donna in mililani

One of the main reasons for my SFO overnite trips was get my Target shopping fix.

Well, that's not necessary anymore since the two Target stores in HI finally opened today to everyone's delight. It was supposed to be a silent opening and it was anything but.....

So instead of taking a plane, now i can take my volvo!

By lunch time and after my morning run, of course, mom, dad, and i drove to Kapolei to see for ourselves and experience one of the biggest thrills we've had here in a long time...yes, Target is Big here!

Driving to Kapolei felt like driving to Gilroy from Sfo.....too far, eventhough it probably took me only 20 minutes to get there! I guess i should have gone to the Salt Lake location, which was closer i think, but the drive to the country side sounded more pleasant.

Oh it wasnt so country out there anymore...in a way, it really did look kind of like Gilroy or other shopping places i've been to in the mainland with those huge parking lots, but only better...

Despite all of the excitement i was trying to control the urge to splurge....oh Target didnt dissapoint for sure and even though i walked away only with 2 cans of Spam (yes, they were on sale for a $1.50 each--ha, ha), shower curtain hooks shabby chick collection, and a deodorant, i know i can always come back since Target is here to stay!

Now, if only Ikea was to open here....i guess those overnite trips to Sfo is far from over!
