From west to east United States!

On October 1st I took an AirAsia flight to the city of Honolulu in Hawaii, surely the cheapest flight I’ve ever booked: 100 euros for an 8-hour flight..
Flying from Japan to Honolulu is literally time traveling, I departed Monday late night and arrived on Monday noon, so that was my longest Monday ever, where I stayed awake for about 36 hours. It’s very interesting that already at the Honolulu airport you can see the buses painted with flowers, the airport staff wearing flowers and men wearing Hawaiian shirts, so you can get the Hawaiian feel right away.
The weather was super hot, maybe like the first days in Japan, humid and around +30/+32.
I stayed at a hostel 45’ walk from Waikiki beach, and as I had only 2 days, I did the must: enjoyed a beer while watching the sunset at Waikiki beach, and went to Diamond Head, a place with spectacular views of the island.
Hawaii was in general very expensive, much more than Japan, so it was a good idea not staying there too long.
On October 3rd I went back to the airpot and took a Hawaiian Airlines flight to San Francisco.
Having also only 2 nights there, this time I picked a centric hostel with breakfast. Went to the city’s walking tour to know more about the city history and made a couple friends with whom I had a great time.
San Francisco is a very beautiful city, probably now my US favourite, although it’s also very expensive, maybe the most expensive city in the US. I was also very shocked about the amount fo homeless people sleeping in the center streets. I could count 30 people sleeping in just a same block, I have never seen such thing before, not even in poor countries. But on the other hand, there are very spectacular places and views of the bay, the Golden Gate bridge and the beaches around that I was able to enjoy walking and walking by the city.
For my birthday, I chose to spend it in New York, the city that used to be my hometown when I was 23. Flew 6 hours to there and stayed at Omar’s place, an Argentinian and River Plate fan I met while working at the Google NYC office. He even took a day off to stay with me on my birthday and we had a great time together, we could also watch a River Plate match on the TV :). The next day, I went meet in Brooklyn my NYC hero Alex, the person with whom I spent most of the time on those 2 years in NY.
After a stop in Florida, it’s time to say goodbye to the US and go south to the next country!
