WE VISITED JURASSIC PARK at Kualoa Ranch on Oahu!! And a New Hotel in Waikiki!

The cruise around Hawaii is over, but we are not done yet! We are spending three more days on Oahu and have plans for some fun stuff! We pick up our car through Turo at the cruise port and drop the kids off at the airport... and we are off! First stop is the North Shore for some lunch at one of the many food trucks... man was that good!
And our main adventure for the day is the Jurassic Adventure at Kualoa Ranch. We are so excited about this and it was a tough reservation to get as they sell out way in advance. I checked and checked and someone must have canceled because two spots opened up and I snatched them! This is one of the main filming locations for the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchises. It is amazing to be in the valley where you saw the dinosaurs in the movies. It was a two and a half hour tour and we saw and learned so much... and there were some pretty cool photo ops.
Once the tour was over, we headed to Waikiki to check into our hotel. We stayed at the Aston Waikiki Beach with an incredible view from the 16th floor! But all is not paradise... Jason's phone was stolen sometime between dropping the car in valet and getting to our room. Now we have the fun task of trying to get a replacement phone while on vacation...

    Hello Alissa and Jason. I am not sure if you read all your comments or not but I wanted to share how happy your channel makes me. I have been through a horrible breakup and have basically been from work and home. I have pretty bad anxiety so travel is not really in my future. Your marriage has been such an inspiration to me and is just beautiful. Also, all the traveling you do takes someone like me with you. I am so grateful to have found you guys. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!

    100% agree, hate people who steal and the front desk saying you didn't set it there? Hmmm, in on the allowance of said thief or in on the profit of selling stolen items. I once left a quilted baby blanket that my mom had made for my son in Myrtle Beach. Yeah, nope, didn't see it. Bullshi$. It makes me so mad! Anyway, loved Jurassic Park tour and I haven't seen the new one but will def add to my list!

    That's one of the negative sides to Waikiki Beach. A lot of these condos have some individuals running side deals out of the front desk - drugs sales, escorts, theft. I have very close friend who is a 5 - 0 that had a murder in one the condos and that condo refused to assist with any surveillance video until he forced them with a warrant
