We LOVE Hawaii!!

Let's just say we have only been here a couple days and we already love it! Our flight here was great. Hawaiian Airlines still gives you a meal - can you believe it!! The flight was about 6 hours and we landed to warm hot weather. Our room is awesome. We have to balconies that look over a lagoon and part of Waikiki beach. We spent the afternoon walking around the resort and then that evening we drove to the other side of the island to have dinner with the parents of a friend. They live in Kailua and they gave us some great tips on what to see and do here. On Thursday we went in a submarine and saw some beautiful fish and several green sea turtles. That was an amazing experience. Then in the afternoon I went snorkling for the very first time. We snorkled at Waikiki beach - it was a good place for me to learn. There were some fish but not tons and we even saw puffer fish - lots of them. The area is being taken over by algae so there is not as much wildlife as other areas. Today we are going to Hanauma Bay which is supposed to be great for snorkling. We are also going to the Dole Pineapple plantation, North Shore to see some surfers, Kailua beach and lots of other places. We are driving around most of Oahu today. We will upload some pictures tonight for everyone to see. We have some of the views outside our room, the sea turtles, etc. Tomorrow we fly out for the big island!

Aloha!

Cool! What hotel did you stay at? Y'all hav such great taste in accomodations. I loved the beach outside our hotel when we went 6 years ago. It had a sweet little jetty or barrier that made you feel like you were in a little lagoon. Did you get the sparkling sun on the water kinda day? Doesn't it feel like the best summer vacation day ever?
So happy for you both!
