Hawian Adventure

I went to Waikiki, which is located on the island of Oahu the summer of 2000. I was sixteen years of age and just got my driver’s license. Unlike my friends, I was on the island for the first time. For the first day there, our primary goal was to rent scooters and go on an adventure. However, I was not old enough to rent one. The rule was that you had to be eighteen or older to rent a scooter.

I have never experienced that in my entire life.

The city of Waikiki was nothing that I could have ever imagined. The one way streets made us feel like laboratory rats trapped in a maze. After driving the scooter all day I could definitely feel a difference from the power and thrust of the engine. This is when I started to lag behind. My friends pulled up to a stop sign and made a left turn. By the time that I had gotten to that point, the traffic came through which made me lose my friends.
