I NEED to move to Hawaii! At least at some point in my life-even if it's just for a year! It would be like a permanent vacation.
Our vacation was wonderful (well...except for the whole part when Elden got sick). It was just the vacation I needed. We didn't do a ton-just layed out, swam and snorkeled, ate hula pie twice and at Puka Dog. :) Had Elden felt better-we probably would have done more outings-but I'm really ok with just doing nothing and laying in the sun!
We did go to the Polynesian Cultral Center one night-and the HA: Breath of Life show was AMAZING!!! It's seriously the coolest show I've ever seen! The fire dancers were my most favorite part! I highly recommend it if you ever go to Oahu! We got discounted tickets on Hickam AFB (another benefit of being in the Air Force), but even if you have to pay full price-it's worth every penny!
We didn't take any pictures really-other than the 3 I took on my cell phone which really aren't anything good. I did take some when we went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay-but they're on the disposable underwater camera we bought in 2008 for our trip to Mexico, and we're still not done with it. We're not very good picture takers! So it will probably be another 3 or 4 years before we finally develop the thing.
