We eventually got on the road though before noon headed up to<br \/>\nthe North Shore.  I had wanted to drive up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Attraction_Review-g29222-d279144-Reviews-Pali_Highway-Oahu_Hawaii.html\">the Pali highway<\/a>, so we<br \/>\nheaded that way.  It was really nice.  We were driving in the Mustang<br \/>\nwith the top down.  About halfway up the mountain, the rain started.<br \/>\nOoops.  We pulled over and I put the top up.  Lesson learned.  Then we<br \/>\nstopped and checked out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaiihighways.com\/photos-Oahu6.htm\">pali highway scenic overlook<\/a> which is<br \/>\nreally pretty cool.  And headed on our way around to the North Shore.<br \/>\nMy goal: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.turtlebayresort.com\/\">Turtle Bay Resort<\/a> which had a pretty nice bay for<br \/>\nsnorkeling and is open to the public.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBefore getting there though, we ran across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/giovannis-shrimp-truck-kahuku\">Giovanni&#8217;s Shrimp Truck<\/a>,<br \/>\nwhich Risa had wanted to try since we got here.  We tried to find it<br \/>\nthe previous week, but missed it.  It was about 200 meters further<br \/>\ndown from where we turned around the first time (when we went<br \/>\nhorseback riding.)  It was really good.  We got a half-plate, which<br \/>\nwas perfect for us since I feel like I&#8217;ve only been eating all the<br \/>\ntime since I got here and I am positive that I am going to explode<br \/>\neven if I only have something that is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BlK62rjQWLk\">wafer-thin<\/a> (when nothing here<br \/>\nis.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter that, we headed out and hit the Turtle Bay beach.  We rented<br \/>\nscuba gear, and Risa went nuts.  I didn&#8217;t really do too well with the<br \/>\nscuba gear.  I had trouble when my nose and ears were at different<br \/>\npressure differentials, and I also kind of panicked when floating<br \/>\naround (seems unnatural) and then when I got salt in my mouth I<br \/>\nfreaked out.  So I went and read, Risa went swimming for a long time.<br \/>\nIt was good.  I finished my book (<br \/>\n<a\nhref=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0553587331?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=daveva-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0553587331\">Light<\/a><img\nsrc=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=daveva-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0553587331\"\nwidth=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important;\nmargin:0px !important;\" \/>)<br \/>\nand it was a good book.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThen we headed back to Waikiki and got dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/legend-seafood-restaurant-honolulu\">Legend Seafood in Chinatown<\/a>.
