
13:57
by this time of the day it's lunch time
13:59
you got the water projecting there kind
14:03
of like the bouncing water fountains and
14:05
then you got the cool way down below
14:07
look it comes from different angles
14:08
there really big koi fish in here I love
14:11
a good koi pond
14:16
and again I was showing some of the
14:16
animals that are hidden in the Rocks we
14:18
got that one there I think there's an
14:20
elephant an elephant over there on the
14:22
end
14:34
maybe possibly who knows look at Donald
14:34
and Daisy over there
14:36
what the heck
14:38
look Donald and Daisy just hanging out
14:40
over there next to the Lazy River
14:42
accomplished the coffee-ness right here
14:52
I believe that there is a giraffe on the
14:52
side of that where I vote the giraffe is
14:53
the water slide I'll go over there and
14:56
show the angle I'm talking about now
14:57
when I first checked in a week ago a
15:00
little over a week ago the lava Shack or
15:02
any of the other ones do not have any of
15:04
their pumpkins out but as of yesterday
15:06
or the day before now that well I guess
15:09
it would have been yesterday because
15:10
today's the second as recording us on
15:12
the first they put I started putting out
15:13
the pumpkins around the area so there's
15:17
pumpkins Halloween is in full effect
15:18
here hold on now it is kind of tough to
15:20
tell from this angle if I was in the
15:22
pool a little more directly and over to
15:24
the side just a few feet you would see
15:26
the giraffe's neck
15:28
I don't know that's just what I've
15:30
interpreting I mean all art is up for
15:31
interpretation but you can kind of see
15:33
the spots there and you can even see the
15:35
ears on the giraffe let's see if I can
15:36
find a different angle that's what I'm
15:38
thinking it's going to be the body of
15:40
the giraffe would be like the main
15:41
volcano and then the neck comes down
15:44
that direction I might be the only one
15:46
seeing it but yeah all right here is a
15:48
more zoomed in so giraffe head
15:52
possibly in my own mind giraffe head the
15:55
neck the spots
15:57
or the pattern I should say right there
16:00
yeah
16:07
or maybe I'm just maybe I'm just crazy
16:07
all right over here in the hot tub is
16:09
some sort of a squid
16:11
so you see the
16:13
octopus there and then you see the
16:14
tentacles wrapping up the side and then
16:17
over here
16:19
and there's also a gator here
16:23
but it's tough to see it's kind of at an
16:25
angle like that
16:28
kinda sort of slithering over the side
16:31
but definitely you see the Squid's eye
16:34
right there
16:36
and then over there is The Grotto now
16:38
there is one area of the resort I have
16:40
not been to yet and I'm gonna try to
16:42
venture over there now it is on the
16:43
other side of this Tower it is in fact
16:46
where they do the regular luau which I
16:49
did not attend the ilani luau this time
16:51
next time again plenty more visits in
16:53
the future just trying to do everything
16:56
over time
16:58
but I have not been on the other side of
17:00
the tower we're staying in which is a
17:02
whole other little kind of Garden area
17:04
I'm gonna just kind of cumulonimbus are
17:06
developing up there and it looks like
17:08
there's another octopus right up there
17:10
the octopus head the tentacles wrapping
17:12
around down the side you can see the
17:14
little suction cup things that an
17:16
octopus has so definitely very aquatic
17:18
themed with the little uh Octopus arms
17:22
right there you can see them
17:25
right over there
17:27
wedged in the side you can almost see it
17:29
better from this angle here so you can
17:31
almost get the perspective better for
17:32
here but the tentacles kind of wrapped
17:35
around the rock all right so here's some
17:37
jellyfish right here see the jellyfish
17:39
morphed into the side of the volcanic
17:43
structure as well
17:45
just kind of perusing around and seeing
17:48
what I can find I'm probably missing a
17:49
lot too there is a dragonfly I think I
17:52
pointed that out maybe the first day I
17:54
think my mom spotted that one and right
17:55
over here is like a little scorpion if
17:57
you follow this around you have these
17:59
little twirling devices over here over
18:01
to the hollow ye lawn and if you
18:04
continue following that around is the
18:06
grilled area over here where you can
18:08
utilize and cook your own food on the
18:12
grill so this is the first time the
18:13
whole time I've been here that I've
18:15
noticed this little section that goes
18:18
back this direction this is over behind
18:19
Auntie's beach house which is located
18:22
over there which is another little
18:24
restaurant type of item and you follow
18:27
this pathway along is hedge maze
18:30
past the trees and the foliage and the
18:33
beautifulness
18:35
of the island
18:36
oh yeah what the heck
18:46
okay these are interesting these must
18:46
have been original people who stayed
18:48
here
18:49
that got plaques almost like to leave a
18:51
legacy at Epcot or the little octagon
18:54
items in front of the Disneyland
18:56
Esplanade
19:03
okay this is nice
19:03
possibly setting up for a wedding out
19:06
there's a stage
19:11
I had no idea this is over here so this
19:14
is not ocean view rooms but you get a
19:15
good view of this little
19:17
Hub grass section
19:20
that's what it is Hub grass Style
19:23
I've seen those shirts my favorite color
19:24
is Hub grass they exist all right
19:26
there's another sea creature there and
19:28
another one there and take a look at
19:30
that there's a manta ray
19:32
right there I just keep finding them I
19:36
just love looking at these beautiful Koi
19:38
swimming oh my gosh is that a turtle
19:40
down there that can't be a real turtle
19:42
no no
19:44
now I've heard there's a spot here I've
19:46
talked to some cast members they said
19:47
there's a place called secret Beach
19:48
where I could possibly see some turtles
19:50
so I'm gonna walk over there
19:52
that is not a real turtle
20:02
but notice how the koi are right over
20:02
there and there's even some koi
20:05
over there there's a tail going by and
20:08
even a couple up there on that second
20:09
level I've been over there take a look
20:13
it's just koi everywhere
20:28
and I have finished my coffee
20:28
I'm now gonna go you utilize the
20:31
refillable container to get some punch
20:34
some sugar-free punch over here
20:48
I also learned what these are really
20:48
called infinity pools because it looks
20:50
like the pool goes off into the ocean
20:52
into Infinity
20:56
what am I I know you are but what am I I
20:58
know you are but what am I Infinity no
21:01
I'm not you are oh pee we listen to
21:04
reason
21:06
I think I'm gonna listen to my taste
21:08
buds and go get a
21:10
Shave Ice which I'm hearing is different
21:13
than a shaved ice it's going to be in
21:15
the shape
21:16
of a Hidden Mickey and over at the
21:19
Shaved Ice Pavilion got the stanchions
21:23
down here step one choose your Shave Ice
21:26
step two
21:28
order and pay choose flavors here these
21:31
are the different flavors cherry
21:32
strawberry pineapple banana great
21:34
watermelon guava mango orange vanilla
21:36
root beer and lime they are only open
21:38
11.
21:40
I think we're gonna go with two
21:42
different ones with shave ice with three
21:44
one for myself one for my mom you can
21:46
also get it with scoops of ice cream and
21:49
flavors and ice cream milk topping add
21:51
Mickey ears for a dollar oh yes I'm
21:53
gonna add Mickey ears for a dollar but
21:55
you can get three different flavors on
21:56
it they also have step two choose your
21:59
flavors here
22:05
um let's see here how about cherry
22:05
lemon lime and mango or how about Cherry
22:08
pineapple with mango Cherry pineapple
22:11
and mango so you get three of these and
22:13
they're gonna it's an additional dollar
22:15
to add the Mickey here so I'm gonna get
22:18
some Mickey here about it on there
22:20
as well here on the shade not to be
22:22
confused with shaved ice I've been told
22:24
by a few people but it's not shaved off
22:26
it's a shaved nice shaving a haircut
22:29
nice
22:31
with that flavor is Lee hidden you I
22:35
said bubble gum flavor I'm here to shoot
22:36
bubble gum and you know the rest and I'm
22:39
getting two spoons one for myself one
22:42
from I was gonna get two separate ones
22:43
but just makes more sense for us to
22:45
share one
22:46
right there it's gonna be like a rainbow
22:48
flavor with the three different ones
22:50
tucked away on there
22:59
all right there it is this is what we're
22:59
dealing with right here got the two
23:02
spoons take it over to my mom to share
23:05
this I think it's gonna melt pretty
23:06
quickly but
23:11
right there this shark by this Florida
23:11
shark
23:14
coming through Mickey here with the
23:18
little Rainbow Frost not frosting but
23:21
the rainbow design here coming through
23:24
oh that's a spoon right there in your
23:26
face double spoon additional dollar for
23:30
the Mickey ears I wonder if the uh
23:33
giraffe over there wants a Mickey ears
23:36
probably
23:38
good sized Mickey ears on that thing
23:40
that's it right there
23:42
turn it through this way just a little
23:45
bit this way yeah
23:47
because it tastes you already you
23:49
already went right into it yeah is it
23:51
good yep does it taste like a snow cone
23:54
or better than a snow cone uh don't know
23:56
yet you already tried it you already
23:59
have a bite it's oh my God you got to go
24:01
in for more
24:06
it might be good yeah is it easier that
24:06
flavor is good to see what this flavor
24:08
tastes like yeah there's just three
24:09
different flavors there
24:11
don't ask me to tell you what they are
24:12
because I can't remember
24:14
pineapple that's the one we had the
24:15
other day
24:17
yeah the color we had the other day we
24:20
had pina colada the other day I didn't
24:21
get pina colada oh that was good
24:25
should I go get my own
24:30
see if we can get a decorative angle
24:41
that's me okay it's got juice on it
24:41
love your channel it is the greatest
24:43
thank you all the time thanks so much oh
24:46
that's hard to get into it it comes with
24:47
ice cream too you can get ice cream
24:49
really I opted out of the ice cream so
24:52
they got the ice cream no because we're
24:54
gonna get the uh that's where the thing
24:56
is
24:59
cream mixed with it yeah they're just
25:02
melting pretty quickly yes it is I think
25:04
those Mickey ears are about to meet
25:05
their demise I think so too you'll get
25:08
them quickly they'll be gone all right
25:10
taking a little stroll now to a place
25:13
called secret Beach so there is this
25:15
beach
25:16
it was told by a couple cast members
25:18
it's a secret Beach so my mom and I
25:19
walked out here
25:21
on one of the first or second days we
25:23
were here but we didn't go all the way
25:24
down supposedly sometimes there are
25:26
turtles at secret Beach so I'm gonna see
25:28
if I can see the turtles I also learned
25:30
and made a mistake on the first day I
25:32
Was Here by saying this is a private
25:34
beach but evidently Hawaii has no
25:37
private beaches every Beach can be
25:39
accessible by locals and tourists and
25:44
that has to do with the fact that's why
25:46
a lot of other DVC Resorts when you're
25:48
staying there you will end up having
25:52
so you could you end up having like a
25:53
little checkpoint when you walk in here
25:55
anybody can pull in Park walk the resort
25:58
that's why they give out these for the
26:01
pool
26:02
and a lot of other Resorts like at
26:04
Disney World
26:05
when you're staying at the DVC Resorts
26:07
you have a checkpoint before going in
26:09
okay they got a sign over here to keep
26:12
50 feet distance from the seal taking a
26:15
little nap over there
26:17
so there's a worker out here
26:24
said don't go any closer than this
26:24
because there's a seal
26:26
take a look
26:27
right on the beach
26:28
and I asked if there was any Turtles she
26:31
said that she hasn't seen any Turtles
26:32
but sometimes there'll be turtles in
26:33
here also
26:35
pretty neat seal up on the water taking
26:37
a little snoozage
26:53
how beautiful is this
26:53
no turtles
26:58
this is where the turtles are sometimes
26:58
seen
27:09
gorgeous
27:09
and then walking back very very Rocky
27:12
through here you got this little secret
27:15
pathway if you will walking back up to
27:17
the not so Secret Sidewalk
27:27
thing look at this
27:27
little indentations here got some ants
27:30
you know with any new place you learn as
27:33
you do
27:36
and learn as you go and spend more time
27:39
in something so I'm sure still
27:41
completely a novice
27:43
but cleared up a few mistakes
27:51
more visits to this area and the other
27:53
Islands I'll learn a little bit more
27:55
it's kind of nice going into a place I
27:57
want to say spoiler free because I knew
27:59
a little bit about this but I didn't
28:01
really do any kind of
28:02
deep diving into
28:08
the property or
28:08
Hawaii in general other than just kind
28:09
of things I've noticed or seen in pop
28:12
culture and movies TV show and
28:15
documentaries and things over the course
28:17
of my life
28:19
but now that I'm here
28:21
kind of soaked it in a little bit look
28:22
at those storm clouds rolling up
28:32
kind of evil up there this is a neat
28:32
little area though it keeps the waves
28:34
from crashing in
28:36
onto the beach
28:38
so these rocks
28:52
eat the waste from crashing in over
28:52
there it's a little overcast today I
28:54
probably don't even need the big brimmed
28:56
hat
28:57
don't even really need it I could
28:58
probably probably take this off but then
29:01
I'd be carrying it which
29:03
but they just carry it on my head all
29:04
right another one in the rock this is a
29:06
turtle
29:08
camera which ones I've shown and which
29:10
ones I have them but yeah there's a
29:11
bunch of them here
29:12
kind of going down the side
29:20
it's like a sea turtle there sea turtles
29:20
out
29:21
yeah it is a fish it's not a turtle I
29:23
thought it was a turtle it's a fish a
29:25
fish head and then the Fin's going down
29:29
in a heart maybe over here yeah yeah
29:32
possible for a flower
29:35
oh yeah
29:36
who knows Ah that's a crab right there
29:39
there's a crab with a little crab eyes
29:41
and the legs all right a couple obvious
29:45
ones standing here at this position I
29:47
see an owl
29:49
up top there above this head I can't
29:51
tell what animal this is but that is
29:54
clearly a face oh it's still there oh
29:57
man
29:58
right there and then up top an owl head
30:05
whoo
30:10
but I don't know
30:10
but this just reminds me of The Never
30:12
Ending Story
30:14
the nothing
30:21
we've been down here
30:21
foreign tucked away over here on this
30:24
incline is something else
30:27
see the eyes see the arms
30:30
going up the side of the incline an
30:32
insect of some sort perhaps also a face
30:35
right here
30:36
there's a face
30:39
see it
30:46
and a fish right here there's a fish
30:46
here's another fish two fishes swimming
30:51
side by side so notice the olani logo
30:53
here there is a pterodactyl
30:56
so I'm gonna head over here now
30:58
over where the beach is
31:00

not take long to melt I mean just in a
31:54
short amount of time I walked over here
