Next time i'm there I have to track my steps, i walked sooo much 😅 and vlogging with a camcorder was not the move with how walkable Waikiki is ❤

[@YestoHawaii]

Riight!? But a nice place to get the steps in

[@mariasmiles68]

Yes, more of these in real time, please. They are the best videos I have found. Ice cream shops would be great, too.

[@YestoHawaii]

Will do! There's more on the yestohawaii.com site too 🌺

[@joerampley1562]

Enjoying this video

[@keithpomeraning9784]

Something just perfect about "place to get your steps in" immediately followed by a dog sprawled out not wanting to move. LOL. And "Ice Cream!"

[@YestoHawaii]

Yessss! That dog was adorable, he's a paid actor (kidding). Thanks for watching to the end... I'm compiling a list of my favorite ice cream spots for an upcoming video 🍦

[@keithpomeraning9784]

@@YestoHawaii Now that's some research we can all get behind!

[@jimbevens5881]

The Waikiki Trolley Pink line has an allday pass from Waikiki to the mall For $5.50.

[@YestoHawaii]

Pink line is a great option to get your bearings around Waikiki! 🌺

[@hommefield9612]

What a beautiful day to do a walking tour in Ala Moana. I can’t even remember the last time I just walked around and visit the new renovations and shops so thank you for this!

[@YestoHawaii]

It was a nice sunny day so we were able to walk around in some shade too!

Aloha Mariam , Thanks for the wonderful walk through Ala Moana , we used to visit every year , have not returned since January 2019 , long overdue ! Used to always dine at Bubba Gumps and Ruby Tuesday , sadly , both closed now , very fond memories for our family . Thanks for the walking tours , makes us feel close to the beautiful island of O'Ahu .

[@YestoHawaii]

Aww that's so good! The walking tours are fun to make

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Yes please! more real time walks around the shopping in Hawaii.

[@YestoHawaii]

Will be adding more to the list! 🌺

[@rogerhoover8044]

Great video on mall. My wife loves malls. I keep her happy with a purse full of money, and shopping every day.

[@YestoHawaii]

Haha sounds reasonable

[@TraceNoOne]

Oh wow that brings memories. Walking, shopping and taking a break to watch the performers.

[@YestoHawaii]

Aww! 🌺 Glad you liked it. I've created a separate playlist of just walking videos since there's interest in them

[@Greg-qw7xl]

The hula show near Target was pretty good. Last time i was there they held one at 5 pm.

[@MichaelPerry-ol7kk]

Thank you for your tour. I kept thinking “that used to be a . . . . .” As you walked by various storefronts. Used to walk around the mall with my girlfriend back in the 70’s ad 80’s. Woolworth, Sears, and JCPenney had cafes. No food court, in its location was Lynns Deli - people would line up outside for sandwiches.

[@YestoHawaii]

Walking videos are fun to do 🌺 I didn't realize there would be so much interest in them. And it's a great way to get filming...and my steps in haha

[@AndrewBecherer]

Ice cream! 🍦

[@YestoHawaii]

Perfect!

[@808dms]

I’m getting my virtual walking exercise done watching this video. 🤣👍🏼. I need to get a photo of that store construction wall with the word “Shoots” graphic on it, me being a photographer. 😉📷🤙🏼

[@YestoHawaii]

Right?!? It's a great virtual walk or treadmilk walk too 🌺 Oh shoot, I might have just missed that graphic. The ALOHA one is so cute!

[@hommefield9612]

Full-length narration would be great! I was curious about Island Brew Coffee Shop. Also, it’d be interesting to see the mileage doing a full lap of the whole mall 😅

[@YestoHawaii]

I was thinking the same...how many miles IS it if we walked the ENTIRE thing?

[@michaeldistefano4054]

Thanks sweetie ,i I love watching your vlogs it gets me excited for when I arrive on 22nd August can’t come soon enough.thanks again Michael ❤❤❤

[@YestoHawaii]

sure thing sweetie! 🌺

Mariam, Have you ever thought of doing videos for 1). Iolani Palace 2). Bishop Museum 3). Aloha Tower 4). Polynesian Cultural Center 5). Sea Life Park 6). Honolulu Zoo 7). Aloha Stadium Swap Meet Just to name a few?

[@YestoHawaii]

Great ideas! Adding them to the list 🌺

[@thejessta]

Great video as always. Shout out to you AND your camera operator! I’m planning to visit Ala Moana on my trip next month, too, mainly to check out the Kanile’a Ukelele shop, a few of the eateries, and the massive Foodland. Looking forward to the next video! ICE CREAM!🍦

Yess...ICE CREAM! 🍦 Love this! Thanks for watching. Putting together a script and ideas on how to film it 🌺

Right!?! It'll be my favorite video to make haha

[@Michaela243]

Another wonderful video! The Ala Moana Center is a fantastic mall! I love that even though you’re in the mall you can enjoy the sweet Hawaiian air and occasionally the breeze. The last day of our Hawaii vacations we’d check out of the Hyatt Waikiki and walk to the Ala Moana Center to eat lunch and then walk back to Waikiki. I was in the movie theatre business for over forty years so we ate at Bubba Gump’s before it closed (I believe it was where Olive Garden is now). You asked about favorite malls. Hands down bar none for me was the original International Market Place. It was a unique somewhat eclectic place filled with shops, souvenirs and places to eat. To me it fit Waikiki much better than the new International Market Place which seems to contain primarily upscale shopping that doesn’t fit Waikiki near as well. Ice cream, by far the best ice cream I ever had was at Bubbies Homemade Ice Cream in the KoKo Marina Center (sadly I know it has now closed.) The dive boat we always used was moored there. After breathing compressed air much of the day there was nothing more refreshing Bubbies ice cream! Cute story from Bubbies. After diving my wife, daughter and I went to Bubbies for ice cream. We got our cones and walked outside to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian day. The first time my wife licked her ice cream it rolled off the cone onto the ground. She had the saddest little look on her face. I simply said “if I were you I’d go back inside and get me another one.” All three of us laughed and she did. Just another wonderful memory of being in Hawaii! Thank you for another great video! Your cousin in eastern NC, Mike

[@YestoHawaii]

Aww! Thank you!

[@ruthmclean5116]

Hi Mariam!! We would love to see way more content like this, especially of the Ala Moana. It’s such a beautiful mall and unlike anything else in the world so if you could do a part 2 and part 3, it would be greatly appreciated. We are fascinated by the humongous food court and would like a longer walk around it. We would also very much like seeing the stores open and the tourists wandering around because it’s a whole different vibe from when they are closed. People watching is a thing! 😁 This request might be really difficult for the girl who is filming due to all the dodging and weaving she has to do but if it’s not too much trouble, can you guys pan around to the store fronts a little more so we can get a teeny glimpse inside of them? A big YES to the best places to get ice cream! Watching your vlogs have become a weekend tradition for us. We so love your content and the fact that you want feedback from us is really considerate of you! ♥️

[@YestoHawaii]

Aww! Will do! I took a bit of a break from KZbin for a month or two (so burnt out). I'm baaaaack! ♥️ Lots of videos planned for this upcoming weekend
