Luau

Ok, so our original plan was to do a sunset dinner cruise on Valentine's Day and do the hotel's luau another day. Well, the dinner cruises were all booked for Valentine's evening, and the hotel's luau was temporarily not available either. So, that left us doing the Paradise Cove luau for Valentine's Day, sounded good enough. For reason we both had in mind this intimate luau setting on the beach (thanks to every tv sitcom that has ever done a Hawaii episode), but thats not exactly what was in store. After a delay with the buses and the herding of all the people to travel to a different area of the island, we finally arrived at Paradise Cove with 1,800 of our closest friends. Literally, there were 1,800 people at this thing! There was a lot of waiting around with little games and shows which we weren't really into, but we did get some good photos and the after dinner (no, there was no whole roasted pig in sight) the show was actually pretty entertaining. Overall it was a really long evening that wasn't exactly as we had hoped, but nonethelss now we can officially cross "luau" off of our Hawaiian to-do list.

Even though the luau wasn't exactly what we had expected, we still a wonderful first Valentine's Day together!
